Three members of YouTube travel vlogging collective High On Life have died after falling over a waterfall in Canada. The BBC reports that Ryker Gamble, Alexey Lyakh and Megan Scraper were swimming at the top of Shannon Falls in British Columbia on Tuesday when they slipped into a pool 30m (98ft) below.

Sony Pictures Entertainment endeavored to post a trailer for its limited-release film Khali the Killer on YouTube to encourage viewers to watch the movie on Blu-ray, on streaming platforms, and in select theaters. Instead, the company uploaded the film in its entirety—apparently by accident.

YouTube is a great video platform that has a lot to offer to both consumers and creators. At least, those who play by the rules. For creators, there is a major drawback though, one that put a spotlight on the alternative 'free-libre' software PeerTube this week.

YouTube creators are gaining a number of new tools to generate revenue from their videos outside of traditional advertising, as well as those that will help them better engage their fans, according to news the video streaming site announced today at the VidCon conference in Anaheim, California.

According to a study at Offenburg University, 96.5% of YouTubers don’t make enough annual ad revenue to reach the U.S. federal poverty line.

Several popular YouTube accounts, including those belonging to 'MIT OpenCourseWare' and the 'Blender Foundation,' have had all their videos blocked. People who try to access the videos are informed that they are not available in their country, suggesting that YouTube's piracy filters have been triggered. It's unclear, however, who or what is to blame.

James Bridle’s essay on disturbing YouTube content aimed at children went viral last year. Has the problem gone away – or is it getting worse?

Its algorithm is still punishing LGBT creators

‘This is all I’ve ever wanted. Why am I so unhappy?’

Vevo, the music industry’s attempt to create its own video hub, isn’t dead. But it doesn’t look very healthy for the company, which launched nine years ago. A series of moves over the past few months have removed most of Vevo’s reason to exist, capped off with the news today that it’s not going to run its own site or apps anymore. In essence, Vevo is going to stop pretending that it is anything other than a shell company that delivers videos from the big music labels to YouTube.

Google waited until late at night on a Wednesday to announce its new music-streaming service YouTube Music. That seems odd in itself, but now that the service is actually live something even weirder is happening: only certain people can sign up. Considering this new YouTube Music service has been in the works for at least a year, and also considering that YouTube already has a service remarkably similar to YouTube Music (YouTube Red), it’s a real head-scratcher as to why the launch of this brand new product is such a mess.

Jordan Peterson has become one of the most known clinical psychologist in less than two years. He has more than a million followers on YouTube and thousands of supporters on other social media channels. I'm finding out how was he able to get that much exposure and support from the marketing perspective.

YouTube is getting ready to a launch a new version of its music service — and at the same time it is getting ready to charge more to see originals shows like a “Karate Kid” spinoff. Background: Two years ago, YouTube launched YouTube Red, a service that gave subscribers an on-demand music service, more or less similar to Spotify or Apple Music — as well as access to original programming created just for the service. YouTube Red also removed ads from the world’s largest video service.

From Beyonce’s livestream at Coachella to landmark videos like “Despacito,” “New Rules” and “This Is America,” more than 1 billion music fans come to YouTube each month to be part of music culture and discover new music. It’s also where over 2 million artists come to share their voices and art with the world. YouTube is where artists and fans connect: creating and discovering a world of music.
