With YouTube gaming coming up fast on the heels of Twitch’s streaming supremacy, it was only a matter of time before Twitch started switching up its style. Testing for a new ‘Cheer’ feature was rolled out today to select US creators, a feature that’s extremely similar to YouTube’s Super Chats. With parent company Amazon’s notorious money-hunger, in stark contrast to YouTube’s industry standard for creator pay, this move has sparked hot debate over revenue split. A brand new ‘Cheer’ system itself now takes clear design inspiration from YouTube’s ‘Super Chat’ feature. The primary way for viewers on YouTube’s livestream platform to donate to streamers. On Twitter, Zach Bussey revealed an email sent to select creators. Initially, it was believed the revenue split for this Cheer feature was “80% to the creator” and just 20% to Twitch. ⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE⚠️ THE 80% CUT FOR CREATORS IS ⚠️AFTER⚠️ FEES. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION THAT COULD MAKE THIS A WORSE SPLIT THAN BITS. pic.twitter.com/Ga4MtcCBEN — Zach Bussey (@zachbussey) April 20, 2022 This 80% seemed like a one-up on YouTube, which allows creators to take home 70% of Super Chats, and garnered huge interest initially, before users on Reddit and Twitter dug a bit…

Technology|The YouTube Rabbit Hole Is Nuancedhttps://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/21/technology/youtube-rabbit-hole.htmlPerhaps you have an image in your mind of people who get brainwashed by YouTube.You might picture your cousin who loves to watch videos of cuddly animals. Then out of the blue, YouTube’s algorithm plops a terrorist recruitment video at the top of the app and continues to suggest ever more extreme videos until he’s persuaded to take up arms.A new analysis adds nuance to our understanding of YouTube’s role in spreading beliefs that are far outside the mainstream.A group of academics found that YouTube rarely suggests videos that might feature conspiracy theories, extreme bigotry or quack science to people who have shown little interest in such material. And those people are unlikely to follow such computerized recommendations when they are offered. The kittens-to-terrorist pipeline is extremely uncommon. That doesn’t mean YouTube is not a force in radicalization. The paper also found that research volunteers who already held bigoted views or followed YouTube channels that frequently feature fringe beliefs were far more likely to seek out or be recommended more videos along the same lines.The findings suggest that policymakers, internet executives and the public should focus less on the potential risk of an unwitting person…

Google-owned YouTube blocked the campaign account of Hong Kong’s only leadership candidate, John Lee, on Wednesday, citing U.S. sanctions against the former No. 2 official. Lee was among a group of 11 top Hong Kong and Chinese government officials sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury, including current Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, for curtailing political freedoms under Beijing’s national security law that was imposed in June of 2020. Lee had set up Facebook and YouTube accounts for his campaign in preparation for elections on May 8 even though he is running uncontested in the vote to replace Lam, who is not seeking another term. “Google complies with applicable U.S. sanctions laws and enforces related policies under its Terms of Service. After review and consistent with these policies, we terminated the Johnlee2022 YouTube channel,” the company said in an email regarding the use of its streaming platform. Separately, Facebook owner Meta said it has to observe U.S. law and prevent the former police officer and security secretary from using its payment services, but that it would allow him to keep his “demonetized presence” on Facebook and Instagram. “If we identify accounts maintained by or on behalf of people on the U.S.…
