YouTube is whipping out another tool to hackle health misinformation on the platform.Photo: Chubo - my masterpiece (Shutterstock)In its latest effort to limit health misinformation, YouTube is trying to make it easier for users to identify and differentiate reliable, factual videos made by certified healthcare professionals from those made by wellness gurus and their ilk. Starting today, the platform will let doctors and nurses apply for verified provider labels and showcase their videos on special healthcare carousels in search results.The announcement was made on Thursday by YouTube’s global head of health Dr. Garth Graham, who pointed out in a blog post that this is the first time the platform will extend its health product features to individual healthcare providers. Previously, the features were available to organizations like universities and government agencies. YouTube has historically struggled to rein in medical misinformation, most recently during the pandemic, and has been criticized for dragging its feet on implementing fixes for the problem.

This year’s tech-stock slump continues as Google misses the mark on its latest earnings. But the tech giant is betting on the world’s pivot to a distributed workforce, hybrid work, and digital transformation, more than the next YouTube star, to help buoy future growth. Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube, reported a total of $69.1 billion in revenue in the third quarter that ended Sept. 30, a 6% increase from $65.12 billion at the same time last year. On average, analysts expected revenue to be $70.58 billion, according to Refinitiv data. YouTube advertising revenue declined. The company reported $7.07 billion in revenue for the quarter, compared to $7.2 billion in the third quarter of 2021. Regarding Google Search, which is in the Google services segment, “we did see a pullback in spend by some advertisers in certain areas in search ads,” Philipp Schindler, SVP and chief business officer at Google, said during the company’s earnings call on Tuesday. “For example, in financial services, we saw a pullback in the insurance, loan, mortgage, and crypto subcategories. There’s no question we’re operating in an uncertain environment.” The third quarter reflects, “healthy fundamental growth in search and momentum in cloud, while…

YouTube’s long battle against TikTok has started to take its toll after its parent company, Alphabet, reported a decline in revenue at the video-streaming site.The fall, from $7.2bn (£6.2bn) in 2021 to $7bn this year, is the first since Alphabet started reporting YouTube’s performance separately two years ago, and marks a financial slowdown at the once dominant internet video hub.The decline was attributed in part to the worsening economy around the world, with rising inflation and pressures on household budgets leading to a retrenchment in the advertising industry.“When Google stumbles, it’s a bad omen for digital advertising at large,” said Evelyn Mitchell, the principal analyst at Insider Intelligence. But competition was intensifying between YouTube and TikTok for the eyeballs of the world, he said. “YouTube ad revenues shrank for the first time since Google started reporting YouTube earnings separately in Q4 2019, due in large part to persistent competition in streaming and short video.”According to research from the market analysts data.ai (formerly AppAnnie), TikTok is number one worldwide for consumer spend, with YouTube in second place as of September 2022. But the discrepancy is far larger when it comes to active users. TikTok is in fifth place but YouTube does…

It was the first time YouTube's ad revenue shrank on a year-over-year basis since the company started breaking out the division's results in 2019.Alphabet's overall revenue growth drastically declined from 41% a year ago to 6%, underscoring how fears of a looming recession have caused companies to cut back on their advertising and marketing campaigns. Indeed, Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat said during a call with analysts that YouTube's revenue decline "primarily reflects further pullbacks in advertiser spends."Some of the advertisers that slowed their online advertising spending with Alphabet come from the financial services, insurance, loans and mortgage and crypto industries, said Alphabet chief business officer Philipp Schindler.Last week, Snap set the tone for the online advertising market when it missed third-quarter analyst estimates with $1.13 billion in sales, sending its shares tumbling more than…
