Super Thanks

Super Thanks is a feature introduced to YouTube on July 20, 2021. It is similar to the live-stream super chat feature but is available only as an add-on for video comments. It had previously been tested as a beta feature in early 2020 with the name 'Viewer Applause'. At the time, users only had the option to applaud for $2.00, but could pay as many times as they wanted, until it reached the daily threshold of $500 or the weekly threshold of $2000.
==Function==
This feature allows viewers to purchase a super thanks comment which will be highlighted brightly and potentially helping YouTubers "connect with their dedicated viewers". The creator must be a member of the YouTube Partner Program to be eligible for Super Thanks. It is currently available in 68 countries, and will be made available to most creators by the end of 2021. The prices start from USD 2 and can be as high as USD 500 (or the regional currency equivalent.) There are daily and weekly spending thresholds. It varies according to the user's country. In the United States, for example, the daily threshold is $500 and the weekly threshold is $2000.
