Every algorithm, every revenue split, every decision — explained openly. No black boxes. No hidden agendas.
Transparent splits, not hidden takes
Unlike platforms that keep 45-55% of revenue, Prism Writing operates on a transparent 70/30 split — 70% goes directly to creators, 30% sustains the platform.
* Prism adds quality multipliers, floor guarantees, and creator boost on top of the 70% base
Distributed proportionally based on engagement quality — not just clicks. Deep reads, completion rates, and meaningful interaction matter more than viral tricks.
Covers hosting, fact-checking infrastructure, moderation, development, floor guarantee subsidies, and keeping the platform ad-light and reader-focused.
Rewarding depth, accuracy, and trust
We don't just count views. Revenue distribution is weighted by quality signals that reward depth, accuracy, and trust.
Content with sources earns more. +0.1x per cited source, up to 2.0x at 10+ citations.
Longer, more thorough pieces earn a depth bonus. Maximum multiplier at 1,000+ words.
Fact-checked and verified content receives a 20% earnings boost.
Completion rate (40%), view duration (30%), and scroll depth (30%) — not just clicks.
Combined multiplier = Citation x Depth x Verification x Engagement
A well-sourced, thorough, verified article can earn up to 3.6x more than a low-effort piece with the same views.
Amplifying new and emerging voices
On most platforms, established voices drown out emerging ones. Our discovery algorithm actively amplifies new and smaller creators.
This means a brand-new creator writing quality content gets twice the discovery visibility of an established account — ensuring the best ideas surface, not just the loudest voices.
Living wages tied to local cost of living
We believe creators deserve a living wage regardless of where they live. Our floor guarantee system ensures minimum monthly earnings tied to local cost of living.
How it works: If a creator's algorithmic earnings fall below their regional floor, the platform subsidizes the difference from the 30% platform share. Active creators with published content in the period always receive at least their floor amount.
Transparent trust signals on every piece
Every piece of content goes through our quality assessment system. Verification status is always visible to readers — never hidden.
All major claims fact-checked and confirmed with reliable sources. Sources linked and accessible.
Claims reviewed and cross-referenced. Minor claims may remain unverified but core arguments are sound.
Content is queued for verification. Published but not yet independently checked.
One or more claims have been challenged or found inaccurate. Correction notice displayed prominently.
Quality-first content surfacing
Our discovery feed doesn't optimize for rage-clicks or time-on-platform. It surfaces content that informs, challenges, and respects your time.
This page isn't just a one-time explanation — it's a living document. As our algorithms evolve, this page evolves with them. Any changes to revenue splits, quality multipliers, or discovery weights will be announced and explained here before they take effect.
