Funny Money is a $4.99/month subscription web app. Each month it scans comments on YouTube Shorts to find the single funniest one, and pays a real cash prize to whoever wrote it, plus a bonus to the creator whose Short it appeared on.
Every month, we find the single funniest comment on a YouTube Short. If it's yours, you get paid — for real, not points, not clout. Shorts only, for now — long-form videos aren't scanned.
Subscribe
$4.99 a month gets you an ad-free feed of the funniest comments happening right now — and a shot at the prize.
We scan
Every month, Funny Money combs the comment sections of every YouTube Short from our whole roster of creators — Shorts only, not long-form videos — looking for exactly one thing: the funniest comment out there.
You verify
Found it and it's yours? Prove it's really you with a quick YouTube sign-in. No fakes, no bots, no screenshotted comments that aren't actually yours.
You get paid
A share of that month's subscription revenue goes straight to the one comment that made everyone laugh. Didn't win? You're back in it next month, ad-free either way.
You didn't write the joke — your audience did. If Funny Money picks a comment from one of your Shorts as that month's funniest, you get a bonus. No cost to register. Long-form videos aren't part of the program.
Register your channel
Two minutes, verified through YouTube. Free, always.
Get discovered, get paid
If your comment section produces the winning comment, you're paid a bonus that month — whether or not the commenter happens to be a Funny Money subscriber.
Every payout is tied to a real, ownership-verified YouTube account — not a typed-in username anyone could claim.
A brand-new comment can win every single month, so last month's winner doesn't just sit there collecting attention.
Subscribers try to be funnier. Creators cultivate the kind of audience that produces funnier comments. It feeds itself.
Might as well be you.
