  AI services (image generation, video generation, voice messages) are platform services. Fans pay for these directly. Creator earnings come from subscriptions, tips, and content unlocks.

## Referral rewards

Every user gets a unique referral code in the format `OV-{HEX}`. When someone signs up using your code:

* **No limit** on number of referrals
* Credited immediately when the referred user completes registration

See [Affiliate Program](/growth/affiliate-program) for details on sharing and tracking.

## Affiliate program

For creators and marketers who drive purchases:
