Other Platforms & Creator Culture

Drama channel

Also called: tea channel

The subject matter is other creators, and the supply never runs out. It grows fast and burns out fast. Some of it is genuine journalism about people with real influence over large audiences. A lot of it is repackaged screenshots and speculation behind a shocked face and a red circle.

The risks are specific. Harassment and cyberbullying rules apply to videos aimed at an individual, and a channel that keeps targeting the same person can be actioned even when each video looks defensible alone. Coverage built on other people's footage runs into copyright as well. There is a growth problem too: the audience follows the conflict, so it leaves when the conflict does.
