FreshCut has hit two million visitors in five months for its short-form video platform that specializes in gaming content and communities. By the end of Q2, the platform reached 910,000 monthly active users (MAUs)

It has also drawn 130,000 content creators to the platform. The company said this growth highlights the platform’s straightforward yet effective value proposition of providing a unified space for short-form content catering to the next generation of gaming enthusiasts, creators, and communities.

FreshCut wants to disrupt the $100 billion social media ad market on behalf of gaming content creators. To date, the platform has invested over $1 million in creators through its FreshCut Community Fund. The aim is to establish a fair and sustainable business model that shares advertising revenues with creators, a practice that most social media platforms do not currently implement.

The current revenue split for creators on tips is 90% to creators, 10% to FreshCut. To date, FreshCut reinvests the majority of its 10% into the Community via Community Fund,” James Kuk, CEO and cofounder of FreshCut, told GamesBeat.
