Top Platforms for Highest-Earning Content Creators 2023

In 2023, the top content creators overwhelmingly favor TikTok as their primary platform, commanding a substantial 40.27% of the total followers for the top 50 creators, amounting to an impressive 1.176 billion subscribers. YouTube closely follows behind, with 24.82% of the total followers (724.8M), while Instagram secures the third spot with 21.99% of the followers (642.2M).

Interestingly, despite Facebook’s prominence as a dominant social media platform, it doesn’t seem to be the go-to choice for these top creators, garnering only 4.56% of the total followers (133.3M). This suggests that content creators are not as inclined to choose Facebook for audience growth and monetization compared to other platforms.

X(Twitter) captures 4.06% of the total followers, amounting to 118.5M. While still a significant number, it indicates that Twitter might not be the primary platform for these high-earning content creators.

The data also showcases the emergence of Twitch as a rising star in the social media landscape, despite being a relatively new platform. Twitch captures 1.78% of the total followers (52.12M), suggesting a growing popularity among content creators, possibly due to its unique focus on live-streaming content, which has quickly become one of the most popular ways to experience content by consumers.
