YouTube Creator Awards

YouTube Creator Rewards, more commonly known as YouTube Play Buttons, are a recognition by YouTube of its most popular channels. These are distinct from YouTube Awards which are intended to recognize the best quality videos; the YouTube Creator Rewards are based solely on a channel's subscriber count.

There are three levels of rewards:

1. The Silver Play Button, for channels with 100,000 subscribers
2. The Gold Play Button, for channels with 1,000,000 subscribers
3. The Diamond Play Button, for channels with 10,000,000 subscribers
4. The Ruby Play Button, for channels with 50,000,000 subscribers
