Read previewIf you consider yourself very online, you'd likely be able to name the early wave of top YouTube creators, from Lilly Singh and PewDiePie to Zoella and Tyler Oakley. AdvertisementDuring the early days of YouTube, there were only a handful of channels to watch with creators consistently making quality content. But now, the number of YouTube creators uploading content and making money from the platform has grown tremendously. Still, Allocca said he's noticed there are more successful creators than there used to be but fewer huge stars. AdvertisementSo, while there may be more opportunities for YouTube creators now, it may be a while before we see another rising star who can amass the broad appeal of someone like MrBeast.

New York CNN —YouTube says hundreds of thousands of creators are now earning a paycheck from posting short-form videos on the platform, as it ramps up its race to compete with rivals like TikTok and Instagram. It hasn’t been cheap: the Google-owned platform is shelling out tens of thousands of dollars to some of its top Shorts creators — like beauty influencer Sydney Morgan — every month. YouTube says the fresh data to its ability to incentivize existing creators to try out a new format — and to attract new users. “I make more from just YouTube Shorts (revenue) sharing in a month than I can make on other comparable platforms in a year,” she said. YouTube declined to share data around the total amounts it’s paid to creators for Shorts in the year since it added the feature to the YouTube Partner Program.

YouTube unveiled major changes to its partner program Tuesday, announcing that creators will soon be able to earn ad revenue off of Shorts, its TikTok competitor. The YouTube Partner Program, which began in 2007, has paid creators a cut of ad revenue generated from their videos. Instead, YouTube launched the temporary Shorts Fund, a $100 million fund distributed over the course of 2021-22, to pay eligible creators. For videos posted to Shorts, YouTube will add up the entirety of the revenue from ads run between videos on its Shorts Feed to "reward Shorts creators and help cover the cost of music licensing." "It feels like YouTube cares about creators with their hearts, but they care about the labels with their wallets," Green wrote.
YouTube announced the biggest changes to its creator monetization program in 15 years. YouTube will share ad revenue with Shorts creators who have 1,000 subscribers and 10 million views. That's because YouTube is allocating a portion of total Shorts ad revenue to cover music licensing. Shorts monetization is something of an ultimatum to TikTok, but concerns persistBeginning next year, in place of the YouTube Shorts fund, YouTube will start sharing revenue from Shorts ads with creators. Creator Music is currently in beta and launching later this fall with partners including Empire, Believe, Downtown, and Merlin.
