What did they do?
YouTube's Partner Program has an early tier (from 500 subscribers, for fan funding) and full ad revenue sharing from 1,000 subscribers plus a watch-hours or Shorts-views threshold, as listed on YouTube's official page.
What were the results?
Content must follow monetization policies; reused or mass-produced content is not eligible.
What tools do you need?
Just the platform account.
How much does it cost?
No paid tools needed: this case uses only the platform itself, which is free to join.
Is it allowed?
Yes, if it is original. YouTube does not monetize mass-produced or repetitive content. Source.
