Creators can earn a new source of cash and interact with viewers who want to express their gratitude for their material by using Super Thanks (previously known as Viewer applause).

On a video page, viewers can purchase a funny animation called Super Thanks. Only the purchaser will see the one-time animation, which will appear over the video. Purchasers will also be able to leave a unique, colorful, and personalized comment in the video’s comments section as an extra bonus.
