TikTok has announced that it’s shutting down its original $1 billion Creator Fund and shifting the focus to its newer Creativity Program. Starting December 16, the Creator Fund will be discontinued in the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Creators who are currently enrolled in the Creator Fund can switch to the Creativity Program.

The Creator Fund, which launched in 2020, has long been criticized by creators who have complained about low payouts, with some saying they earned a few dollars for videos that got millions of views.
