😵💫 TikToks de 20 de minute
Privind partea bună a lucrurilor: vor fi paywalled în noul program lansat de companie pentru creatorii de conținut, „Series”.
Impropriu spus program după logica mea deoarece, practic, aceste „Series” vor fi:
Niște playlists de 80 de clips cu o durată maximă de 20 de minute / clip, dublu față de maximul conținutului gratuit, 10 minute.
Vor fi shoppable: utilizatorii vor putea cumpăra produsele din clipuri respective.
Nu știu ce să zic - acum și 3 minute pare long-form content, dar 20 de minute înseamnă 9 stații de mers cu metroul.
Privind partea bună a lucrurilor, opțiunea pare a fi disponibilă la nivel global.

🤬 YouTube new profanities
Pe scurt, YouTube permite acum monetizarea cuvintelor precum „shit”, „fuck”, „asshole”. Cu limite pentru al doilea, dar totuși intră banii, mai puțini desigur.
