YouTube’s revenue-generating tool, Super Thanks, which allows creators to make money directly from viewers, is now available to all eligible channels.
After a successful test period, Super Thanks is distributed to all creators in the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).
Formerly known as “Viewer Applause”, Super Thanks is a way for viewers to support you and your content.
As a creator, it allows you to earn even more revenue from videos, and you can activate it with just one click.
Viewers can purchase Super Acknowledgments on a video page as a way to show support and appreciation.
Think of it as a donation or advice on creating great content.
In return, viewers will be able to post a color message that stands out in the comments section.
