How the two platforms stack up for wellness creators
YouTube's scale is unmatched. This is the honest split — where a creator-first platform can help wellness creators most.
Four things wellness creators come to LYKSTAGE for
Earn from the first view
LYKSTAGE's patented watch-time monetization model pays creators from the very first view — no subscriber or watch-hour threshold to clear before your wellness content starts working for you.
Your viewers are rewarded too
Logged-in viewers earn rewards for monetized watch time — viewing that's uninterrupted with the skippable ad watched in full. An audience that's genuinely invested in watching is an audience that keeps coming back to you.
Room to be discovered
LYKSTAGE is creator-first, so emerging wellness creators have room to be seen instead of competing against the entire internet from day one. Strong videos are surfaced by the time people genuinely spend watching.
A real home for your channel
Your wellness videos live on your own channel and reach viewers across mobile, web, and 6 Connected TV platforms — including LG TV — a dedicated big-screen home for your work.

How is LYKSTAGE different from YouTube for health and wellness creators?
YouTube is a large, established video platform where discovery is highly competitive. LYKSTAGE is creator-first, built on a patented watch-time monetization model: creators earn from the very first view, logged-in viewers are rewarded for monetized watch time, and quality wellness videos have room to be discovered across mobile, web, and Connected TV.
How do creators earn on LYKSTAGE?
Creators earn from the very first view under LYKSTAGE's watch-time monetization model — there's no subscriber or watch-hour threshold to clear first. Watch time becomes monetized when a video is viewed uninterrupted and its skippable ad is watched in full, which is how the platform recognises genuine engagement.
Do my viewers really earn rewards for watching?
Yes — logged-in viewers earn rewards for monetized watch time. Ads on LYKSTAGE are skippable; when a viewer chooses to watch one in full alongside your content, that genuine engagement is rewarded for them and monetized for you.
Do I need a big following to grow on LYKSTAGE?
No. There's no subscriber threshold to start being recognised — or to start earning. Upload consistently and let genuine watch time bring your wellness content to new viewers.
Can people watch my wellness videos on a TV with LYKSTAGE?
Yes. LYKSTAGE is available on 8 device types — iOS, Android, web, Apple TV, Roku, Android/Google TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and Amazon Fire TV — so your videos can play on the big screen, not just a phone.
Can I use LYKSTAGE alongside YouTube?
Yes. Many creators publish on both — YouTube for its scale, and LYKSTAGE for creator-first discovery and a watch-time model that pays from the first view.
Is it free to start a health and wellness channel on LYKSTAGE?
Yes. Starting your channel on LYKSTAGE is free, with 10 GB of storage included. You can create your channel, upload your content, and begin building an audience — and earning from your first view — at no cost.
