You pledge what you won't promote. Fans fund your independence. No brand deals that betray your community.
Platform revenue is basically zero. The only real money for creators comes from brand deals, but the brands with the biggest budgets carry the biggest risk.
You either take the deal and lose your community's trust, or keep your integrity and go broke.
That's not a choice. That's a trap.
A partnership with the wrong brand can cost creators more than just lost followers. Comment sections turn toxic, brand partnerships disappear, and a reputation that took years to build is destroyed overnight. One wrong deal can cost more than it ever paid.
On Sellout, your fans fund your ability to say no before it ever gets to that.
List the brands and categories you refuse to work with. This is your contract with your community.
“I was offered $10K/mo to promote a GLP-1. I said no. Help me keep creating.” Fans know exactly what they're funding.
Your community is watching. Break your pledge, and fans get back what they donated for the month the pledge was broken.
No subscription. No tiers. No cap. We cover card processing, and we only make money when you do.

Sellout gives creators a direct financial reward for the thing they were already doing for free: saying no to brand deals that betray their community. Instead of silently turning down thousands of dollars, creators can now make a public pledge, set a goal, and let their fans fund their independence. You keep creating the content your audience loves, maintain the trust you've built, and get paid to do it without compromising your values.
One number: Sellout takes 10% of what you raise. There's no monthly subscription, no tiers, and no cap on how much you can raise. That 10% also covers card processing. Most platforms charge their percentage and then pass Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢ on to you on top. For fans, Sellout is always free; you only pay the amount you choose to give.
Absolutely! There's no cost to start and no minimum to raise. If nobody pledges, you owe nothing. Whether you have 500 followers or 5 million, the pledge is what matters, not the follower count.
If a creator breaks their pledge, active supporters can report it with evidence. Once a threshold of reports is reached, Sellout reviews the content against the signed pledge and gives the creator a chance to respond. If the violation is confirmed, fans automatically get back what they donated for the month the pledge was broken. Fans can keep the refund or redirect their support to another creator.
Hot take? There's no harm in having both! Patreon is for fandoms: exclusive content, early access, and direct connection to your fans. Sellout is a social contract: creators list their values, and fans fund their independence. Patreon asks fans to support creators, while Sellout asks creators to stay publicly accountable to their values in exchange for their fans' financial support.
