OK Freedom! Shouldn't you make some effort to speed this up a little? You're one of the major forces on YouTube now - I'm sure there is *something* you can do. 3 months and not a peep

I think it'd be awesome, but only for the bigger YouTubers. I can't see it being at all beneficial to anyone with less than, say, 2,500 subscribers.
I can see it being a huge boon for larger channel, and some of the smaller channels. But for people like me that are just starting out, it won't do much but I'm all for it.
I politely disagree. Small channels that provide quality content usually have pretty engaged community. I'm going to use my example: I have held a fundraiser for the New 3DS Capture Kit and gathered almost $500, despite having only <900 subs. Small communities can be really awesome

yeah Fan Funding would be very nice and will help you know if your fan like what you are doing and thats something we would all like to know lol
I think this would be a good idea~ never know it could come handy for anyone who wants to put this on their channel

While we are one of the largest forces, YouTube doesn't make special exceptions. It is on the YouTube end to open it up to more countries, but we understand why they are hesitant. We wait patiently for them to expand this project, but they can't give Freedom! Special treatment, they open it up for us, the have to open it up for all. Which, YouTube would be unwilling to do. I want to see fanfunding for all of our channels, but until that time. We must wait, wait for YouTube!
Then we all will get our buttons, and can grow more !
It isn't an exception. There are lots of small communities formed around content creators that do this kind of thing. Don't make it sound like it's some rare thing.
i haven't read all 5 pages on this. youtube fan funding isn't available in the UK yet either. however i do have a streamtip donation page. i have 54 subs and got a £5 donation from a guy who was happy to help me build for the future.
Would a great idea! It opens up new ways and ideas to enhance our youtube channels by fan funding. This way trough interaction we can host special giveaways and more besides the things we already do to improve even further
ok, I'll be honest, I didn't read through the whole thread, nor did I check the forum. It's late, and I'm tired but if I don't do it now I'll forget so I'm sorry.
Anyways, having just headed over to youtube in the past hour the live streaming layout had changed, along with a noteable one (this may have happened ages ago). You can now add fundraising cards, and there appears to be a healthy selection to choose from. I didn't see anything to suggest it wasn't available in the UK neither

Yes, fan funding would be a great thing when utilized properly. Waiting patiently for the day when it's turned on.
