# Bounty_OS

> Bounty_OS is a pay-per-view influencer marketing platform bringing product placement to the creator economy. Brands launch campaigns in minutes; creators earn by naturally featuring products in content they are already making on TikTok and Instagram. It replaces scripted UGC ads with authentic product placement, paid per verified view.

Tagline: The best ads don't look like ads. Based in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded 2025.

## How it works, in one paragraph

Brands create a campaign and set a payout rate per 1,000,000 views. Creators browse the campaign
directory, join a campaign, and post content that naturally features the product, including the
campaign hashtag. Bounty_OS automatically finds the post, tracks views, and pays out. Every 100,000
views is one "block"; creators earn on complete blocks. Creators pay nothing, ever, and there is no
follower minimum — payment is for views, not audience size.

more crowded categories:

- Clipping: re-editing existing long-form content into short clips. Players include Vyro and Spade.
