@kristinakleinugc: We as creators can’t sit by and watch platforms devalue our work. I am FURIOUS, I will not let this behavior from platforms become the norm. Please share so other creators know what is happening. Shane on you @JoinBrands #ugccreator #ugccommunity #ugc #creator #ugccontentcreator

Also ,I noticed on joinbrands, their business model feels SO shady. For many products, in order to do a UGC video for the brand you have to buy the product. Even though they're going to reimburse you after it's done, it feels shady, especially when the gig pays $10-$40. I just don't feel real comfortable with that particular business model.

So well said. Thank you! This is why I’ve been slow in pitching to brands and things like that. I don’t wanna be taken advantage of while I’m a beginner

We all need to start making content about platforms that advertise like this. They need to get canceled. I'm going to cancel mine. Let their creator pool dry up. That's the only way they'll learn.

Yeah. Joinbrand works for brands. I just got to know that you have to maintain 4plus stars for a year to get to level 2 and the picture with a product gigs do not count. Also all the good gigs are on pro and you have to pay $45/month for that. Even backstage membership is cheaper.

Thank you for making this video! I totally agree! Unfortunately, a lot of apps and ugc platforms are exploding creators, especially new creators and paying them so little while they know exactly how expensive it is to get a video made by an advertisement agency!!
