According to YouTube, it paid over $50 billion to creators, artists, and media companies in the last three years. The chief executive officer (CEO) of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, disclosed this in her speech at the inaugural ‘Made on YouTube’ event. She said, “The YouTube Partner Program was revolutionary when we launched it in 2007, and it’s still revolutionary today. Over the last three years, YouTube has paid creators, artists, and media companies more than $50bn dollars.

That $50bn has changed the lives of creators around the world and enabled new voices and stories to be told. But we’re not done yet. When we introduced the YouTube Partner Program, we made a big bet. We succeed only when our creators succeed. And today, we’re doubling down. We’re introducing the next chapter in how we reward creativity on our platform by expanding access to our YouTube Partner program.”

According to the platform, its game-changing plan of short videos created more revenue streams for creators. So far, the plan has been successful, with over 1.5 billion users monthly and an average of more than 30 billion daily views. The more views, the more income that comes to them.
