Youtube

When it comes to finding an easy and accessible platform to post their videos, YouTube is one of the most popular sites to do so. In fact, people all over the world watch over one billion hours on YouTube every single day. In pursuit of getting more and more views than a competitor channel with the most subscribers, many content creators try and buy views to promote their videos that would fit YouTube’s algorithm. That is not the best way to do so at the end of the day. But you do need to know how to get more YouTube views with the right techniques that will build your channel organically. Here are seven YouTube strategies on how to get more views. 1. Make Custom Thumbnails for Your Videos Viewers like looking at thumbnails when they are searching for a video because it gives them an idea of what your video is about and how engaging it is. Thus, you should make ones that grab attention from the get-go. 2. Engage with the Community To make a Community post, your channel must have at least 1,000 subscribers. Once that threshold is achieved, you can reach your viewers directly with media like…

This is a surprisingly interesting video featuring NBA greats naming their all-time Starting Five. As far as we can tell here, the biggest student of the game is the late Kobe Bryant, who’s the first one asked. He names his five as Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, after saying it’s hard to pick Wilt over Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. When asked if he would put himself on that list, he immediately says “no dude, I’m nowhere near that stuff, man. You still got Jerry West, you still got Oscar Robertson, you still got Walt Frazier, you still got Bob Pettit, you still got...the list goes on and on.” Some of the other stars asked are Magic Johnson, Tracy McGrady, Alan Iverson, Kevin Durant and, inevitably, Charles Barkley. Some guys name themselves and some have a real recency bias. LeBron James is surprisingly up and down, perhaps because a lot of these guys played against him and may not have enjoyed it. Also, some of the interviews are older. For instance, Magic criticizes Steph Curry for only having won one championship. He also insults Shaquille O’ Neal, saying that “he’s no Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.” Ouch.

If you are a content creator on YouTube, you might use YouTube Analytics quite often. It basically allows you to see how much you are successful on the platform and view performance metrics associated with your channel. Over the years, YouTube Analytics has become the standard set of tools for all verified creators. But now it looks like Official Artist Channel accounts are having a hard time making use of the feature. According to recent user reports, people who have the Official Artist Channel cannot access the YouTube Analytics for Artists. Whenever they try to do so, they get greeted with the ‘Oops, something went wrong’ message on YouTube Studio. Having said that, this is not the first time YouTube Official Artist Channels (OAC) account owners are facing the issue. The issue was reported first back in 2019. CI have clear all YouTube and Browser history, try incognito browser, clear cache. Nothing happened. Still got the same issue (Source) is anyones youtube analytics not working? mine says “oops something went wrong” just me?

Facebook, YouTube and Twitter all banned harmful covid-related misinformation as the pandemic took hold throughout the world. But the false claims are still proliferating.On YouTube, the accounts of six out of 12 anti-vaccine activists identified by the Center for Countering Digital Hate as being responsible for creating more than half the anti-vaccine content shared on social media are easily searchable and still posting videos. On Facebook, researchers at the left-leaning advocacy group Avaaz ran an experiment in June in which two brand-new accounts it set up were recommended 109 pages containing anti-vaccine information in just two days.Vaccine rates in the United States have stalled and some cities are reinstituting mask recommendations as coronavirus cases rise again. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy issued a warning last week that vaccine misinformation spreading online was partly responsible for Americans refusing the vaccines, leading to deaths and illness. President Biden, too, has laid part of the blame on social media companies.Researchers agree that social media is playing a role. At the heart of the problem are the companies’ content-recommendation algorithms, which are still generally designed to boost content that engages the most people, regardless of what it is — even conspiracy theories.Story continues below…

Congratulations to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks for a superb Game 6 that won Milwaukee’s first title since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a young Buck in 1971 (trivia: Milwaukee won a coin toss with Phoenix for the right to draft Abdul-Jabbar). Antetokounmpo had a brilliant game, one that will become legendary, with 50 points in including 17-19 from the free throw line, which has been one of his few weaknesses, 14 boards and five blocks. It was an astonishing performance and one that won’t soon be forgotten. With his recent run, including games where he scored 42, 41, 26, 32 and 50 points, all after coming to terms with a painful knee injury, Antetokounmpo, in our opinion, has surpassed LeBron James and Kevin Durant as the best player in the world. And consider this: whereas James has consistently moved to teams where he had a better chance to win a title, and Durant has done that twice too, Antetokounmpo said he was committed to his team and city and would make his stand there. He took a lot of criticism, up until quite recently in fact, and has risen above it all. No one ever questioned his talent. From now…
