More YouTube creators are now making money from Shorts, the company's TikTok competitor


YouTube announced that more than a quarter of channels in its Partner Program are now earning money from the short-form videos.

The milestone comes a little more than a year after YouTube began sharing ad revenue with creators making Shorts. Ad revenue is pooled and divided among eligible creators based on factors like views and music licensing. TikTok, which itself has been trying to compete more directly with YouTube by encouraging longer videos, is facing a nonzero chance that its app could be banned in the United States.
