Creators are Cashing in on a “Facebook Renaissance”

Facebook’s new content monetization program is booming, and Indonesian creators are leading the charge, giving the platform a much-needed boost to compete with YouTube and TikTok. The program has grown from under 3 million to 12 million participants in just over a year. Accounts in Bahasa Indonesia made up nearly 15% of the platform’s total monetized accounts in January 2026, forming the largest group of non-English content on the platform.
