YouTube will no longer monetize duplicate videos

Take a stroll through YouTube and you’ll inevitably come across videos showing the same few minutes of footage, but hosted on several different channels with no discernible difference. Sometimes it’s movie trailers, and sometimes it’s a viral video, but YouTube now says it is doubling efforts to crack down on channels that try to make money off of duplicated content. In a blog post, YouTube explained how the new efforts will impact members of the YouTube Partners Program, which lets content creators apply to monetize their videos for personal profit. YouTube describes the duplicative content as anything that meets some or all of these criteria: Content, “Appears to be automatically generated; Pulled from third party sources with no content or narrative added by the creator; Uploaded ...

Shane Dawson wonders if Jake Paul is a sociopath in new YouTube docuseries

After weeks of anticipation, YouTube star Shane Dawson unveiled the first episode of his eight-part documentary series on Jake Paul. And Dawson has one major question: Is Paul a sociopath? Dawson—who has already produced well-received YouTube documentaries on Jeffree Star and Tana Mongeau—set his sights on Paul earlier this year. The episode opens with Dawson listening to a voice message from Paul in which he declares that he’s excited to be the subject of Dawson’s next series. “I’m putting a lot of trust in you,” Paul said. “If someone can do this and have it be fair, it’s you.” But Paul—who dropped his own video at the same time Dawson did on Tuesday, saying that fans should go into the series without any preconceived thoughts about either YouTuber—also sent out a warning to Dawson...

PeeWeeToms, whose real name is Daniel Thomas, has written that his disease is “a mixture of cancers all in one. Sucks to be me!” Late last month, he said his health was declining but he released a somewhat more upbeat vlog titled “Cancer isn’t taking me yet...

Some light existential comedy follows. But the “experiment” has crossed over to Twitter, where people are setting up their younger family members to believe they’re invisible. In one viral clip, two girls try it out on their cousin; they take a photo without him beforehand, then do the blanket “reveal.” The cousin laughs at first, but that quickly changes when he sees the photo. we took a picture ...
