Are you constantly annoyed by the ads on YouTube? Well, we’re going to go out on a limb and assume that you are because we, and everyone else we know, also is. While it would be easy to just pay up and subscribe to YouTube Premium and get rid of all the ads, it just does not make sense to pay $15 a month for a platform you use to watch funny videos, right? If you agree with us on that one, we might have a solution for you. We have thought about this long and hard, and we have decided to go out and try and find a good YouTube alternative for watching funny videos. Now, we are not saying you are going to get an ad-free experience with all of these, but it will not be as nearly as annoying as it is on our beloved YouTube. So, without further ado – let’s meet our contestants! 1. DailyMotion Source: dailymotion.com As you could probably guess, our first alternative pick is none other than DailyMotion.

The former IAC company heads out on its own. A spin-off is when a business unit of an existing public company is separated and becomes its own public company. For example, PayPal Holdings used to be a part of eBay until it was spun off in 2015. Spin-offs can be an interesting place to look for investment ideas, because unlike IPOs, they don't tend to attract a lot of attention or excitement. Last year, IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ:IAC) spun off its online dating app, Match Group, which went on to perform well in its first year as a public company. Last month, IAC gave investors another spin-off to chew on with video publishing platform Vimeo (NASDAQ:VMEO). Given the success of Match Group, should investors pay attention to Vimeo? What exactly is Vimeo? Many people are familiar with Vimeo as a sort of little brother to Alphabet's YouTube. This was true five years ago, but Vimeo pivoted its business model in 2017 from serving as a viewing platform to operating as a software company helping businesses and creators edit and publish high-quality, ad-free videos. Vimeo still operates its viewing platform, which counts over 200 million users, but it also allows creators to upload, edit,…

  Published On 07 August,2021 02:56 pm Snap does not share any birth information with other parties on an individual level: spokesperson (Reuters) - Thousands of social media users have shared a misinformed claim that Snapchat knows the date and time of birth of its users. However, this appears to be a misunderstanding: the company told Reuters that this data has been keyed in by users themselves. One post on Facebook has been shared nearly 10,000 times since Aug. 2 and asks whether their friends and followers are aware that Snapchat “somehow knows what time you were born”. It includes a screenshot of the Snapchat platform which appears to list the person’s date, time and location of birth under a heading that reads: “My Astrological Birthday”. Multiple other people have since posted similar remarks on Facebook and Twitter, with one writing: “I’m totally freaked out by this how would they get that information and what else are they looking at on your phone”. Snapchat’s astrological feature was launched in Nov. 2020 and claims to give users a profile that’s “far beyond what you see in a daily horoscope”. The company says it uses birth information to reveal personality traits and the…
