Anyone notice YouTube removed FanFunding?

[offbeatbryce]

YouTube removed FanFunding and replaced with Super Chat which is Live Streams only. You pay to get your comments above others who don't pay. When someone watching your stream pays you earn money. But the Fan Funding for non live stream videos is GONE.

This is an aspect of youtube I really don't care for. It is becoming too much about the money for me. :/

you don't have to make money though.

Thanks for the heads-up Bryce! If people don't want to use this feature, they don't have to. For creators who make video content and would like to make it financially self-sustaining, it is a fantastic new option.

Minions. Aka 15 year old girls who want their idol to notice them. I agree its a great way for YTbers to earn money without it being "as obvious." Will probably only work for larger channels though.

I liked the feature but I probably never would have used it. I don't feel right taking money from people for my own financial problems. That being said, I'm tempted to use this new feature to "send a message" so to speak & abuse the s**t out it with self promotion xD
