Persistence Prevails
True Crime
The channel where the idea started. We tested the model on our own content first, proved it worked, and opened it to other creators.
We're not a label, an agency, or a startup running on venture capital. We're YouTubers who saw a gap in how Shorts revenue works — and built the infrastructure to close it.
Aeloria started behind the scenes at Persistence Prevails — a True Crime channel with over 700,000 subscribers. While scaling Shorts production, we realized something: every time a creator uses mainstream music in a Short, the Music Pool revenue from that video goes straight to major record labels.
Creators don't see a cent of it. They don't even know it exists.
We started producing our own music — tracks we own the master rights to, tailored specifically for Shorts. When our videos used those tracks, YouTube paid the Music Pool allocation directly to us. The numbers were significant. So we opened it up: why keep this to one channel when every Shorts creator has the same problem?
We're not trying to own your content, lock you into a multi-year agreement, or take a cut of your regular ad revenue. The Creator Pool — the money YouTube pays you directly — stays exactly the same.
Our model only touches the Music Pool: the bucket of money that gets paid to whoever owns the music used in a Short. Because we own our masters, YouTube pays us. We share that with you. That's the entire arrangement.
You start at a 50/50 split. As your viewership and consistency grow, you move to 65/35, then 80/20. The more value you bring to the network, the more you keep.
We only make money when your Shorts perform well. That means we have every reason to produce the best possible music for your niche, support your growth, and keep the partnership fair.
If you stop using the catalog, we stop earning from your videos. If your videos blow up, we both benefit. It's the kind of structure that only works when both sides are genuinely invested — and that's by design.
Every creator in the network was individually reviewed and approved. Here are a few you can look up yourself.
