If you’ve been itching to tip YouTube video producers, you’ll be glad to know that you can finally reward those people for their hard work: the Fan Funding feature has launched in Australia, Japan, Mexico and the US. If a video host sets up a virtual tip jar, you can use your Google Wallet account (including any attached credit cards) to contribute right from a video page or the Android app. You can specify any amount you like, although YouTube will take a small cut to handle the deal; in the US, it’s five percent of your donation plus another 21 cents. Support is coming to both other countries and iOS users soon, so don’t despair if you can’t contribute to your favorite channel just yet.
