Abstract

The metaverse platform has been gaining popularity since the pandemic. It facilitates non-face-to-face interaction among creators, users, advertisers, various forms of organizations, and itself. Such interaction has brought light to the new forms of economy, which is called the "creator economy." By providing the virtual space, easy tools, and methods, the platform allows the creators to produce value for the users in the forms of virtual items, content, and experiences. At the same time, it provides audiences to the organizations that need attention. In the course, the platform and the creators generate revenue. Among the diverse revenue sources, this study focuses on revenue generated from advertising and studies how the revenue sharing between the platform and the creator is affected by the abilities of the metaverse platform. With an analysis of the analytical model, we show that if the platform has the ability to reduce advertising avoidance, it can reduce the revenue share of the creator without discouraging the creator from making the proper effort in content creation. Also, as the platform provides effective tools and methods for quality content creation, it can reduce the revenue share of the creator without damaging the creator's required motivation. The ability of the platform in increasing advertising effectiveness helps it to reduce the revenue share of the creator as well.

코로나19 팬데믹으로 촉발된 메타버스 시장은 현재 가파른 성장세를 보여주고 있다. 메타버스 플랫폼은 컨텐츠를 생산, 소비하는 크리에이터와 사용자 그리고 플랫폼에 조성된 청중을 광고 대상으로 하는 광고주를 연결시키고 있다. 이들 플랫폼 참여자간의 상호작용은 새로운 형태의 경제인 크리에이터 경제의 부상을 가져왔다. 본 논문은 크리에이터와 메타버스 플랫폼의 다양한 수익원 중 광고 수익을 중심으로 플랫폼의 특성이 플랫폼과 크리에이터 간의 수익률 배분에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 게임 이론 기반 분석 모델을 통해 본 연구는 메타버스 플랫폼이 광고 회피를 감소시킬수록, 광고의 효과성을 높일수록, 그리고 효과적인 컨텐츠 제작 툴을 제공할수록 크리에이터의 수익 배분율을 낮출 수 있음을 보여주었다.
