HYPE is here in the US and many more countries!

No cost Hype is finally here in the US along with 16 other countries. Paid Hype has yet to be seen.

However, you must be a part of the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) in order to have Hype. If you're in the YPP, Hype is automatically applied to your channel.

Viewers will be able to Hype your latest videos every week. This means your videos has to be less than 7 days old in order to qualify!

This might come out as a bit unfortunate for those who aren't in the YPP, especially when YouTube kept mentioning how this new feature will help smaller creators.

YouTube often mentions that sub count don't matter... until it does.
