How It Works
LYKSTAGE is more than an ad revenue-based site. It’s an online video hosting and sharing platform where both creators and viewers earn from day one.
Logged-in viewers earn LYK Coins only when watching ad-supported videos for at least 30 uninterrupted seconds. Watch time is monetized only if the user is actively engaged with the content alongside the ad, without skipping. Simply viewing an ad does not generate rewards — monetization occurs only when the viewer consumes the content as intended.
Creators earn revenue only when ads are served on their uploaded content and fully viewed by engaged viewers. The number of views a creator’s content attracts influences ad insertions, which in turn determines the share of ad revenue earned. A creator’s earnings may vary across different videos, depending on the actual traction and ad engagement each piece of content generates.

Democratizing Content Creation and Viewership.
LYKSTAGE is not just another video-sharing platform but a truly user-generated video sharing community where creators and viewers are given equal opportunities from the very beginning. Creators can earn from their very first upload—whether through ad-supported videos or via the pay-per-view format—giving them multiple ways to monetize their content. Ad revenue is based solely on real ad impressions served and genuine viewer engagement, with no follower counts or minimum thresholds required.
At the same time, logged-in viewers are rewarded only when their watch time is monetized. A watch time unit is monetized when users are actively engaged with the content and fully watch the ads served. If ads are skipped, the watch time does not qualify for monetization.
By ensuring that rewards are tied only to authentic engagement with both content and ads, LYKSTAGE transforms every moment of viewing into shared value—making it one of the best free video-sharing platforms and a truly democratized content-sharing ecosystem.
