TikTok Creator Claims Ex-Employee Interference Led to Demonetization June 1st, 2025 - A TikTok creator, Taja Ashaka (@travelwithtaja), has publicly accused her ex-boyfriend, a TikTok employee, of sabotaging her monetization efforts. Ashaka claims her videos, which have garnered significant views, are repeatedly demonetized despite meeting TikTok's requirements. "I've tried everything," Ashaka stated in her video, "I made videos over 60 seconds long, but they still won't monetize. It's frustrating." Ashaka's videos often feature personal content and business promotions. Her claim raises questions about potential conflicts of interest within TikTok's monetization system and the challenges faced by independent creators. TikTok has yet to publicly respond to Ashaka's allegations. This incident highlights the ongoing debate about fairness and transparency in social media monetization, emphasizing the need for clear guidelines and robust appeal processes for creators.
