TikTok's Payment System Under Fire: Independent Journalist Accuses Platform of Unfair Compensation

Independent journalist Secret Service Sam is criticizing TikTok's payment system. He claims that despite millions of views on his videos covering the Diddy trial, he has received almost no compensation. "This is what independent journalism money looks like," Sam says in his video, showing a screen displaying zero dollars earned. His videos have garnered significant attention, with one video reaching 365.6K views and another at 387.1K views. Sam's frustration highlights the difficulties faced by independent journalists relying on social media platforms for income. He is now seeking alternative ways to fund his work and intends to launch his own platform.
