Hey {{first name | friend}},

Short one this week — but both items are worth a look.

If you're in Las Vegas this Saturday for EDC weekend, we have something special lined up. And if you want to know what the smartest people in the Creator economy are saying about where AdSense revenue is heading, Scott Kitun just got back from the room where that conversation happened.

Let's get into it. 👇

INVITE-ONLY — THIS SATURDAY, MAY 16

GigaStar × SpeedVegas: Creator Track Day Social

GigaStar is bringing an exclusive group of top Creators to SpeedVegas this Saturday, May 16, at 1:45 pm PT — right in the middle of EDC weekend. Think world-class supercars, drift ride-alongs in a police-wrapped drift car, priority track access with no waiting around, and optional go-kart racing as an add-on.

This is an apply-to-ride experience — not a public RSVP. Click the link to request your spot. Approved Creators will receive confirmation and final event details directly.

What the Creator Economy's Biggest Room Just Told Us About the Future of AdSense Revenue

The Scalable Summit drew more than 400 attendees — nearly double the expected turnout. GigaStar's own Scott Kitun was in the room, and he came back with a clear read on where things are heading.

A few of the sharpest signals from the event: Creator ad spending is projected to hit $44 billion in 2026, up from roughly $900 million a decade ago. Visa's CMO said the company doubled its Creator investment last year and plans to double it again. And one of the most important moments came from Agentio's CEO, who noted plainly that platforms are now structurally incentivized to suppress organic sponsored content, which makes AdSense revenue, YouTube's direct Creator payout, the most durable layer of Creator income there is.

That's the GigaStar thesis, validated on the main stage.
