"It starts to mess with your mind." And you probably know that Hailey Bieber isn't on Twitter anymore after she deactivated her account last summer. There was never really a time I would go on there that it didn't feel like it was a very toxic environment," she explained. "The thought of even opening the app gives me such bad anxiety that I feel like I'm going to throw up." "People can say whatever they want on the internet, you know, and then this stuff goes viral because people believe anything that they see on social media." Hailey also said that her therapist helps her stay grounded amidst the digital noise, reminding her that it all "really only exists in your screen." "I think when you're going through a situation where you just have so many people hounding you with the same thing over and over and over again, it starts to mess with your mind and then you start to question everything," she continued. "You're like, 'Is there something that I'm not seeing that they see... Maybe they're right?'" Bieber explained that her 2018 marriage to husband Justin Bieber "really opened me up to this new kind of level…

Nandini YadavApr 01, 2021 09:32:16 ISTOne of biggest tech trends of 2021 was the skyrocketing popularity of the audio-only app Clubhouse.

Unless you took social distancing a little too far and were living in a cave, you would know that Clubhouse is a social platform built around the “drop-in audio chat” model. It features ephemeral real-time voice conversations that any user can listen to and nobody can record. From Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah to Lindsay Lohan, Clubhouse has gathered a legion of high-profile users. What’s so attractive about audio-only conversation? For starters, the pandemic, the quarantine, the one-year of WFH, the hordes of people desperate for social connection, all of that together may have created the ideal conditions for the audio-only model to thrive. Stanford professor Jeremy Bailenson, founding director of the Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Lab (VHIL) recently shared a study, according to which, ‘Zoom fatigue’ is real. Bailenson says these video calls are tiring people out more than usual. Constant Zoom calls and meetings, longer work…

Photo: Robyn Beck (Getty Images)On the same day that Governor Andrew Cuomo fully legalized recreational weed use across New York, YouTube quietly lifted a few of its own restrictions regarding the drug, too. In a Wednesday update posted to the company’s ad-friendly content guidelines, YouTube announced it would be easing up on the monetization restrictions for certain kinds of content dealing with “recreational drugs and drug-related content,” among other topics.Youtube’s been a historically unfriendly place for cannabis-related content, with some creators in the space finding channels suspended or demonetized, often without warning starting in late 2018. While YouTube’s eased up on some of its restrictions since then, there’s still a fine–and seemingly arbitrary—line these creators have to walk. The update clears some of that up: but the specifics are still a bit fuzzy: starting in April, YouTube says, creators in the YouTube Partner Program can start earning ad revenue from content that “focuses on the purchase, fabrication, or distribution of drugs” in an educational or “non-glorified” way. In past iterations of YouTube’s monetization specs, these same creators were told that they could turn on monetization for their channel, but it was ultimately up to brands if they wanted to “opt-in”…

For the past decade, Ken Block has been routinely lighting up the internet with his high-octane Gymkhana videos on YouTube. Now, the rally driver is parting ways with three of his on-screen dream machines. Arguably celebrities in their own right, the cars have amassed roughly 200 million views on YouTube. The famed trio includes a 2011 Ford Fiesta ST “GYM3,” a 2013 Fiesta ST “RX43” and a rare 1986 Ford RS200. Each car has been hopped up for racing and driven by Block himself. All three are up for sale for the first time through LBI Limited. The GYM3, which essentially kickstarted the hit YouTube series, was the first car to come courtesy of Block’s former partnership with Ford. The Blue Oval provided cars to Block’s outfit, Hoonigan Racing, for the Gymkhana film production and several rally events worldwide.
