The Game Is Rigged
Creator exploitation needs to stop, here we detail some examples of how those who create value, seldom reap the rewards.
At Grow Studio, we have identified significant disparities in the distribution of value within various entertainment industries. The imbalance between the creators, who form the backbone of these industries, and the corporate platforms, which profit disproportionately from their work, is glaring and unjust.
In the music industry, artists receive only a small fraction from streaming platforms. For instance, as per Soundcharts data from 2020, Spotify pays a mere $0.00348 per stream. This translates to needing over 336,842 plays for an artist to earn the US monthly minimum wage.
Similarly, in the film and TV industry, screenwriters face exploitation. Data from the Writers Guild of America reveals that in 2017, over half of the guild's film writers earned less than $25,000 from screenwriting, while the revenue for major film studios ran into billions.
The gaming industry presents a comparable scenario. Platforms such as Valve's Steam, which is one of the leading online marketplaces for PC gaming, takes a 30% cut from game sales. This significant cut affects independent developers, in particular, who rely heavily on their revenues for survival.
Even in book publishing, authors are left with only a small percentage of book sales. As reported by the Authors Guild in 2018, authors earned just 24% of the net revenue from their published works, while the lion's share of the profit went to the publishers.
In the comic industry, the creator of "The Winter Soldier," Ed Brubaker, has stated that his earnings from the cameo appearance in the movie outstrip what he earned from creating the character itself.
At Grow Studio, our mission is to rectify these discrepancies and ensure a fairer distribution of value. We aim to provide a platform where creators are justly compensated for their contributions, thereby establishing a more equitable model for the entertainment industry.

Grow Studio's 10 Step Plan For Creator Empowerment
Grow Studio leverages the concept of "Peers Inc" by acting as an "Inc" – a platform that facilitates and nurtures the creativity of "Peers" – the individual creators and innovators.
In-house Professional Teams: Establish proficient teams of developers, animators, and artists to lay the groundwork of IP. Their expertise will ensure a solid base upon which the community can build.
Community Approach: After the foundational layer is set, encourage the collaborative collective of creators to enhance, modify, and expand the IP. This approach creates a synergy between professional craftsmanship and community-driven creativity.
Supportive Framework: Provide an extensive support system to the collaborative collective, facilitating their creative journey with mentorship from the in-house teams, peer guidance, and access to advanced tools.
Iterative Process: Encourage an iterative process where in-house teams and the community work together, learning from each other, and creating a robust and dynamic IP.
Transparency and Respect: Maintain a transparent approach with clear communication channels between in-house teams and the community. Respect every contribution, ensuring each creator feels valued and heard.Revenue Sharing: Implement a fair and transparent revenue sharing model that rewards both the in-house teams and the community creators proportionally to their contributions.
Ownership Rights: Ensure that both the in-house teams and community contributors share ownership of their creations. Use Web3 technology to provide irrefutable proof of their contributions.Continued Development: Provide opportunities for ongoing development, where in-house teams can work with the community on updates, expansions, and new iterations of the IP.
Creative Freedom: While providing guidelines and support, ensure that the in-house teams and the community have creative freedom to explore, innovate, and express themselves through their work.
Celebrate Success: Celebrate the achievements and milestones of both in-house teams and community creators. Showcase their work and share success stories to inspire and motivate the entire creative community.
