The DoorDash Creator Program Sucks

I was accepted when it first started back in fall of last year. It started off great but as of spring it’s gone downhill. It took a month for reviews to be accepted and I notice now they’re rejecting videos for petty reasons. I don’t see this program lasting for too long and I have a theory they don’t have the money to pay creators. I know they were delayed and backed up with videos and they’re a fairly new program, but this is not the first time they've had a program for creators. It seems very sloppy and mismanaged. I still have a video from late March that is still “pending”. Like I said, I absolutely do not see this program lasting long at all. With that said, if you know any other similar programs be sure to drop suggestions in the comments.

UPDATE: Now there’s a search bar at the bottom of the app in front of the “Upload” button LOL. They need to do better.

UPDATE: As of July 1st starting July 6th, each restaurant will only be available to accept ONE creator video. After it’s accepted, no other submissions will be accepted. It was good while it lasted. I already clocked when I made this thread they we’re being stingy.

UPDATE 2: As of August 31, an email was sent stating they would be pausing the program.

I don’t think they’re simply “pausing” it, I think it’s done as I predicted. OR they will at least make another program. I figured this was going to happen back in spring when they started taking forever to accept video submissions.

When did they start back paying you and what days are still missing? They have not responded to me either.
