You're obviously right mathematically.
Both of the claims in my original comment are correct as stated:
* Roughly 20K active creators (VAL_A).
* An average monthly payout to creators of $5K (VAL_B).
HOWEVER, that does not mean that VAL_A * VAL_B = total monthly payout. The below details are relevant:
1. Not all active creators made money.
2. There was a payout minimum (well, a free payout minimum, which the majority of users waited to reach).
