Alternatively, they can qualify with 20 million Shorts views in the last 90 days. The programme now has more than 3 million creators. To keep receiving money from the Shorts Creators Pool, a revenue-sharing pool that pays creators based on Shorts performance, creators will now need to maintain 10 million Shorts views over every rolling 90-day period. Alongside the announcement, YouTube said its cheaper Premium Lite subscription, an ad-free tier that also allows offline downloads and background play, will now be available in every country where standard YouTube Premium is offered. YouTube said 60% of net Premium Lite subscription revenue goes into the creator pool, compared with 30% for full Premium, with 55% of that pool going to long-form creators and 45% to Shorts creators.
