Initially, only one fixed price point was under consideration but later due to the concerns of the creators they made it a little flexible in order to let the viewers show their support in an unconditional manner.

Apart from the Youtube Super Thanks feature youtube has got a platform in which you can buy channel membership, Super Stickers, and Super Chats as well. This option allows viewers to tip the creator during the live stream.

Youtube has introduced these features to boost and help up their Creator because the money they were getting from the advertisement wasn’t enough and reliable. The only source of money for the YouTubers was through video views. Creators can benefit themselves from these features but for that, they have to join YouTube’s partner program.
