Passionfruit is a news site, multimedia brand, and community space for creator labor issues. In an industry estimated to be worth half a trillion dollars by 2027, the majority will go to platforms, distributors, brands, and other corporate interests that rely on creators to produce an endless stream of new content. We are dedicated to advocating for the rights and fair treatment of online content creators, provide resources, news, and advocacy. Every worker in this space deserves Sustainability, Accountability, Equity, and Transparency: a SEAT at the table of the creator economy.
