The main purpose of this is to somehow reduce the influence of tik tok which is the most popular short video app and is penetrating at a very fast pace. Because of this, the owners of YouTube themselves are also concerned. In a statement, the company termed the funds as a short bonus. Though, there are a few conditions and standards for this funding which have not been disclosed yet. However, it is expected to be announced soon.

Obviously, the primary purpose of these incentives is to bring the younger generation towards Youtube Shorts and that is the sole reason YouTube Shorts Bonus has been announced. In addition to that, YouTube in its latest Creator Insider video also announced a new Shorts feature that will notify creators when 15-second clips from their videos are repurposed for other creators’ Shorts. On the other hand, for smartphone users, YouTube is rolling out a new tab on creators’ channel pages where they can display all of their shorts in grid view.
