YouTube has dominated the world in terms of free video streaming but that doesn’t mean everyone is pleased with the site. There are a whole lot of advertisements on YouTube these days as well as the occasional glitches that can make anyone feel annoyed. Although YouTube itself is free, YouTube Premium costs around $11.99 a month. With premium, you no longer have to see advertisements. YouTube has been around since it was founded in 2005 by Jawed Karim, Steve Chen, and Chad Hurley. The California-born company was created and once the world learned about it, nothing was ever the same. Watching videos on YouTube has become the norm for many. Over 1 billion watch hours are spent on YouTube every single day.  YouTube alternatives aren’t nearly as popular or well known as YouTube itself but if given a fair chance, there are some YouTube alternatives that could be a lot more fun to use. Vimeo Of course, Vimeo’s at the top of the list for wonderful YouTube alternatives. The headquarters for Vimeo are located in New York City, but people who want to stream videos can watch from anywhere. Just like YouTube, all you need is an account in order…

Instagram has at least 1 billion active users going on the platform every month, but it's not just for selfies and beautiful travel photos. According to recent statistics, 81% of users turn to the platform to search for products and services. For brands and businesses, this means more opportunities to sell their products and gain customers. However, you can’t just post and wait for your followers to come. If you want to boost engagement and build a thriving community around your brand, here are some things you can do. Interact with followers Interacting with followers lets them know that you care about them, and they expect a response especially if they’ve left you a question in the comments box. Aside from acknowledging or replying to whatever comes your way, Business 2 Community suggests encouraging customers to take a photo of themselves when they use your product/service and use your hashtags or tag your account. This encourages people to be involved and be associated with your brand. Take note, of course, that it's just as important to address negative feedback. Don't delete or ignore these comments! Instead, engage with that customer and provide solutions. This shows that you want everyone to have a…

Going on 13 years strong now. By Rachel LeishmanApr 28th, 2021, 12:03 pm Ben Barnes is, currently, the talk of the town. I have seen talk of him being the internet’s “new boyfriend,” and I would just like to say that we’ve BEEN HERE. Ben Barnes has been our collective boyfriend for very nearly 13 years (and we still don’t have a ring!). The actor, who came into the fold (get it?) back in 2007 in Stardust was instantly in our hearts. Then, in 2008, we watched Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian in the Chronicles of Narnia series, and quickly, the internet knew his name and the rise of Bin Bons began. (We call him Bin Bons. It’s a whole thing. Just go with it.) Tumblr was just starting and he was really one of the first and longest boyfriends that we’ve had in this age of internet fandom. And … well … can you blame the internet? Ben Barnes can sing, he’s funny, he’s tall, and he’s British. He reaches all of our requirements. For me, I knew the internet wanted him to play a young Sirius Black. As the self-appointed biggest fan of the character, I could see it but I wasn’t…

Social media can be a great place for brands of all kinds to interact and share jokes with fans or followers. But when a brand joins in on a meme or an interaction that a follower starts, they are often taking a risk that responding at all might be the real joke. Trigger happy brand social media managers got tricked into fist bumping alleged child predator and ... YouTuber EDP445. @JedrickWills and @ThatMannAl on Twitter Who is EDP? What was he exposed for? 30 year old Bryant Moreland, or EDP445,  is a YouTuber who’s rise to fame came from viral videos of the many intense frustrations of being an Eagles super fan. Earlier this month, Moreland was allegedly caught sending sexual messages to what he thought was a 13-year-old girl. In reality, that 13-year-old was a decoy by a predator-catching YouTube channel called Chet Goldstein. In the now deleted video, Moreland pulled up to a location given by the decoy and thinking he was about to meet up with a child after sexting them, was instead met by Goldstein’s crew with screenshots and cameras. What memes came from the video? The channel no longer is no longer available due…
