Tiktok will allow some creators to produce collections of longer videos and charge their audience a premium for access, opening a new channel of monetization for its users, the Chinese video-sharing app said Tuesday. Its new offering “Series” will allow eligible creators to put collections of up to 80 videos, each about 20 minutes long, behind a paywall. Currently, the allowed length of a video on Tiktok is up to 10 minutes. It is not clear whether Tiktok will take a cut from the creators. The company already offers its creators the ability to receive tips and gifts, as well as manages a fund to incentivize them to grow their audience.
