YouTube Premium
While YouTube remains free for all to post and view videos, YouTube Premium allows you to watch those videos without ads.
YouTube Memberships
Channel memberships on the main YouTube site and app allow you to purchase public badges, emoji, and access to creator perks offered by the channel. Memberships may be priced differently depending on your country, and the platform you use.
Monetization Requirements
To start earning money directly from YouTube, creators must have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past year. Once they reach that threshold, they can apply for YouTube’s Partner Program, which allows creators to start monetizing their channels through ads, subscriptions, and channel memberships.
Viewer Insights
YouTubers cannot see exactly who has viewed their video, but they can see the percentage of how many viewers are a certain age or what gender they are.
Subscribing to Channels
By subscribing to a particular channel or user on YouTube, you can receive instant updates whenever new content from that source appears. It also enables you to view activity from the user, such as videos that have been named "favorites," ratings that have been given and comments that have been left.
