🎬 Disney & Netflix Bet on Influencers
@producerpatrick I’m back.
Streaming giants Disney and Netflix are turning to influencers to shape the future of entertainment. Despite its $100 million budget, Amazon’s Beast Games—starring MrBeast—hit 50 million views in just 25 days, proving creator-led programming can rival traditional Hollywood hits.
With younger audiences drifting from subscription-based streaming, platforms are looking to influencers with built-in, engaged followings. Industry insiders report a surge in demand, particularly for unscripted content, as seen with Max’s new reality series starring Jake and Logan Paul.
Netflix is even exploring podcast interviews on its platform. The message is clear—creators are no longer just social media stars; they’re shaping mainstream entertainment.

֎ Next-Gen Creator Economy AI Assistants

The creator economy has grown rapidly, but monetization still favors centralized platforms. These platforms take large cuts, impose restrictions, and limit creators' control over their work.
Web3 promised more freedom, but its complex onboarding has kept many creators away. Now, AI-powered autonomous agents are emerging as a solution, handling content management, monetization, and ownership with less friction.
These agents automate licensing, pricing, and revenue splits, giving creators more control. They also unlock new income models, like micro-licensing and fractional ownership, while maintaining transparency through blockchain technology.
What This Means for Creators:
AI-Powered Monetization – Automates pricing, licensing, and revenue distribution.
Decentralized Ownership – Embeds programmable licensing for fair use and compensation.
Smarter Content Management – Assists with curation, editing, and audience insights.
Greater Creative Freedom – Reduces reliance on centralized platforms for distribution.
As AI and blockchain evolve, creators now have a path to greater independence and long-term success.

💳 Mastercard’s New Program for Creators

The creator economy is booming, but financial instability remains a major challenge. Rising costs, inconsistent income, and a lack of business tools make it difficult for independent creators to scale their ventures.
Mastercard is stepping in with Business Builder, a new debit and credit card program designed specifically for creators. Along with financial products, it offers business management tools, cybersecurity protection, and credit-building insights.
Additionally, Mastercard’s catalyst program provides education, mentorship, and access to essential business resources—helping creators turn their passion into a sustainable business.
