Media personality Mariam Oyakhilome has claimed that many content creators are now struggling financially because Facebook no longer pays creators the way it used to.
According to her, creators who previously earned hundreds of dollars from viral videos are now receiving significantly lower payouts despite pulling millions of views.
She alleged that a video with one million views that once generated around $500 may now earn less than $20, a situation she says has left many creators frustrated and financially strained.
Her comments have since sparked reactions online, with several content creators sharing similar experiences about declining monetisation earnings and changing social media payout systems.
