News on Youtube Aug 28 2018

- It is a pretty simple question

with a potentially terrifying answer.

How much YouTube do you watch?

By the end of this video, you'll have the answer.

Let's do this.

- [Man] vidIQ.

- [Woman] vidIQ.

- [Man] vidIQ.com.

- All right then, let's kick this one off with a question.

This is gonna be a fun one.

On average, how much YouTube

do you think you watch every single day?

We've got a voting card up here.

Do let us know.

We're gonna ask you exactly (bell chimes)

the same question at the end of this video

when you know the actual answer,

and it's gonna be fascinating to compare the results.

Welcome to vidIQ.

It is so good to see you, as always.

If this is your first time here,

we are usually the YouTube tool and channel

that aims to help you get more views in less time,

finding out how much watch time you have on your channel.

But what we're interested in today

is your personal watch time on YouTube.

Up until now, this has been a bit of a secret,

but YouTube have been developing

some digital wellbeing tools that want to show you

just how much YouTube you're watching

and whether or not you need to take some enforced breaks.

So let's see exactly how you can find out

how much YouTube you're watching.

Be prepared, this may be a bit scary.

YouTube announced this new feature on Monday,

the 27th of August,

and the next time I loaded up the YouTube application,

I was confronted by this notification.

So as with many features on mobile applications,

you may not get it immediately,

but YouTube are pretty committed to digital wellbeing,

so there shouldn't be any restrictions on it

and you should have it very soon.

When you press the Show Me button,

it will show you this Time watched screen,

showing you how much YouTube you've watched today,

yesterday, over the course of the week,

and your daily average.

As you can see, we were doing pretty well

until it got to the weekend

and we fell off the YouTube wagon.

Now, these stats aren't just here

to satisfy your morbid curiosity.

If you scroll down the screen, you've got some tools

to help you manage your YouTube watch time.

You can toggle on a reminder to tell you

how long you've been on YouTube

and whether or not to take a break,

turn off the autoplaying of the next video,

schedule a digest notification

so it only sends you one a day rather than telling you

when new videos are out on YouTube all of the time,

and even disabling sounds and vibrations from YouTube

during certain periods of the day,

say after 10 o'clock at night

and before 7:00 a.m. in the morning.

As of time of recording,

YouTube have only shown these features on mobile devices,

so it remains to be seen

whether or not you'll see this on the desktops.

Once you have this feature on the YouTube application,

to see it again, tap on your account profile

in the top right hand corner,

and you should see a new option that says Time watched.

Tap there, and again you can find out

just how much YouTube you're watching every single day.

Oh, and if you're wondering

how we make thumbnails here at vidIQ,

we literally just watch YouTube for seven hours

and I end up looking like this.

All righty then, I'm sounding a bit like Ace Ventura,

but it's time for the fun part.

You guesstimated how much YouTube you watch.

Now you know the actual answer.

Tell us the truth in this voting poll above

and compare your answers.

I am fascinated to know

just how much we are addicted to this platform.

Now, if this sort of video interests you,

then we've got another fantastic bit of coverage

on YouTube hashtags right here.

And if you want to know how to set a video location in 2018,

the rules have changed a little bit,

we've got a tutorial down here.

And don't forget, of course, vidIQ,

the number one Chrome extension

helping you get more views in less time.

Enjoy the rest of your video-making day,

and we'll see you on those videos right now.

How Much Money Did Logan Paul & KSI Make During The Boxing Match? - Duration: 3:59.

Hello Internet - and welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube - Life's

Biggest Questions - the place where we throw our inhibitions in a ring and let them duke

it out in all their glory.

As always - I'll be your vocal contender, Jack Finch - as we perplexingly purse our

lips, watch a fly buzz out of our wallet and ask the question - How Much Money Did Logan

Paul and KSI Make During The Fight?

Unless you live beneath a metaphorical rock, then you all know by now that on Saturday

25th of August, at the Manchester MEN Arena, two men stepped into a ring - and neither

were a victor.

Whether you think it rigged - a publicity stunt - or a strange incarnation of the two,

the fact of the matter is that the fight was declared a draw - with a two-thirds judges

majority being undecided on the technical outcome.

Dubbed the biggest fight in internet history - which, unashamedly, is actually true - this

particular money fight was only the first of two - with the second bout rumoured to

be taking place next year in the United States - but how much did these pair of young entrepreneurs

actually make in this colossal conflict?

If you're familiar with White Collar Boxing, you'll usually know that in essence - it's

a vanity fight.

Two competitors pay to get into the ring together, and they sell tickets to their friends and

family to watch them brawl - and everyone, generally, has a great night.

Well - the former isn't the same if you're KSI, Deji, or the Paul Brothers - because

this event was something that would set most professional boxers reeling.

The split their purse 50/50 - whichever way it went, both camps were set to make one hell

of a buck.

But - although neither party have revealed details about how much money was in it for

them - it's incredibly likely that both of them have walked away with millions after

the fight.

We do know one thing - fans wanting to watch the live stream had to pay 7.50 to tune into

the fight - with a staggering 800'000 people doing so across the globe.

We're no mathematicians - but that sounds like 6 million British pounds to us.

On top of that - KSI was stated to be taking 100% of the Manchester ticket sales - while

Logan will be taking all of the profits from their second bout in the United States.

It's been bounced around by several pundits and professionals that both camps could be

walking away with 30 to 40 million British pounds each.

We won't even take into account the insane amount of views that both KSI and Logan paul

have garnered during the run up to the fight - with the hype train at its terminal velocity,

SocialBlade indicates that either fighter has racked up anywhere between 10k to 60k

per video in the last two months alone.

Also - pile on top of that the merch sales, I know one particular fan at the LBQ office

who's sporting a fresh new KSI t-shirt - and those things aren't cheap.

Both KSI and the Paul Brothers were incredibly vocal about the legality surrounding their

fight - and the lengths that their teams would go to prevent people from illegally viewing

their Manchester based bout.

But as we know - this is the internet, and you can't put the toothpaste back in the

tube - people are gonna pirate it, guys.

An estimated "millions" of people tuned in to Twitch hijacks of the site, making off

with even more revenue for the fight's YouTube pay-per-view stream, so who knows how much

more they potentially could have made.

I guess we won't know until we hear it from the horse's mouth - but there's one thing

we do know, they made a shed tonne of money, either way.

Well - do you think it's deserved, folks?

Do you emplore the pair for their shrewd marketing techniques?

Is it the biggest cash-grab of the century?

Speak your mind in the comment box down below.

If you're a fan of this video - give it a great big thumbs up - or a thumbs down,

respectively, I won't hold it against you.

If you'd like to continue your questioning binge, feel free to hit that playlist floating

shortly above.

As per usual, I've been your host Jack Finch - you've been watching Life's Biggest

Questions - and until next time, take it easy.

What Can Your Genetic Portrait Tell the World? #PublicInterestTech - Duration: 2:47.

We use computers, we use phones, we use the Internet,

we see these things,

and so we have some kind of tangible relationship to them.

But when you go to your doctor

and they take some fluid out of your body

and then come back and tell you about it,

we don't see all the biotechnology that's happening behind the scenes.

We don't see the whole market in fluids and data that's behind that.

It's totally invisible to us.

Heather Dewey-Hagborg, take one.

I studied visual art alongside computer science.

And so my work is really trying to ask deep questions

about technology and how it functions and its impact on society.

In Stranger Visions, the question was

how much can I learn about a stranger from a hair.

I collected genetic artifacts,

so things that strangers left in public, like

chewed-up gum and cigarette butts and fingernails.

I extracted DNA from them and analyzed it.

And then what came out of that were these 3D printed portraits

that represented one genomic interpretation

of what a stranger might look like

based on their genetic material.

One aspect, was the kind of genetic surveillance aspect,

that there was this vulnerability of the body.

And then the second thing was this new technology

was emerging of DNA phenotyping.

DNA phenotyping is the attempt to create

an actual picture of a person's face

from nothing more than their DNA.

Two years after I exhibited Stranger Visions,

a company called Parabon NanoLabs launched

a product called DNA Snapshot

that claims to do just this—

to take DNA from a crime scene

and make a picture of "the criminal."

And this I knew from my work and Stranger Visions

was just not possible; it was too subjective.

There were many possible interpretations

of one person's face based on their data.

It wasn't this reductionist process.

Actually, it was complex and nuanced and messy.

The biotechnological universe is growing all around us all the time.

DNA phenotyping, recreational genetics,

databases like 23andMe and Ancestry.com,

GEDmatch, the criminal database.

We have to really radically think about

what it means to live in a time where there is no genetic privacy.

We have to be hackers.

We have to, like, DIY the whole thing.

I would really like to see more artists

and creative people working in

public interest technology,

making visible this kind of hidden world of biotechnology.
