Paying UGC creators without a studio in the middle

Rec Room’s economics failed at platform scale. A smaller site can still publish a revenue share up front and not change it once there is leverage.

If you take money on a room page, say whether it is support, a download, or a license. Ambiguous checkout is how creators get angry mail.

Publish the split

Creators should see the share before they upload. Adjusting it after a hit is the old ending.

Support is not a SKU unless you say so

A tip is not a copy of the old room. If you sell a file, name the file.
