Most people know the YouTube Creator Awards as YouTube Play Buttons. These are a series of gifts from YouTube recognizing its most popular channels. There are several factors YouTube considers before giving away these YouTube plaques. One of these is the channel’s subscriber count. A channel goes under review before YouTube issues an award. It ensures that the channel follows the community guidelines it set. Some channels are not given these awards because of many factors. These include horror and political content, as well as various critics.

Tiers of rewards

Each button and plaque gets bigger as the subscriber count increases.
