\n\tWhether it\u2019s friends and family sharing their lives with one another, communities creating closer bonds, or creators finding broader audiences, Facebook has always brought people together. Typically, these connections happen through our devices, but on September 17 at the Flower Shop in New York City, the social platform partnered with Rolling Stone<\/em> to gather some of the biggest names in digital content\u2014such as Tefi Pessoa, Tineke Younger, and Jen Hamilton\u2014for an evening of IRL mingling, music, and cocktails. Topping off the event was a moderated conversation with actor\/comedians Chantelle (better known as Chan) and Jamal Morant, a real-life couple who regularly release comedy sketches about married and family life to their 4.8 million Facebook followers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking with Rolling Stone editor Elisabeth Garber-Paul, Chan and Jamal gave direct insight into the important role that Facebook plays in helping them connect to new followers and their devoted fans alike, all while allowing them to monetize their comedy. Chan and Jamal are part of the Facebook Creator Monetization program which pays creators for Reels, Stories photo and text posts.\u00a0 In 2025, Facebook paid nearly $3 billion to content creators, and now those earnings are more accessible than ever through Creator Fast Track<\/a> which provides guaranteed payouts to creators getting started on Facebook.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s very lucrative,\u201d says Jamal. \u201cWe probably generated, since the last quarter, close to, or probably over $1 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe money provides the couple with the rare opportunity to do what they love full time and connect with people all over the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tConsidering how easy it is for content to get lost on other platforms, Chan observes that on Facebook, \u201cThe people who follow us get to see every single video that we post. You\u2019re going to see it, you\u2019re not going to miss it. That\u2019s why I love [it]. It keeps people engaged, we get direct feedback, and it\u2019s always on time. People don\u2019t get lost and never see you again. People are engaged with your story and get to keep up with you. I love that the most.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTheir Facebook followers\u2014the number of which seemingly exploded overnight after the pair released the first sketch in their now-iconic hoodie-stealing series<\/a>\u2014\u201dhave been amazing, honestly,\u201d says Jamal, adding, \u201cI feel like it\u2019s the platform we connect with the most. We are millennials, and a lot of our audience and fan base are millennials who relate to what we\u2019re going through, because we talk about and make videos about authentic stuff, things that happen in our relationship, it really just connects and resonates with the people we create content for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe couple, who share a daughter named Soleil, are in the process of creating a mockumentary series described by Chan as \u201cModern Family, but with us.\u201d They continue to produce and put out sketches on Facebook, each new Reel inspiring hundreds of shares and thousands of comments. It\u2019s this devotion, creativity, and, of course, their hilarious point-of-view that has landed them on Rolling Stone\u2019s 2026 Top 25 Creators list, along with Pessoa, Younger, and Hamilon, as well as other big names across social media.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf making the list, Jamal says, \u201cI was like, \u2018Wait, Rolling Stone<\/em>? Us? This is awesome!\u2019 We were really, really happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tChan agrees, remarking, \u201cHonestly, we\u2019re truly so honored. The list, the people on the list, I\u2019m a big fan of everybody\u2026To be able to be a part of that is so dope.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for their night at the Flower Shop, they were mostly excited to let loose and connect with other creators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTonight is lit,\u201d says Jamal. \u201c\u2026It\u2019s kind of cool to link up with people from the list and just create in general, because this is what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
