What Is YouTube Super Thanks?
Super Thanks is a feature that lets users support their favorite YouTube channels and provides creators with a new source of revenue.
Viewers can click a “Thanks” button while watching a video to buy a one time animation and send a personalized, colorful message to stand out in the comment section.
The cost of a Super Thanks is fully up to the viewer and how generous they’re feeling at the time. Creators keep 70% of the amount a viewer chooses to contribute.

To set it up, go to YouTube Studio on desktop and select Monetization from the left-hand navigation menu.
Click the Supers tab where you’ll find Super Thanks with an on-off toggle.
When it’s turned on a Thanks button will automatically appear on all your existing and future videos.
How To Review Super Thanks Revenue ?
