Question about monetizing and creators.

Hi
I just join because of the whole Reddit situation. I was a mod for a very small group. Myself and 2 mods from fairly larger groups are currently on Discord but this looks like a much better place for our needs.
My question is if there are 3-4 content creators working together is it easy to split money made from subscribers or does it all go to one person and that person needs to distribute it. Same question but for donations.

Thanks

Hey Pookie. Thanks for your interest in the app.

Currently we only support doing payouts to the community owner, so all the revenue made via memberships and post bumps would go to them and they would then have to distribute it. As far as donations go, as a community owner you can link any PayPal address and whenever someone makes a donation it would go directly to that account. In terms of donations, the money never hits our system.

We've been having talks internally about building out a system as you described where multiple people per community could go through our KYC (know-your-customer) process and be eligible for receiving a cut of the revenue which would be handled programmatically. In such a system, we'd likely make it customizable so that the community owner could decide what percentages of the revenue to assign to each participant.

We'd love to get some feedback on what an ideal system would look like before building anything. If it's something that there's demand for, we could certainly look at prioritizing it.
