YouTube's 'Super Thanks': How to support creators on Android
What's the story
YouTube recently introduced a new feature called Super Thanks, enabling viewers to monetarily support their favorite creators directly on the platform.
This ultimate guide will show you how to use Super Thanks on your Android device.
By following a few simple steps, you can contribute to the success and growth of your favorite creators, helping them continue creating content that inspires, educates, and entertains.
Setup and purchase
Enabling and using Super Thanks
Notably, not all creators are eligible to receive Super Thanks; they need to be a part of the YouTube Partner Program.
To donate, open YouTube on an Android device, select an eligible video, and tap the heart with a dollar sign.
Select an amount ($2, $5, $10, or $50), and confirm your payment.
A special animation will appear, and you can leave a colorful comment for the creator to see.
Interaction after support
Engaging with creators post-purchase
After you show appreciation to a creator with Super Thanks, they now have the ability to respond with a short video comment. This enables more personal interaction and further cultivates the creator-community bond.
Just keep checking the comments section of the video where you used Super Thanks, and you may find a video response!
