[ SLANG ][ CREATOR ECONOMY ][ ATTENTION ECONOMY ]
A creator whose value to brands is measured primarily by Gross Merchandise Value — the total dollar amount of sales their content drives — rather than by views or follower count.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Brands don't care about her follower count anymore, she's just a proven GMV creator."
LORE & ORIGIN
Term that spread as TikTok Shop and similar platforms shifted creator-brand negotiations toward GMV as the primary performance metric, over older vanity metrics like views.
