Council members from Warrior up pick a signed Ares United creator at signup, and the org gifts that creator a sub every month in the member’s name. It is not sponsorship in exchange for a logo. It is the community paying creators directly, and the amounts published so anyone can check.
We could have filled this with logos of people who agreed to a Discord role. We would rather it stay honest and short. The first creators signed will have the entire Council choosing between a handful of names rather than dozens, and they will be the ones in the first transparency report with a number next to them.
If you stream and you are tired of a follower count being the only thing anyone counts, read the next two sections and then talk to us.
No exclusivity, no content quotas, no clause that says we own your channel. The deal is narrower and more honest than that.
Every Council member from Warrior up picks one creator. Their tier decides whether that is a Tier 1, 2 or 3 sub, and it lands every month for as long as they stay. Pick up ten members and that is ten subs a month you did not have to ask for.
Every payout is published by name and amount in the monthly report. That is a public, verifiable record of what an org actually paid you, which is worth something the next time you negotiate with anyone.
Council members have to choose someone. That makes our job pointing attention at you. You are the product the membership buys, so we are not going to bury you under an org logo.
If any of this is a dealbreaker, that is fine and worth finding out in the first conversation rather than the third.
A schedule people can actually find you on. We are not setting hours, but a Council member picking you should be able to watch you.
ARU in your name and the org in your panels. That is the extent of the branding ask.
Your payouts go in a public report with your handle on them. Nothing about how you behave should make that awkward for either of us.
Applications are open and answered personally, including the noes. There is no follower minimum, because a small audience that turns up is worth more to a Council member than a big one that does not.
