01
2025 Future Flashbacks

A look back at #paid’s biggest predictions for the creator economy: creators becoming the new media, powering discovery, and driving commerce, and how many of those shifts have already come to life faster than expected.
02
2026 Low Hanging Fruit

The momentum is already here: creators are showing up on every screen, platforms are blending together, direct-to-fan monetization is taking off, and niche and nano creators are gaining real influence. These are the trends brands can tap into today.
03
2026 Predictions

A forward view of the six major shifts #paid sees shaping the future, from global creators and IRL experiences to the split between synthetic and deeply human content, the next wave of creator commerce, machine-influenced trends, and AI creator companions redefining fandom.
