YouTube has launched a new feature called Super Thanks, which allows video creates to earn money. Fans can purchase Super Thanks at four price points, from $2 to $50, as a way to express gratitude and support their favourite YouTube channels, the company said in a statement. After purchase on a video page, a highlighted comment will appear in the comment section, allowing the creator to respond to the fan's gift with a comment.

The feature is available to thousands of creators in 68 countries and will expand to all eligible creators in YouTube's partner program.
