Summary
Policy page restructured under new section title "Follower Requirements by Creator Account Type." No substantive changes to existing affiliate or creator eligibility rules—all requirements remain unchanged from prior documentation.
Why it matters
This is presentation only. Creators and affiliates see reorganized language but face no new follower thresholds, restrictions, or behavioral requirements. Existing 1,000-follower and 5,000-follower minimums are restated, not altered.
Recommended action
No action required. Review change log for awareness of documentation restructuring. Verify your account type and follower tier against the restated requirements for planning purposes only.
