YouTube TV Interface Coming; Shorts Monetization in the Works

YouTube plans to improve YouTube TV's user interface this year to make it easier for viewers to find new episodes and catch up on missed content, YouTube Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan blogged Tuesday. The video hosting service also launched a Shorts Fund to help creators make money on short-form content while it works on a long-term monetization model for Shorts, he said. He said it's also looking into ways Shorts creators can build branded content and "bring the ability to shop directly from a Short."
