    Rebecca Chiyoko King-O’riainARTICLEContinuum2026References: 45

    Content creators of color on TikTok sit at the intersection of the growth in influence of the platform and its centrality to the global flows of racialized and gendered representations across the world. But how do content creators navigate between these two trends to monetize their content? I answer this by examining the experiences of a set of young Chinese and Filipino male TikTokers and analyze their use of four main strategies for monetizatio…
