The information was released through the [Byte Partner Program](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/technical-creator), which outlines payment details for creators who could bring in a large number of viewers. The Partner Program dictates that creators will be paid every 120 days in four 30 day payments. A creator's payment will be dependant on how many viewers they have during each time period. Creators will also have the ability to move up a ‘Viewership Bracket’ in order to be able to access a larger percentage of the ad revenue.
