The fund initially has $100 million and will begin paying out in the next few months. This amount will attract many users and video content creators who post to Shorts, especially those who are famous, influential and have many followers. The beta version of Shorts was launched in the US at the beginning of the year and then officially opened to all US users in early May. YouTube earned $6.01 billion from advertising in the first quarter of 2021 Over the past few years, TikTok has achieved rapid success in popularity. This short video maker application has been downloaded more than 2 billion times globally and many tech giants are not ignoring this attractive market.

TikTok launched a content creator fund, which subsequently increased its investment in the US to US$1 billion over three years.

Shorts’ advantage over TikTok is that the platform already has 100,000 licensed tracks available. YouTube is also working with music artists and publishers to enrich the music store.

In its first-quarter 2021 earnings report, Google’s parent company Alphabet said YouTube earned $6.01 billion from advertising, up nearly 50% from the same period last year.

TikTok was the first platform that started the short clip trend and was quickly copied by other social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube. As the market for short video features became more competitive, platforms launched funds to reward creators as a way to engage users. YouTube says the new fund will pay thousands of creators each month whose YouTube Shorts video gets a lot of engagement from viewers. YouTube also adds that the fund will launch in the coming months and pay creators this year and 2022. But YouTube isn’t the only big guy with a bonus feature for content creators. In July last year, TikTok launched a fund for creators worth more than $ 1 billion over three years to entice users. Meanwhile, Snapchat announced a $ 1 million daily reward for users with top engaging content on Spotlight. According to Reuters
