This year, Snap finally caught user-generated content fever: In 2021, the company has paid out more than $250 million to more than 12,000 creators through its Snapchat Spotlight programs. Of course, Snap’s total payout is tiny compared with YouTube, the 800-pound gorilla in the digital creator economy: According to YouTube, over the three-year period from 2018-20, it paid more than $30 billion to creators, artists and media companies. And Snap actually dialed back its payouts for Spotlight. When it first launched the TikTok-style video feature in November 2020, the company said it would shell out upwards of $1 million per day in total among Spotlight contributors with top-performing videos. If it had kept up that pace, Snap would have paid, well, $365 million or more to creators in 2021. According to Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, the company reduced overall Spotlight payments to discourage people from creating viral, one-off copycat videos. Snap has yet to prove it can turn Spotlight into a meaningful business. But the company’s investment in the platform shows it is committed to help creators of all kinds meaningfully grow their audiences and build a business, said Sam Corrao Clanon, director of content who leads the Snapchat Spotlight…

Published December 13, 2021 11:11AM article LAKELAND, Fla. - Deputies in Polk County say a Snapchat video eventually led them to arrest a Lakeland High School substitute teacher for having a sexual relationship with a student. According to the sheriff’s office, an LHS student approached Lakeland police earlier this month about a Snapchat video showing 20-year-old Ayanna Davis having sex with a student. The video had supposedly been shown to a large group of LHS football players. For jurisdictional reasons, LPD turned the investigation over to the sheriff’s office. When their detectives interviewed Davis, she allegedly admitted that she’d had sex with the student on four occasions – twice at his house, and twice at her house.  The boy was under 17, according to deputies. Detectives say his account matched what Davis told them. Davis is now charged with several counts of sexual battery. She was being held Monday on $60,000 bond. "This is a clear violation of sexual battery laws. She was in a position of influence over the victim, and she took advantage of that for her own twisted pleasure," Sheriff Grady Judd said in a release about the arrest. Deputies noted that Davis was not a Polk County…
