- Hello Insiders.
Lauren, from the Creator Insider team
was looking for someone to shoot a very quick newsflash
because you know, holiday season is upon us,
and she dusted off the Rolodex and
got in contact with me and I said, sure,
I'd be happy to do it.
For those of you who don't know,
I used to work on the Creator Insider channel
many moons ago.
Some people have asked in the comments, where am I?
I'm still at Google.
I've moved from Switzerland to California.
And now I work on a product called,
instead of Creator Studio, It's called Care Studio.
So, I'm just working from one studio to the next.
But let's get into the news flash for Creator Insider.
First, is an update on super thanks,
as you know, super thanks is a great way
for viewers to show support for creators on the watch page.
And it was expanded earlier this year
to thousands of monetizing creators.
And what happens today is, when a fan purchases
a super thanks, a bonus comment says,
thanks, exclamation point.
And that's added to the video's watch page comment section.
And that comment was not editable until now.
All right, so we're experimenting with customizable
comments for super thanks.
It will allow supporters to kind of have more meaningful
and interactions with the creators as part of that process.
Now we're experimenting with it.
So, only some of your viewers will be able to
customize their comments.
But stay tuned, because we'll be rolling out the feature
to more users in the coming months.
And if you don't have access to super thanks at all,
also stay tuned, because we're gonna be rolling out
the whole feature to more creators next year.
And next year is right around the corner.
So, let us know if you have any feedback about that.
Next, we've launched two new tools that help creators
manage their channel membership programs better.
The first, is the ability to export
a list of your members to CSV.
The second, is a partnership with IFTT that allows
creators to create a members only form.
And you can use that form to collect info
from your members to help you deliver perks.
Only channel members will be able to fill out these forms,
and only on channels that they're a member of.
Feature is currently available globally,
but it is English only.
And we'll leave more info in the description below.
Last, this update is from Connor.
If you are in YPP, the YouTube Partner Program,
you may have noticed a new section within the
self-certification questionnaire in the upload flow called,
enabling dishonest behavior.
This section corresponds to the addition of a new guideline
in the advertiser friendly content guidelines page.
This is one of a number of efforts to increase transparency
around what may and may not monetize.
The enforcement remains the same.
We're just making it clear how we address
specific content areas.
The new guidelines provides insight
into how we've treated content around hacking,
trespassing and cheating,
and that guideline is now reflected
in the questionnaire itself.
This'll be the last news flash of 2021.
We hope everyone is well and staying safe and healthy.
We hope you have an amazing winter holiday and New Year.
But we can't wrap it until we do a movie quote.
I feel like we need to do that.
And I also, since I've,
I've got the floor,
I do want to ask for feedback on the
Creator Studio mobile app, which has improved
tremendously this year.
So, kudos to the team.
I'm curious what would you like to see improved
in that mobile app.
I personally, would like to see a
immediate report after a live stream is over,
showing how my live stream performance,
compared to previous live streams, but that's just me.
But, what would you like to see?
Last, got to give you some movie quotes.
First person to guess
what series these quotes are from,
at a minimum, I'll shout it out on my personal Twitter.
Here are your three quotes from the same series.
If you know it, put it in the comments below,
what is this series.
"I can bring you in warm or I can bring you in cold".
"Bounty hunting is a complicated profession".
"I will help you, I have spoken".
All right.
Hope you have a happy New Year, stay safe and keep it real.
All right, Lauren, here we are.
Okay, look at the camera.
I'm out of focus.
Come on, this piece of crap camera.
Ariel is probably saying to himself, see, I told you.
All right, here we go.
