This might be a hot take but carousel posts aren’t necessarily easier than videos.

A sale is a sale. If they’re making the same money from our content we should be getting the same commission

Honestly I can understand this. I feel videos are more work and more valuable to a company.

It might be because carousels are so simple to create—you could probably churn out hundreds of them each day, whereas making high-quality videos takes more time and effort. That’s just my take, but feel free to think about it for yourself.

I do honestly feel people don’t like the pictures because they can do that easily as a company… they want you to make videos idk maybe that’s just my take on it

I mean, I’m not an expert, but my guess would be. It’s a lot less work to do a photo carousel than it is a video.

I wondered the same thing esp since carousel photos take longer for me to post than videos.

And worse is when showcase and affiliate links are lower because those are harder and more rare to get!

it doesn’t make sense. It would make more sense to reduce commission on AI videos… 😕

Not certain about the US but this has happened in the UK too, basically sellers can now set a separate rate for photo posts and TikTok has automatically set it for them at 30% of the video rate. Sellers can change this and many will but most of them don’t yet know how or are even aware that this has happened. Some said they can’t even find the setting to change it. This rate doesn’t affect tiered commission or commission boost though, and any previous photo posts done before this change won’t be affected.

I’m assuming because it’s easier to create. Just snapping pictures is lower effort. Not entirely sure though. 🤷🏼♀️
