BuzzFeed launched a creator program that will award monetary compensation for creators depending on their page views.
The Summer Writers’ Challenge is paying up to $10,000 for community articles that go viral
Compensation ranges from $150 for articles with 150,000 views to $10,000 for those with over four million views.
These articles typically aren’t overseen by BuzzFeed editors and until now they hadn’t received any payments in return.
