Own your content.
Earn from every view.
Build a network that pays you while you sleep.
Ritestream is opening its doors to independent filmmakers first. No rights grab. No platform tax. Just you, your audience, and your ad revenue.
No wallet needed to apply. No commitment until you upload.
How It Works
Three steps. No catch. No rights grab.
Upload
Submit your film, short, or documentary. We review and approve within 48 hours. You keep 100% of your rights — always.
Earn
Every ad served against your content generates revenue. You keep the lion's share — always. Earnings hit your balance instantly and are withdrawable right away. No hidden fees, no platform tax, no waiting.
Refer
Get your personal referral code once approved. Every filmmaker you bring earns you 5% of their ad revenue. Forever.
The Referral Engine
You earn from your content and from every filmmaker you bring in.
The Commission Structure
Clear numbers. No fine print.
| What | Rate |
|---|---|
Your ad revenue share % of all ads served on your content | 70% |
Referral earnings % of your referred filmmaker's ad earnings | 5% |
Payout No waiting periods, no net-30 | Instant |
Referral depth Single level — no MLM games | 1 level |
Referral code issued | After first approved content goes live |
The Rules — Straight Up
No legalese. Here's how it works.
You must own 100% of the rights to everything you upload. No exceptions.
Referral earnings are active as long as you have at least one approved, live piece of content on the platform.
Content removed = referrals paused. If your content is taken down — copyright claim, your own choice, policy violation — your referral earnings stop immediately.
Put it back, earnings resume. Reinstate approved content and your referral earnings pick back up.
Copyright strikes are permanent. If your content is removed via a copyright takedown, you permanently lose referral status for that content. Upload something you actually own.
