Meta relaunches the offensive on ground that it has gradually lost, that of the creators. With his program Creator Fast Trackthe group offers guaranteed payments and additional visibility to encourage the most visible profiles on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram to publish on Facebook. Despite its three billion users, the platform struggles to attract creators, who prefer YouTube and TikTok
Creators with at least 100,000 subscribers are eligible for monthly compensation of $1,000, increased to $3,000 for those with over a million subscribers. This guarantee, limited to three months, is accompanied by a lasting strengthening of the reach of content published on Facebook. In return, participants must publish a minimum of fifteen Reels over a period of thirty days, with no requirement for exclusivity.
What Meta seeks to reactivate is a flow of native content capable of returning Facebook to a place in creators’ publishing routines. The challenge is not so much to attract profiles from time to time as to reinstall the platform in their distribution process.
TikTok and YouTube have captured most of the creative momentum. The first dominates algorithmic discovery logic, the second offers more readable monetization, particularly on long formats. Facebook, despite its user base, has gradually found itself relegated to a peripheral role, used more as a simple relay than as a main platform.

This choice is part of a broader transformation of the monetization model. Meta has gradually abandoned a logic of revenue sharing in favor of a system based on commitment. Creators can now generate revenue through multiple channels (subscriptions, donations, partnerships, or internal programs).
In 2025, Meta says it will have paid nearly $3 billion to creators, up 35% year-on-year. A majority of these amounts concern Reels, confirming the strategic alignment with short formats.
There remains the question of sustainability, because financial incentives, by nature temporary, encourage opportunistic behavior. Meta’s ability to transform this experimentation phase into lasting adoption raises questions. Competition between platforms is no longer limited to audience capture, but extends to providing a favorable framework for content creators.
