Last night, at our annual Made on YouTube event, we announced a bunch of new features designed to help creators thrive. These new features will bring new opportunities for Creators in three key ways: 1. AI-Driven Creativity: Leveraging the power of Google DeepMind, creators can now generate dynamic backgrounds and even complete 6-second clips for Shorts, pushing the boundaries of what's possible creatively. 2. Global Reach: The expansion of Automatic Dubbing facilitates content translation into multiple languages, enabling creators to connect with audiences around the world, not just in their market. 3. Enhanced Monetization: New revenue streams are now available through Digital Gifts, which allow for real-time fan support, and the expansion of YouTube Shopping into three new markets. Exciting times ahead. To learn more visit the official Made on YouTube announcement. https://lnkd.in/eFsGCUSf #MadeonYouTube #Creators

Conversations about AI have dominated this years' South by Southwest. But many featured creators zigged where other speakers zagged. Some of my quick observations on the ground this week in Austin... 1️⃣ Streamers are making “micro-productions.” 2 days after I spotted him playing a "portable piano" and live-streaming on a street corner, Twitch CEO Daniel Clancy hosted a panel with some of the platform's biggest creators. The group expressed their desire to focus less on big content shoots and more on talking directly to their chat human-to-human. “[Streamers] are going to stay minimalistic in a lot of ways,” one panelist, Mizkif, observed. 2️⃣ Lilly Singh premiered her first scripted film, "Doin' It," in front of a packed theater audience. Singh—a veteran sketch comedy creator on YouTube—appeared ready for the moment. "The one thing that is always the same [between YouTube videos and movies] is that story is still the most important [part]...I’m like, ‘How do people feel when they leave?'" she said before the premiere. 3️⃣ Ahead of his "Death of the Follower" keynote Friday, Jack Conte told me that Patreon has learned "a lot" since launching free subscriptions and one-off digital good sales last year. "It doesn't matter if you want a subscription payment or to buy the extra episode or if you just want to talk about [the work] with others...we're for creators' true fans," he said.

I read YouTube's CEO Neal Mohan's letter for 2024. So you don't have to. Here are YouTube's top bets for this year: 🖌 Empowering Creativity with AI: YouTube is set to leverage AI to enhance human creativity, not replace it. With initiatives like Dream Screen for AI-generated backgrounds in YouTube Shorts and the Music AI Incubator, YouTube facilitates creative expression. 👧 Creators as Next-Generation Studios: Acknowledging creators' pivotal role in redefining entertainment, YouTube continues to support their growth. From enhancing monetization channels to facilitating global conversations, creators are at the heart of YouTube’s ecosystem. 📺 Innovating the Living Room Experience: With over 1 billion (what?!) hours watched on TV screens daily, YouTube is blurring the lines between traditional and digital content consumption. The success of YouTube TV and the integration of sports content in the US like NFL Sunday Ticket highlight YouTube’s commitment to becoming a household name. 🛡 Protecting the Creator Economy: YouTube places immense importance on creating a safe, responsible, and enriching platform. From investing in youth safety to ensuring the integrity of election-related content, protecting the community remains foundational. What I like about 🌍 Neal Mohan vision is that it underscores a commitment to innovation, community, and the transformative power of user generated digital storytelling in content generation. YouTube’s journey is far from over; it’s evolving, with creators, viewers, and technology still at its core. It's flipping the broadcasting model. But not everybody has got that yet. #YouTube2024 #DigitalInnovation #CreativeEconomy #AI #CTV #ads #FutureOfContent

YouTube: America’s Most Consequential Technology? Shira Ovide recently published a thought-provoking article in The Washington Post, highlighting YouTube’s unmatched influence in the digital landscape. And it’s much more than just a place for DIY videos and music! Here’s a closer look at why YouTube may be the most powerful technology in America: 🔹 Top Platform for Video & Music Streaming Did you know that more Americans watch YouTube on their TVs than Netflix? And when it comes to music streaming, YouTube outpaces Spotify and the radio. YouTube’s adaptive streaming technology enables a seamless experience across all devices, helping it dominate in both video and audio. 🔹 The Internet’s Healthiest Economy YouTube sets itself apart with its revenue-sharing model, where creators earn 55% of ad revenue. This approach supports a robust creator economy, allowing users to generate income and invest back into their content. It’s a win-win for creators and the audience, who benefit from quality content and transparent monetization. 🔹 AI Training Ground AI giants like OpenAI are tapping into YouTube’s vast video library to train their models, using millions of hours of video content. This practice has spurred important conversations on data rights and ownership, given the massive scale of content involved. YouTube’s data is indispensable in refining AI, pushing the boundaries of what these systems can achieve. 🔹 Underestimated Influence From content distribution to AI innovation, YouTube is a multi-faceted platform. Thanks to Google’s infrastructure, it handles data at an incredible scale, which is crucial for everything from user personalization to real-time recommendations. Big shoutout to Shira Ovide for uncovering YouTube’s deeper impact on our lives and its pivotal role in digital transformation. 🚀 It’s clear that YouTube is not just entertainment—it’s a critical part of our digital infrastructure, driving technological and economic growth in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

YouTube added a New Feature. and it's something I believe we all should chat about – especially if you're making videos on YouTube YouTube is stepping up its game in maintaining the trust between creators and viewers. 🛡️ In an age where seeing isn't always believing, YouTube now requires creators to be upfront about content that's been tweaked or completely dreamt up by our friend AI or any creative tools. Yes, you heard it right! Imagine watching a video and thinking, "Hmm, did that person really say that?" or "Did that event truly happen?" Well, YouTube's new policy ensures that if what you're watching has been altered in a way that makes you second-guess reality, it'll be clearly disclosed. It's like having a little truth whisperer, making sure we're all in the know. 💡 What's cool about this? Transparency, my friends! It's all about building a space where creativity and innovation are celebrated, but not at the cost of honesty. The next time you see a video with something extraordinary, check the description. If it's been altered, YouTube will now let you know with a nifty label.
