Three teens will be crowned ambassadors: "I feel it's really important to pass the mic to them."

YouTube's annual Rewind video was released Thursday, and has already accrued significantly more dislikes than likes from upset users.

The Swedish star, 29, has been involved in accusations of racism and anti-Semitism in recent years.

Having achieved success, some top influencers are deciding to disconnect from the video-sharing platform, worn down by what some say are the demands of YouTube’s algorithm for fresh content to promote.

YouTuber Simone Giertz gave up wildly popular but barely functioning machines and confronted her fears of imperfection (while facing her own mortality and making an awesome Truckla EV).

Forget lemonade stands. The big money is in children making content for children.

Popular vloggers are influencing how students learn and where they study. But are universities keeping up?

If you are confused by some of what I say on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, iTunes, Medium etc. you should read this article on why mindset matters. Everyday I put out content around the 25-47 themes I continually express. I’m always talking about gratitude, empathy, self-awareness, legacy, hustle, humility, and everything else.

YouTube is going to make it harder for small video makers to make money. The world’s largest video site will kick thousands of people out of its ad revenue-sharing program, and will make it much harder for new ones to get into the program. The change, which goes into effect today, is one of YouTube’s responses to a year of criticism it has generated for a series of scandals involving questionable and offensive content that has appeared on the site.

Guys .. This is a very special day for me. It’s the 12 year (!!!) anniversary of when I first began putting out content through my long-form video series Wine LibraryTV. It’s an important day for me to reflect and celebrate as it cemented so many of the core principles I still hold true today. First and foremost, I am not an overnight success. I am humbled, grateful and honored that most of you reading this have only just discovered me in the last 6-12-18-24 months, but in truth, I began putting out content long before that.

A new study finds that the odds of striking it rich on the video service, or even making a modest living, are tiny.

The video giant isn’t doing enough to combat its burnout crisis

YouTube’s creators do some soul-searching.

Youtube is littered with sketchy mass-produced videos made by automated bots, and Google is doing almost nothing to stop it.

No matter what it calls its shift in strategy, the premium scripted content game is all but over.

Vox has an explainer today about how YouTube automatically steers users toward deranged and conspiratorial videos, even if the users have started out with perfectly ordinary interests. This has been explained before, but it keeps needing to be explained because it’s so incomprehensible in normal human terms: YouTube’s algorithms, which are built to keep people watching as many videos and video ads as possible, have apparently followed that instruction to the conclusion, as Zeynep Tufekci wrote in the New York Times, “that people are drawn to content that is more extreme than what they started with—or to incendiary content in general.”

YouTube users are becoming increasingly frustrated with the platform's handling of copyright complaints. Legitimate videos are being claimed or removed based on false claims, either by automated mistakes or intentional abuse. Perhaps it's time for YouTube to hold 'abusive' copyright holders responsible for their actions?

This is a story about the question of who holds power over what we can say, hear, watch and read on the internet—an increasingly urgent issue that many ordinary people have cause to think about every day. And yet the protagonist in this story, the man whose fate symbolizes the future of social media and the corporate web that controls it, is unknown to the vast majority of educated readers. That man is PewDiePie, a Swedish comedian whose real name is Felix Kjellberg. With 77-million subscribers, he has the most popular YouTube channel in the world.

Instagram's attempt to compete with YouTube is looking a lot like YouTube more than six months after its launch.

A group of approximately 50 YouTube creators allegedly owed more than $1.7 million following the collapse of network Defy Media are unlikely to see that money. Ally Bank, one of Defy Media’s financial backers, tweeted a statement on January 25th following a video from popular YouTube creator Matthew “MatPat” Patrick asking Ally to give him and other YouTube creators the money they’re owed by Defy.
