Gamer-focused Tilted social app raises $1.3M to save TikTok’s creator economy


TikTok might be going away soon, but Tilted hopes to launch a gamer-focused social app on iOS to help save the creator economy in the U.S.

Designed to prioritize monetization, Tilted integrates ecommerce and social selling tools, enabling creators to earn passive income through affiliate marketing, ad revenue, and direct sales. The ban threatens to dismantle this ecosystem, disrupting the livelihoods of creators who depend on TikTok for revenue and leaving advertisers without a crucial avenue for reaching engaged audiences. Recent polling reveals that nearly 9% of Americans now earn income through social media platforms, leveraging affiliate marketing, ad revenue, and product sales to make ends meet.
