IMDb Adds 'Digital Creator' Label With Six Subcategories
IMDb is adding 'digital creator' as a new professional category, letting creators tag their profiles with a subcategory such as streamer, vlogger or gaming creator.
IMDb is adding 'digital creator' as its newest professional category, alongside the more than 40 other types of creative workers it already classifies. Once a profile carries the tag, the creator can pick a subcategory: streamer, vlogger, video essaying, video creator, gaming creator or influencer.
The site, which is entering its 36th year of activity, says the label lets artists 'represent the full scope of their work in one place.' IMDb has not said how the tag affects audience discovery, channel distribution or creator payouts.
Our reading
Our reading is that a credit on a mainstream database gives creators one more place to publish a consolidated profile, though IMDb has not tied the label to any change in monetisation or audience reach.
What to do or watch
If you're a digital creator with an IMDb profile, consider whether to add the new 'digital creator' tag and one of its six subcategories to consolidate your work there. Watch for any IMDb follow-up on how the label affects audience discovery, channel distribution or creator payouts, none of which the announcement specifies.
