Big Tech continues to tiptoe into crypto. The latest example is a move by YouTube to let creators on the video platform choose to receive payouts in PayPal’s stablecoin. The head of crypto at PayPal, May Zabaneh, confirmed the arrangement to Fortune, adding that the feature is live and, as of now, only applies to users in the U.S.  A spokesperson for Google, which owns YouTube, confirmed the video site has added payouts for creators in PayPal’s stablecoin but declined to comment further. YouTube is already an existing customer of PayPal’s and uses the fintech giant’s payouts service, which helps large enterprises pay gig workers and contractors.  Early in the third quarter, PayPal added the capability for payment recipients to receive their checks in PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD. Afterwards, YouTube decided to give that option to creators, who receive a share of earnings from the content they post on the platform, said Zabaneh. “The beauty of what we’ve built is that YouTube doesn’t have to touch crypto and so we can help take away that complexity,” she added. Big Tech eyes stablecoins YouTube’s interest in stablecoins comes as Google and other Big Tech companies have shown interest in the cryptocurrencies amid

YouTube has announced some expanded Shorts ad options for your last-minute holiday push, including comments on Shorts ads, enabling creators to link to a brand’s website within branded content, expanded Shorts ad placement options, and more. First off, YouTube will now enable comments on Shorts ads “ to give your brand more ways to interact with audiences and match the experience of organic Shorts.” That’ll provide another engagement option with Shorts promotions, which could help to enhance interest, and as YouTube notes, will also provide more opportunities for brands to engage with ad viewers. YouTube says that c omments will only be available on Shorts ads if the video channel is linked to a Google Ads account or a 360 Space account. But if you meet these requirements, it could be another way to spark engagement with your Shorts promotions. Though this is likely a bigger update. YouTube will also now enable Shorts creators to link to your brand’s website within their branded Shorts,  providing a more direct link between the promotion and your offerings. Originally announced at its “MadeOn” event back in September, the option will give brands more opportunity to drive shopping activity from their partner promotions. As

Thursday, December 11th, 2025 – 12:03 am Bundle Of Joy The cable TV bundle is making a minor comeback – with an assist from YouTube TV. Next year, Google will introduce 10 genre-specific skinny channel bundles that combine broadcast and cable channels into a single YouTube TV package, The Wall Street Journal reports. For example, YouTube TV’s new skinny sports bundle provides access to FS1, NBC Sports Network and ESPN, plus broadcast channels. Other packages will focus on news and family. Such cable-esque channel bundles are nothing new for YouTube TV, which became a giant of the streaming era by bundling its service with other TV providers. But these skinny bundles reflect a new trend in paid TV, where platforms let subscribers pay only for the channels they actually want. Think of it as “cable lite.” YouTube TV says these skinny bundles will cost less than its full suite of 100+ channels, which runs $82.99 a month.  Here’s another sign YouTube TV is leading a cable comeback: In Q3, the number of viewers paying to watch cable channels grew for the first time in eight years, according to research by MofettNathanson . The quarter saw 303,000 net new subscribers to

An issue affecting YouTube TV subscribers today is leaving recorded content inaccessible, but YouTube TV has confirmed it is aware of the problem and working to fix it. Update: Google has confirmed that the YouTube TV bug that prevented the playback of recorded content has been fixed. This is fixed! You should now be able to access your recorded programs without seeing the “Restricted recording” or “go back” message Over the past several hours, YouTube TV users have noticed that the app is unable to play content from the recorded library. This appears to happen across mobile apps, TVs, and the YouTube TV website and says that the content provider (i.e. NBC, ESPN, ABC, etc) has “restricted access” to that content. The issue doesn’t appear to be affecting all subscribers, but it’s happening to a notable number of people. In a post on its forums, Google has confirmed that it is aware of this YouTube TV issue affected recorded content, but a fix is not available just yet. Google says: Hi YouTube TV Users,  We know some of you are running into issues accessing your recorded programs and our teams are working on it! If you’re experiencing this, you might
