The content creator economy is booming. In Canada alone, YouTube’s creator ecosystem contributed almost 1 billion dollars to the GDP in 2020 and 84% of Canadian creative entrepreneurs say that YouTube helped them reach audiences they wouldn’t otherwise have access to (Google Official Canada Blog, June 15, 2021). For many creatives, sales revenue from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, have surpassed traditional retail channels.
