Fan support and the leaderboard
How the Support tab works: tips with a message and reaction, preset amounts and a top-supporter leaderboard.
2 min read · Updated October 2026
The Support tab gives fans a direct way to say thanks with a one-time tip. It is voluntary, it buys nothing specific, and it is a great fit for musicians, streamers and educators with a loyal audience.
How a fan supports you
- 1
Choose an amount
Presets of ₹50, ₹100, ₹200 and ₹500, or a custom amount in whole rupees (minimum ₹1).
- 2
Add a name
Fans can edit the name that appears. Signed-in fans default to their username, and guests can still support you.
- 3
Add a reaction
A fan picks an emoji reaction that comes with the payment.
- 4
Pay
UPI, cards or net banking through Razorpay.
You receive a "Payment received" notification and, if you switched it on, an email.
The leaderboard
Support builds a public leaderboard of your top supporters. It can be filtered so everyone has a chance to appear.
| Filter | Shows |
|---|---|
| Recent | Your most recent supporters. |
| Week | Top supporters in the last 7 days. |
| Month | Top supporters in the last 30 days. |
| All time | Everyone, ranked by total. |
The top three get gold, silver and bronze medals. Fans who did not enter a name appear as "Anonymous".
Make it work
- Shout out your top supporter every month. On the 1st, filter the leaderboard by Month, screenshot it, and thank #1 in a story with a link to your Support tab.
- Make it a series. Same sticker, same day, same format. Fans start to expect it, and some will try to beat the top spot.
- Give a small perk to your #1 supporter, like a free vault item or a mention in your next video.
- Say why. "Your support pays for my editing software and keeps this channel going." Be specific and honest.
