Between new streaming services , massive increases in CTV ad spending , and growing investments from major tech players, the digital video ecosystem is moving quickly and showing no signs of slowing down. Amidst this turmoil, however, YouTube stands above the fray as a seemingly immovable giant. The company’s revenue increased by 84% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2021, driven in large part by a rebound in online advertising. YouTube’s advertising success can be credited to its automated auctions, which are proving to be extremely effective at selling ad space. According to a recent article from The Information, this effectiveness is due to YouTube underpricing publishers that sell spots directly on the platform. “One digital media executive told The Information that his firm is now selling as little as 10% to 15 of its YouTube ad space directly, down from as much as 40% three years ago. That’s because YouTube charges as little as a quarter what the publishers charge for spots they sell on their YouTube programs, the executive said.” By undercutting those publishers that sell directly on their own content, YouTube is seeing outsized benefit from its growth. So what are publishers to do about it? If…

A YouTube star told TODAY Parents she's consumed with regret after she posted a video of herself coaching her already distressed child on how to cry for the camera.In the now-deleted clip, titled "We are heartbroken," Jordan Cheyenne explained that her family’s puppy had been diagnosed with a potentially deadly illness.Cheyenne’s son, Christian, 8, was seen sobbing loudly in the passenger seat as she broke the news to her 500,000 subscribers.“Come closer,” Cheyenne told him, while pulling him towards her. “Act like you’re crying.”“I am crying,” the little boy replied. “Mom, I’m actually seriously crying.”Cheyenne coached Christian to scrunch up his face, told him to wail in a certain way and told him how to place his hand.“Let them see your mouth,” the parenting and lifestyle vlogger said. “Look at the camera.”After uploading the footage last week, Cheyenne was swiftly criticized on social media.“The Jordan Cheyenne video is so disturbing and hard to watch," wrote Twitter user Andrea Russett.

by: Sean O'Donnell Posted: Sep 14, 2021 / 04:45 PM MDT / Updated: Sep 14, 2021 / 04:45 PM MDT Denver Mayor Michael Hancock at a news conference about COVID-19 on May 14, 2020. DENVER (KDVR) — Can you imagine walking down the 16th Street Mall and having a bush jump up and scare you? That’s exactly what happened to Mayor Michael Hancock – and many other people – recently. In a video posted to the Texas Bushman YouTube channel, a man talks about how he was hiding in plain sight waiting to scare people. It’s not totally clear when the video was recorded, but it appears to be a weekend day from this summer, given the crowds, the clothing and the occasional mask. The prankster’s disguise is pretty clever, looking like an ivy bush in a planter. The only thing off is that it’s located somewhat in the middle of the walkway near the mall’s intersection with Arapahoe Street. The highlight though comes toward the end when Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen lets the prankster know one of his “victims” was Mayor Michael Hancock. The video then cuts to the scare in question, which you just need to experience…

Nagpur: The two alleged ATM breakers — Irfan Khan Pathan and Jamiruddin Shaikh — arrested a day ago by Wadi police were remanded to police custody till September 14 on Sunday, after being being produced before the court. The duo, nabbed following a dramatic chase by cops after being found trying to break an ATM in Waddhamna, wanted to break an ATM after watching similar videos on YouTube. Prodded by the YouTube videos on how to break an ATM with hammer and axe, the three friends, Pathan, Shaikh and Sonu Khan (who is yet to be nabbed), had decided to break an ATM for fast cash. Police said Khan's wife was admitted at the maternity ward of a hospital and he needed some fast money. Pathan owned a chicken shop in Waddhamna. The three accused were heading to Ashti to meet another friend when they came across the ATM near Wadhhamna Chowk, and decided to break it. The trio was spotted by Wadi cops before it could manage to break the ATM open. Pathan and Shaikh were arrested after their car had an accident near Vasudev Nagar. FacebookTwitterLinkedinEMail
