In an attempt to support its creators in the growth of the channel and to give them a way to earn thanks to live streaming, YouTube has started testing a new feature, similar to the already seen Super Chat, that is Super Thanks .
In detail, with the first function users can demonstrate support for the creators by making them a donation, an action that translates into highlighting your comment in the live chat. Super Thanks for its part is based on a similar principle . The substantial difference concerns the type of content, which does not necessarily have to be a live streaming, but also a any video uploaded to the channel .
After the YouTuber has enabled monetization, it will be possible to select one of the four price bands available, from $ 2 to $ 50 (the price varies depending on the market) , and thus make the donation. Once successful, all fans will see an animated GIF with balloons appear in the video, accompanied by the comment of the user who is the protagonist of the “tip” and the amount of money sent, similar to what is generally seen on Twitch.
Super Thanks is still in beta , but is currently available to thousands of creators in 68 countries, but YouTube is planning to release it. to all Partner Program participants by the end of the year .
