“Zen” from August 1 will update the monetization system for authors. They will be paid for the time users spend on the content. Authors are now rewarded for active subscribers.
Zen will start paying authors for user participation, that is, for the time they spend on the content. The Zen press service spoke about the update of the monetization system from August 1.
The algorithms will estimate the viewing time of the compromised content. Viewing will not be counted when a user opens a post and immediately closes it. Also, if the author puts his video on autoplay to get more rewards, the system will also notice it and will not take watch time into account.
Before the innovations, Zen paid authors for active subscribers. The amount of remuneration depended on the number of new subscribers and the frequency of their interaction with the author’s channels.
Authors who are already connected before the end of 2023 will automatically switch to the new monetization system starting August 1.
