Support creators who publicly pledge what they won't promote. Get your money back if they break their word.
Views no longer pay what they used to, so most creators are reliant on brand deals to pay their rent. The problem is that the brands with the biggest budgets carry the biggest risk, and having an opinion isn't ‘brand safe’.
Creators either take the deal and lose their community's trust, or keep their integrity and go broke.
Sellout lets you support creators sticking to their values.
They publicly list the brands and categories they refuse to promote, right on their Sellout page.
Support them monthly so they can keep saying no to bad deals. Fans never pay a platform fee.
Lifestyle & wellness creator. I talk about the stuff brands don't want me to.
If a creator breaks their pledge, fans get back what they donated for the month the pledge was broken.
Brand deals can't be hidden. Whether it's in a video, a link or a hashtag, you can see what a creator endorses. If they break their pledge, there are real consequences.
A threshold of reports triggers a formal review. Only active supporters can report, which protects creators from bad-faith attacks.
We compare the content to the signed pledge. The creator gets a chance to respond before any action is taken.
If a violation is confirmed, fans automatically get back what they donated for the month the pledge was broken.
Keep the refund, or redirect your support to another creator you trust. Your money stays in the movement.
Are you a creator? Pricing, payouts and pledges are covered on the creators page.
Have you ever wondered if your favorite creator aligns with your values? Not only do you get those answers on Sellout, but your support helps fund creators' integrity. And unlike that expensive merch you can't return if a creator sells out, if a creator breaks their pledge, you get your money back.
No. Sellout is always free for fans. You only pay the amount you choose to give, and there's never a platform fee on top.
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. You can keep the refund or redirect your support to another creator.
The pledge creators make is a social contract. Breaking it means losing not only financial support, but also the trust of their community. And because brand deals are inherently public, violations are easy to report. Social media, not Sellout, is the watchdog.
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.
