Do you want to show your appreciation to content creators on YouTube? Super Thanks is a feature that lets you tip creators on pre-recorded videos you watch, as a token of appreciation for the entertainment. Here's how you can leave your own Super Thanks tip for your favorite video and what you can expect after you complete the transaction. What Is Super Thanks on YouTube? Formerly known as Viewer Applause, Super Thanks is another way you can tip content creators on YouTube. Previously, you could pay content creators through paid memberships, Super Stickers, and Super Chat. Two of the features, Super Stickers and Super Chat, were only available during live streams. Super Thanks is available any time during your video watching experience. The button appears next to the Share and Save icons, and allows you to give the creator a tip if you found their content enjoyable. You might get the impression YouTube is only focusing on helping creators, but it has an ulterior motive for adding Super Thanks. For every dollar donated, YouTube takes a 30% cut. Although creators get another way to make money, YouTube also benefits from the new feature. When leaving a Super Thanks tip, YouTube…

Harper’s BAZAAR’s September theme is Icons, and with our cover star, Beyoncé, we have not disappointed. But even as the concept of an icon is timeless, the meaning of the adjective iconic has shifted over time. In the breathless parlance of a certain section of the internet, iconic can mean anything and everything. It can describe the fleeting perfection of a Whitney Houston run and the niche obsession with a regional soda brand. What does this changing usage mean, and where does it come from? To find out, we speak to the hosts of the pop culture podcast Who? Weekly, Lindsey Weber and Bobby Finger, experts on dissecting cultural minutia and tracing how it all links together to describe our current moment. When did you first notice entertainment press and/or fandoms using the word iconic?Bobby Finger: I think of it as a Tumblr thing. Lindsey and I both were on Tumblr a lot in the early 2010s, the late aughts. That's actually how we met. I think of it as a one-word re-blog of a Tumblr post, where you just have almost nothing to say. It's an easy way to encapsulate all of your thoughts. It's just iconic, whether it's…

With the onset of a covid pandemic lockdown that left the global population trapped in their homes, many turned to creativity to seek the freedom that would rekindle hopes in such dark and solitary times. A Kolkata based filmmaker, Suranjan Dey reposed his faith in ‘Unlucky Shirt’ that may finally turn his luck around if his short film wins him an award in the UK film festival ‘Lift-Off Global Network Session 2021’. The film is scheduled for screening in the festival that is being presently held through ‘Vimeo on Demand’ online. The final round of the festival will have live screenings at Pinewood Studios in the UK and then at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood. The director feels his short film reflects the global plight caused by the pandemic that limited interactions among people to virtual rooms through interactive software where a screen always divides two individuals even when they feel the need to embrace one another. ‘Unlucky Shirt’ is about two such individuals who are united by love, separated by the lockdown. Dey says the film centres on a telephonic conversation where both characters discuss and argue on almost all topics under the sky – love, poetry, poverty, disease or…

Facebook said Wednesday it's seeing signs that resistance to the COVID-19 vaccine is weakening both in the United States and abroad, though it acknowledged it still doesn't have hard numbers on how frequently misinformation is being shared on its platforms.Why it matters: Facebook touts a survey showing improved attitudes toward the vaccines, but that survey finding raises questions, as other polling has shown significant and entrenched hesitancy, especially in the U.S. It also doesn't show that Facebook or other social media can be credited for the shift. When it comes to the spread of hate speech, child exploitation and other types of problematic content, Facebook says the key metric is prevalence — that is, how often such content is shown — and points to declines in such information appearing on its site. Hate speech, for example, represents just five posts in 10,000.However, Facebook said it doesn't yet have data to share when it comes to COVID-19 misinformation.Instead, Facebook points to other statistics, such as how many times people viewed authoritative content about the vaccine,  » Read More
