Updated: Jun 1, 2023 5:50 pmPosted: Jun 1, 2023 5:48 pmAre you a Trekkie looking to get into the franchise's expanding small-screen catalogue? Fret not! The complete first season of Paramount+’s acclaimed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is now free to watch on YouTube. It's something of an odd move, considering Trek is one of Paramount+'s biggest draws, but the timing of the YouTube drop is surely no coincedence; it's just in time to get caught up before the second season’s June 15 premiere.Strange New Worlds chronicles the pre-Original Series adventures of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Spock (Ethan Peck), Number One (Rebecca Romijn), Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), and the rest of the Enterprise crew. Our 10/10 review of Season 1 called the show “emotional, exciting, funny, and sometimes scary,” singling out Mount’s performance as one of its biggest draws.Created by Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, and Jenny Lumet, Strange New Worlds is the 11th series in the franchise. For years now, Kurtzman has been building a massive Star Trek universe on the small screen, delivering offbeat concepts such as Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy. Other shows in Kurtzman’s ever-ballooning Trekverse include the recently ended Picard and

Senate Passes Debt Ceiling Bill, YouTube Blackout Challenge, Shangri-La Dialogue The Senate has passed the debt ceiling bill that will prevent the country from defaulting, but it comes with some changes to work requirements. A Wisconsin mom is taking on YouTube shareholders after her son died of what is called a "Blackout Challenge" he found on the platform.

Annie McGrath Annie McGrath never had to worry too much about her 13-year-old son Griffin. He had good grades and lots of friends. Griffin played baseball and the drums and had even won a national science competition. Because he was so interested in science and experiments, he spent a lot of time watching YouTube videos. That's where he and his friends saw something called the blackout challenge. "We had heard of challenges," said McGrath, who lives in Madison, Wis. "But I never knew there were any that were deadly." Social media challenges involve people recording themselves doing something dramatic, funny or risky. The videos often go viral. Some of these dares, however, can be dangerous. Like the blackout challenge, which is when someone holds their breath until they pass out. That's what happened to Griffin one night in February 2018. He did the blackout challenge from his room, while FaceTiming with friends. Only he never woke up. "I didn't know anything was wrong until it was too late," McGrath said, in an

Actions YouTube has created Study Hall, a new approach that demystifies the college process while creating an affordable and accessible onramp to earning college credit. Posted at 8:18 AM, May 30, 2023 and last updated 2023-05-30 08:18:23-04 One of the many things that makes learning on YouTube so special is how much users love to do it! Every day, people around the world choose to spend time on the platform learning to improve their lives. Now, they want to empower learners even further by providing a direct path to formal education.YouTube has partnered with Arizona State University (ASU) and Crash Course to create Study Hall. It’s a new approach that demystifies the college process while creating an affordable and accessible on-ramp to earning college credit. Post-secondary education drives economic and social mobility in powerful ways, yet the path to higher education can be riddled with barriers, including high cost and accessibility. YouTube is hoping to change that with Study Hall.There are four “College Foundations” courses that offer eligibility for transfer credit. This suite encompasses the most common first-year college courses at many higher-education institutions: English Composition, College Math, US History, and Human Communication.Developed and taught by the same faculty who

For as long as I’ve worked in SEO, I have been asked the same question by brands and businesses, big and small: Why should I use YouTube? How can it help my business? Shouldn’t I be on TikTok instead? Sadly, for many businesses, YouTube is just a place to host their videos. Nothing more, nothing less. And it’s a huge missed opportunity in terms of video ROI, brand awareness, traffic and audience growth. A lack of effort in marketing and optimizing videos is one reason the C-suite is often reluctant to invest in future video projects. They just don’t see the value. In short, for many businesses, YouTube is where their videos go to die. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Your YouTube channel doesn’t have to be a brand video graveyard. Understanding the problem Brands and businesses often disregard YouTube as a genuine and viable medium for growth. There are common false assumptions among business leaders and even marketers around YouTube: YouTube is for kids and Gen Z. YouTube is all about clickbait, pop culture and music videos. Being successful on YouTube requires a big budget and professional production equipment. No one will be interested in what
