The filters or effects seen on TikTok are made by contributors and designers, and the company has now updated its program to add more users to it, lowering the eligibility for creators to opt in. This means that more people will get a chance for their filters to be monetized on the platform, depending on the number of users that utilize it, expanding more compared to the previous policy.

TikTok updated its Effect Creator Rewards program earlier today, announcing lower eligibility that would allow more users to opt in and earn on the platform for their creations. Before this, TikTok's program had already given the creators their fair share in the experience, allowing those with massive userbase to get the compensation they so much deserve.
In this update, TikTok lowers the eligibility, and it only requires filter creators to have five effects published on the platform, with at least three of these filters already used in 1,000 videos. To begin collecting rewards, TikTok said that users need to have at least 200,000 videos using their filter.
Before this change, TikTok only included users who have garnered 500,000 videos using their effects-with the platform now only requiring to achieve the Gold badge level.

Moreover, it is expanding the program to 14 more countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam.

TikTok's Features Available on the App
The renowned social media from China, TikTok, has taken the internet by storm, and this is because the app revolutionized the way people experience these platforms. It is also an app where creators thrive, and many choose the platform to be their main channel to showcase their content as it fosters a massive experience for all, including its AI content labeling that does not shy away from the generated content.
Not all experiences on TikTok need a user to post videos or create content, as some could set up an e-commerce account where they can showcase their products for users to buy. The TikTok Shop was recently launched in the United States in September, where a yellow basket would appear on videos promoting the product, or visiting the dedicated tab to shop their needs.
Despite its massive issues and problems now, TikTok remains one of the strongest and most popular platforms in the tech industry, competing with tech giants including Meta and Google. TikTok also offers massive opportunities for creators, including those that focus on creating effects and filters on the platform, offering lower eligibility to be part of its program and enjoy its benefits.
