2023
The onboarding process for content creators on SubscribeStar differs notably from similar flows on other content monetization platforms. This advanced approach leads to a significantly lower rate of accounts subject to later reviews or restrictive measures. By applying enhanced due diligence during onboarding, we effectively prevent the publication of illegal or harmful content.
