Mecone publishes continuously-updating prices for assets that never had one: pre-IPO companies, GPU rental, city rent, inflation. Creators in the program make short videos about what those things are worth, and get paid for every one they post.

02 · The subject

Every price has a story

OpenAI does not trade on a public exchange. It still has a price, and that price moves when a model ships or a funding round leaks. The same is true of an hour of GPU time, a one-bedroom in San Francisco and next month’s inflation print. Creators in the program explain those moves to people who have never seen them priced.

03 · The work

Film, post, get paid

The program pays for videos people actually watch. Nothing that reads as an ad, and nothing that tells anyone what to trade.

01 · Film

Five videos a week

Post on TikTok, Reels, Shorts or X. Start a new account built around prices, or bring the one already running.

02 · Use the desk

Hooks, scripts, charts

The content desk holds tested hooks, scripts and chart clips exported from live benchmarks. Film from it, or use it as a starting point.

03 · Get paid

$25 per video, plus bonuses

Every approved video earns $25. Videos that travel earn view bonuses, up to $1,000 a month. Payouts run every two weeks.

Four formats from the desk

Format 01

Price check

Show something with no public price. Ask the viewer to guess. Reveal the benchmark.

Sample hook: OpenAI does not trade. It still had a price this morning.

Format 02

Why it moved

Take a benchmark that moved this week and explain the news behind the line.

Sample hook: An hour on an H100 got cheaper this month. Here is why.

Format 03

Street price

Ask strangers what something is worth, then show them the live number.

Sample hook: What do you think Anthropic is worth right now?

Format 04

Desk notes

A talking-head explainer on how something with no market gets a price at all.

Sample hook: San Francisco rent has a live price. Here is what it did this month.

04 · Support

A desk behind every creator

Weekly desk calls

A coach reviews the last five videos and picks the next five hooks with each creator.

A refreshed content desk

New hooks and chart exports every week, pulled from whatever moved in the benchmarks.

Room for a point of view

Skits, street interviews and faceless voiceovers all work. The desk sets the topic. The creator sets the style.

A private creator channel

Trade hooks, share what worked and ask the Mecone team questions directly.

05 · The rules

Five rules, every video

A benchmark is only useful if people trust it enough to trade against it. Every video in the program follows the same five rules, and the desk reviews each one before it counts toward pay.

01

Disclose every post

Use the platform paid-partnership label and #ad on every video, on every account, every time.

02

Explain prices, never trades

Say what a price did and why. Never tell a viewer to buy, sell, short or hedge anything.

03

No promised returns

No profit claims, no screenshots of gains and no math about what someone could have made.
