Allegations claimed a dark money group paid influencers up to $8,000 monthly and required secrecy and content restrictions. Chorus denies those claims and describes itself as a nonprofit scholarship and incubator program that offers workshops and technical training to help creators grow accounts, foster engagement, launch shows, and become profitable. Chorus asserts it does not pay creators for content, dictate messaging, control collaborations, or include contractual speech restrictions. The initiative aims to build a pro-democracy creator ecosystem and to help left-leaning creators catch up with established conservative creator strategies.
The article is about Chorus, which is a nonprofit that I helped found to build up a creator ecosystem, which everybody says they want, but fewer are doing. So here's what Chorus is. It is a scholarship program to teach creators how to grow their accounts, foster engagement, launch their own shows, and become profitable on their own. It's an incubator program to build the pro-democracy ecosystem.
Chorus does not pay creators for content, does not tell them what to say, it does not control who they talk to or work with, and there is absolutely nothing in the contract that could even be reasonably interpreted to say that we do. Period. Full stop. I don't know a single creator who would willfully sign up for a program that would tell them what they can or can't say. That's not what this program is.
