Creator Economy Buzz: Major Platform Updates, New Monetization Tools & Big Partnerships (July 30–31, 2025)
On July 30, 2025, YouTube relaxed monetization rules for profanity, allowing ads if strong language appears only in the first ~7 seconds (instead of demonetizing content for mild swearing in the first 8–15 seconds). TikTok introduced Creator Care Mode, an AI-driven one-click tool that filters offensive or spammy comments according to a creator’s preferences. TikTok added a bulk comment muting tool for Live streams to mute words, phrases, or emojis and auto-mute repeat offenders. TikTok launched Creator Inbox, a dedicated messaging hub with Unread and Starred folders and quick-reply templates. TikTok rolled out Creator Chat Rooms for invite-only group discussions
