YouTube will spend $20 million developing educational and how-to content on the platform, the company has announced.
Some video-makers have been frustrated by changes to the platform that made it harder for them to earn money producing short and well-researched videos.
The company says its new fund will make the platform “better for educators and learners“.
As part of the scheme, YouTube will launch a new Learning Channel, which will showcase its own original programs and those made by independent creators.
Organisations such as Goodwill curate the channel and put together playlists of educational content.
