The new way to earn money on YouTube is 'Super Thanks' (YouTube Update) 

YouTube has introduced the "Super Thanks" feature for all eligible creators who are involved in the YouTube Partner Program. This feature was recently announced to be enhanced. This feature allows viewers to tip or pay creators for videos.

As a result, millions of creators from 7 countries are going to have access to this new monetization feature. The AU feature was usable for some random creators before extending access to this feature. From now on, all eligible creators will be able to launch the "Super Thanks" feature using YouTube Studio.

Using this feature, viewers can pay up to four fixed amounts as a tip for creators' videos as part of a compliment, ranging from  2 to 50. Viewers will also be able to customize their Super Thanks comments, whereas previously the Super Thanks message was only "Thanks" by default. The convenience of customizing Super Thanks messages will create a meaningful relationship between the viewer and the creator.

After sending a viewer super thanks, you will see animated GIF in the channel's video and you can send comments by highlighting the super thanks. Again, a creator can give a heart or like reaction to the comment of this super thanks.

"Every day, YouTube creators help me learn and acquire something new - be it baking at Pandemic or fixing my bike last week. How about a special thank you to your favorite creator or a compliment to a specific video that has taught or helped you learn something new? From now on, this facility will be available through Super Thanks. ” - Samantha Stevens, product manager of YouTube's Paid Digital Goods, said in a statement.

Super Thanks is one of the "Paid Digital Goods" feature of YouTube. Basically the ways in which fans can pay the creators directly are considered to be included in this platform. There is also a Super Chat Monetization feature, which allows creators to earn money from livestream. There is also a feature called Super Stickers to show support and connect with the creators of your choice.

Twitch's monetization features are quite advanced, making it possible for creators like Twitch to make direct payments to other video platforms. Thanks to this super thanks feature, YouTube will seem to be a much more distinct platform than Twitch. In addition to the livestream, this feature can be used to give money or gifts in appreciation of the work of creators in separate videos, which is a great addition.

Even on Instagram, creators can send payments during the livestream through the "Badges" feature. However, even on Instagram, there is no option of any kind of payment in ordinary post or reels video. Interestingly, Tumblr has a monetization feature that allows users to make one-time payments to posts.

According to YouTube, they want to diversify the source of revenue for creators by providing new sources of income. This means that more new types of monetization tools are likely to appear on YouTube in the future.
