In early 2023, you can start to earn from ads that are viewed in the Shorts Feed, based on your Shorts views - the more views you have, the more money you make. This will give creators like you a more sustainable option to grow and earn with short-form content as the Shorts ecosystem continues to grow. Just keep creating great videos and we’ll take care of the rest. Look out for more details as we close out the Shorts Fund next year.
