Periscope\u2019s new Super Hearts tipping feature<\/a> that launched yesterday quickly sparked a backlash from the creators it was designed to help earn money.<\/p>\n

Broadcasters discovered that if they deleted the replay of one of their live videos before cashing out their tips at the end of the month, they\u2019d lose any tips received during the stream. That meant if a video was overly personal or sensitive, unflattering or a creator otherwise didn\u2019t want the replay on the internet, they\u2019d be forced to forfeit money they\u2019d earned. Twitter already takes a 30 percent cut of tips after the app store\u2019s tax and payment processing fees are removed.<\/p>\n

\"\"TechCrunch heard about the issue this morning and asked Twitter for an explanation of why it would need to delete people\u2019s tips if they deleted their replays. Initially a spokesperson merely replied that broadcasters can delete replays after they cash out their tips at the end of the month, and pointed to the broadcaster guidelines.<\/a><\/p>\n

But after the outrage from broadcasters snowballed, Periscope tweeted that it\u2019s working on a way for broadcasters to hide replays from the public without technically deleting them. Then Periscope followed up with me, noting that the rule against deletion was designed \u201cto ensure all content that\u2019s has been monetized complies with our community guidelines.\u201d It presumably wanted to avoid paying people for tips they earned through nudity or scams, but went too far.<\/p>\n

We hear that our community wants to be able to hide broadcasts without losing stars earned, and we\u2019re working on it. Stay tuned for updates!<\/p>\n

The situation proves how tricky it is to expand from an advertising business model with professional clients to sharing revenue with finicky independent content creators. One broadcaster told TechCrunch that Super Hearts tipping is \u201ca great first step, but realistically this is going to provide pocket change for broadcasters. This isn\u2019t going to be a monetization feature that will allow people to make big bucks, so I think they have to manage expectations with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In-app tipping for live streamers was pioneered and popularized in China, but recently American apps like YouTube and Twitch have adopted the trend. Apps that built creator monetization in from the start are thriving, with Live.me having paid out over $3.5 million to broadcasters in less than a year. Bolting on tipping years after launch means Periscope will have to alter ingrained user behavior and educate people about the confusing design<\/a> of its buy-virtual-coins-to-buy-hearts-to-send-hearts-that-are-converted-to-stars-that-are-redeemed-for-cash system.<\/p>\n

But if Periscope users can get the hang of it, parent company Twitter could adopt the system, too, to simultaneously attract higher-quality content, compensate creators and earn money for itself.<\/p>\n
