Creator Economy

The creator economy is in the middle of its second compression — the platform algorithms shifted in late 2024, ad rates moved against creators in 2025, and the brand-deal market split into a long tail of smaller activations. Meanwhile, the strongest creators are going further into commerce: their own products, their own Shopify stores, their own retention loops. We follow the practitioners writing about the work — Substack newsletters from full-time creators, behind-the-scenes podcast episodes, the platform-side updates from YouTube/TikTok/Instagram, and the operator reads from places like The Information, Embedded, and Workweek. If you're building a creator-led brand or you sell to creators, this topic is the steady drumbeat of what's actually changing on the ground, not what the LinkedIn thinkpieces say is changing.
