In this, users have all the freedom in the world to gift a channel's subscription to another user. It is one of the most popular features of the purple platform.So basically, users first have to make a small purchase of a membership to a certain streamer and then they can just gift that subscription to other users. It could just be a perfect gift or a special way to show support towards one's favorite creator on the platform.Now, with Rae's recent tweet, it seems like YouTube users are in for a treat as the platform continues to bring out more features as it further breaks into the streaming sphere.
