How Super Thanks Works?
Super Thanks allows audiences to buy online "thank you" cards for their favorite creators. These cards range in costs from $2 to $50 and are accessible in a number of countries. When a viewer buys a Super Thanks card, they are presented an animated picture representing the amount they are purchasing. This graphic is clearly visible in the clip's player and allows the audience to submit a message to the maker who can answer publicly or privately.
Super Thanks is not an assured source of earning, and it should not be used as your main source of income. It can, however, be a beneficial tool for producers to expand their incomes while simultaneously establishing closer connections with their followers. Producers may utilize Super Thanks to honor their most devoted followers by giving them exclusive benefits or shoutouts.
Super Thanks is not a fundraising or donation platform. It is a means for audiences to express their appreciation for a creator's work. Super Thanks earnings may be regarded differently depending on the laws that apply to the developer. As a result, creators must acknowledge and comply with all applicable laws in accordance with YouTube's Standards.

Then, from the main options, choose "Supers." If the channel has permission to use Super Thanks, it will show up in the upper right-hand corner as a button that may be shifted on and off. If the channel does not have access to Super Thanks, it could be because it does not match the eligibility standards or is in an un-permitted position.
