Q: Why do users pay a $9.99 monthly subscription to TheBlock App?

The $9.99 monthly fee is the cost of platform access, which includes viewing, creation tools, and core security features. Crucially, a significant portion of this fee is immediately routed into the Creator Revenue Share Pool. This pool is how we are able to pay creators directly from their first subscriber without requiring ad views or minimum watch hours.

Q: How does my "free content" channel make money?

Your free content channel earns money through our Platform-Paid Creator Incentive. For every free subscriber you gain on your channel, TheBlock App pays you $1.00 per month from the general revenue share pool. You get paid for building your audience, making free content a guaranteed income stream.

Q: If I charge for subscriptions, what percentage does TheBlock App take?

We take 0%. When you charge a subscription fee for your channel, you keep 100% of those profits. Your subscription revenue is entirely your own.

Q: Do I still receive an incentive if I have a paid channel?

Yes! In addition to keeping 100% of your channel's subscription profits, TheBlock App pays you an additional $0.25 per paid subscriber from our revenue share pool. This stacks on top of your own subscription income.

Q: What is the difference between Regular and Family-Friendly profiles?

Both profile types cost $9.99/month for platform access.

• Regular Profile (18+): Provides full, unrestricted access to all content categories (E, PG, PG-13, R, X) and creation tools. R and X content must be explicitly selected to view.
• Family-Friendly Profile: Enforces E-PG content viewing and creation restrictions. These accounts do not see higher-rated categories (PG-13, R, X) on their homepage or anywhere in the platform.

Q: How do I become a Creator?

All users start with a Viewer profile. To become a Creator, simply navigate to "My Block" in your profile settings and create your channel. Once created, you'll unlock upload capabilities, analytics, and eligibility for the Creator Incentive Program.

Q: Can I change my profile type later?

Yes, you can switch between Regular and Family-Friendly profile types at any time in your Profile Settings.

Q: What are weblinks on my Block profile?

As a Creator, you can add up to 3 optional weblinks to your Block profile. These can link to your website, shop, social media, or any other platform where you want to direct your viewers.
