YouTube introduces fan funding to allow users to donate to their favourite vloggers
YouTube has introduced a new way to allow users to make voluntary payments to support the YouTube creators that they love.
Entitled fan funding, the new system is available on desktop browser and the Android app, but you will only be able to donate if the creator has enabled the ‘support’ button on their page.
Coming after a beta stage, the function is now available in US, Australia, Japan and Mexico.
YouTube has promoted that it will only take a five per cent cut of each donation. In America, for example, a $10 donation would see $9.29 passed on to the YouTube channel.
