Jidesh Kumar Weighs in on YouTube’s Super Thanks Policy Amid Copyright Claims
In a recent article published by News18, Jidesh Kumar provided key insights into YouTube’s Super Thanks policy and its implications for creators facing copyright claims.
Addressing concerns regarding the potential loss of Super Thanks income, he explained that when a YouTube video receives a copyright claim, it typically remains live, with monetization redirected to the copyright holder. However, he clarified that in most cases, creators can still retain Super Thanks donations, as these are categorized as voluntary contributions rather than ad revenue.
Jidesh further highlighted that if a video receives a copyright strike and is subsequently removed from YouTube, Super Thanks donations are withheld. Notably, YouTube has not explicitly stated whether these funds are refunded to contributors, redirected to the copyright holder, or retained by the platform. Based on current observations, he noted that such donations are generally not refunded and may remain with YouTube in cases where videos are permanently taken down.
