[Translate] YouTube’s latest update is the most hated change in the seven-year history of the video-sharing website. The design change, which focuses on smaller fonts, and a mix of subscribers versus partner videos in the timelines of viewers, and other small changes like putting the video title at the bottom of the video and not the top of it as before,...
[Translate] Ok. What would you do if you were in this situation: an elevator with flickering lights, and a little girl who seems to appear out of nowhere, but really walks in to the elevator via a hidden door on the side? If it happened to this vlogger, I’d grab the little girl and say “I’m not letting you go until I get out of this elevator,...
[Translate] Bristol Palin, the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and a reality TV show star, just won a defamation lawsuit filed against her. The win, reported by TMZ.com, may open the door for a clarification of the rights of YouTube Partners. I saw that because of the reasons stated for why the lawsuit was thrown out of court. What happened was...

[Translate] Robert Kyncl, YouTube Global Head of Content, gave a great speech at MIPCON 2012 that’s very much like the one he gave at CES 2012 Las Vegas.

In other words, you can produce a viral video without spending a dime and make a good...

When this vlogger became a YouTube Partner in 2008, and thus able to earn money from video traffic via Google AdSense, YouTube’s online ad placement system, there was no built-in system of data collection so I could fine-tune...

Watch this three-video segment that consists of a 2009 interview of me by “Christina Marie,” then the host of a cable show called SF Live, and also known as Christina Marie Flores, the former girlfriend of now-suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi.

[Translate] Is the viral video dead? In installing an algorithm to favor “engagement” over clicks, and seemingly in response to the “Reply Girls” controversy, where two women specialized in making videos that were responses to the most popular videos on YouTube. The problem is that, in making this change, YouTube has damaged the dollar...
[Translate] A number of YouTube Partners, including this video blogger, have complained of a sudden and dramatic decrease in revenue starting in late December (though Zennie62′s decrease has not been as great as most). The place for the complaints, the YouTube Partner Forum, is packed with complaints like this one: Hello I am not a youtube “partner” but my youtube account is monetized and has been getting about 8 to 10k views consistently over the past month. I got 12k views on Sunday, and then the views declined...
[Translate] Melissa Kellerman Melissa Kellerman is a name brand-new to pop culture, but it looks like The Dallas Cowboys aren’t happy about it. Whatever the Cawboys’ thinking is, if it could be called that, it’s resulted in the robbing of a lot of potential cash from the pocket of their Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.
