PLAYTV by BrightcoveDESCRIPTION
YouTube has revealed that over 1.5 billion people are watching YouTube Shorts every month. YouTube Shorts, which was launched in 2020, is the company’s answer to TikTok. According to a press release, the growing popularity of the new feature has caused a rise in multiformat creators.
In 2021, YouTube reportedly launched a $100 million Shorts fund. This fund paid creators up to $10,000 a month when they create popular Shorts content. "We are experiencing a slight headwind to revenue growth as Shorts viewership grows as a percentage of total YouTube time", Ruth Porat, Alphabet CFO. YouTube is currently testing monetization options as the fund was only a short-term way for creators to monetize Shorts. Porat revealed that “early advertise feedback and results are encouraging”.
