YouTube has announced a raft of planned features for content creators including the ability for fans to donate money directly to YouTubers.
Some creators already use third-party websites like Patreon which let subscribers donate money to their favourite projects.
YouTube revealed it is working on its own donation system, in a video uploaded to the YouTube Creators channel.
The video also revealed that YouTube is planning to allow creators to legally record cover versions of pop songs and share the advertising revenue with Google and the record labels.
Another new feature will allow fans to write subtitles for videos, where content creators have neglected to provide their own.
The YouTube team are also planning to launch a royalty-free sound effect library, and are working on a creator app which will allow videomakers to track statistics and advertising revenue on-the-go.

We use Google AdSense to generate revenue from visits to our website. Google will display ads that it believes are relevant to you based on your browsing history, and we will earn a small amount of money from any interactions you have with them.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect data about (among other things) the pages you view, the device you use to access the site, roughly where you are visiting from, and, if you didn’t come to us directly, the website that linked you to us or the search terms you used to find us. This helps us learn a bit about who our readers are, what TenEighty content they are interested in, and how they consume it. We have chosen to use the IP Anonymization option so that your IP address and specific location are never recorded. The data collected by Google Analytics is retained indefinitely, but none of it is personally identifiable, and it is not made available to any third parties.
It also lets us know how many people are using the site at any given moment, which allows us to identify and deal with traffic spikes. These have caused problems with the stability of the site in the past, so Analytics is necessary for us to keep the site online.
