Hey there! Martin’s out today, so I’m here with you instead. We’ve got four topics to cover:

Firstly: Video replies are back! You can now respond to comments with a Short. The Short will then display the comment as a card. In the comments section, you also have your shop.

Secondly: Data Stories for Posts. These are Stories, similar to YouTube Stories or Instagram Stories, that contain data in an analytics dashboard. This feature has apparently been around for a while and is now available for Posts as well.

Thirdly: Channel Membership for the Shorts Player. Viewers can now watch your Shorts and have the option to give you money monthly. By the way: It’s not new news, but we noticed it in the fine print: There’s YouTube Shorts “Must-Head” advertising, which is the big first ad on the homepage that costs several hundred thousand euros per day and country and isn’t shared with creators. And there also seems to be a “Must-Ad” advertising for Shorts that appears as the first ad in the feed and also isn’t shared with creators. This might be information you should know in case your earnings are low at the beginning. Maybe that’s related.

That’s all from me for now. We’ll be back with Martin next time. See you then!
