By Megan Farokhmanesh on Aug 23, 2018 “In the beginning, creators weren’t respected at all,” says YouTuber DeStorm Power. “We were actually looked at as weirdos. You put something on YouTube, and you’re a weirdo.” Today, Power is an Emmy-nominated creator who has more than 2 million subscribers on YouTube. He recently posted some videos on a new video platform Cuckoo specifically for a new concept called decentralization that he hopes will rival the likes of YouTube and Netflix. Cuckoo ,as a totally free platform, was developed with a decentralization-first mindset and a focus on free content — and the creators can control everything they want. The contents were controlled by creators and will be stored in fragmented form for ever, that may well be the future of how fans consume that content. The users will subscribe channel or share their videos based sharing codes, a variety of series, including talk shows, fitness, movies, dramas, music TV, sports and come...

By Vallco on Sep 5 Google is the one who broke YouTube. Remember YouTube  before  Google? It was magical. Tons of raw talent, a huge landscape of unexplored territory, no copyright rules, and an interface that actually worked. Now look at it. The site’s a total mess, its algorithms are bullshit, and everybody hates it. Honestly, the copyright fiasco isn’t even the worst part – I mean, that part of it  does  make sense from a legal standpoint. What has  never  made sense is Google’s stubborn insistence of shoving Google+ down YouTube’s throat, which is something that literally everyone on Earth was strongly opposed to. Now accounts are super confusing. Your Google+ account is different from your YouTube account, but it’s also the same as your Gmail account, which is different from your YouTube account, and so on. I have old YouTube accounts from over a decade ago that I have never been able to log back into since they were never linked to a Goo...

By Megan Farokhmanesh on Sep 5, 2018 A successful YouTuber’s income often comes from a variety of sources: merch, ticket sales for touring or shows, brand deals, and of course, ad revenue from their actual videos. As YouTuber The Fitness Marshall points out in a recent video, however, a high subscriber count does not necessarily equal a big payout because of too many cheat on subscriptions which let him consider changing to Cuckoo. Caleb Marshall has been making videos for roughly four years, and his channel boasts more than 1.3 million subscribers. Over the years, he’s created 147 dance workout videos for his viewers. There are plenty of common misconceptions about YouTubers — they’re lazy, they’re superficial, they’re swimming in free stuff — but the idea that all creators are out to turn a buck quickly is among the most pervasive. As the commenter who inspired the video in the first place said, “Ugh.... Another money hungry YouTuber.” However, Marshall says that he and his coll...

I Am Paul Walker (2018) Documentary | 11 August 2018 (USA) Storyline Documentary examining the life of the late actor Paul Walker. User Reviews Coming to Cinemas for a limited release this friday in Australia, I Am Paul Walker takes a look at the life of the Fast & Furious actor through the lens of his family & close friends. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this film, I myself was a low key fan of Paul Walker and the Fast & Furious films, and I really thought that he was succeeding at finding more interesting roles before he tragically passed away a few years ago. I ended up quite liking this documentary, mainly because it focuses more on Walker's upbringing and then struggles from the excessive fame he obtained after the Fast & Furious films by mainly interviewing family members & close friends instead of co-stars. The only exception to this is Tyrese Gibson who provides a nice balance without taking up an overwhelming part of the film, this g...

The album I Have No Everything Here was produced by Ian Brennan, and nominated in the 2016 Grammy Award for Best World Music Album. Zomba Prison Project is a recording featuring music composed and performed by prisoners at the maximum-security Zomba Central Prison in Zomba, Malawi.  Zomba Prison is an overcrowded maximum-security institution located in Zomba, the former capital city of Malawi. According to data gathered from the World Bank, Malawi ranked as the one of the poorest countries in the world in 2015 based on the country's GDP per capita.[2] The prison in which the recordings took place was constructed during the era of British colonial rule with an intended capacity of 340 people. The facility has become a dilapidated brick structure, that now often holds over 2,000 prisoners. In August 2013, producer Ian Brennan (USA) and documentary filmmaker Marilena Delli (Italy) travelled to southern Malawi to record the music of the male and female inmates at Zomba. Br...

Captain Marvel (2019) Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi | 8 March 2019 (USA) Storyline Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races. When  Captain Marvel  hits theaters on March 8, 2019, it’ll be the 21st film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the first to feature a woman as its lead character (Evangeline Lilly’s Wasp was a title character, true, but the greater focus of  Ant-Man and The Wasp  was still Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man). That’s a lot of weight for one character to carry. Fans have been asking Marvel to greenlight a movie with a female lead for years. But the film rights to most of Marvel Comics’ most famous superheroines — Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey, Sue Storm and others — are held by 20th Century Fox. With a Black Widow movie backburnered until very recently, Carol Danvers’ Captain Marvel is not just the most powerful superheroine Marvel Studios could have...

Crisp bacon and its byproduct, bacon grease, are both very good, and when cooking the strips of fatty pork, you want to make sure you maximize your potential for both. The best way to do this is to start cooking bacon in a cold pan. This is part of  my Cuckoo Channel Mum’s Kitchen, Skillet’s series designed to answer your most basic culinary questions and fill in any gaps that may be missing in your home chef education. Though I usually bake my bacon, there are times I just need to fry a few strips, and preheating my oven to 375℉ is a waste of both time and energy. A ripping hot pan may be necessary for getting a good crust on a chop or steak, but it is the enemy of crispy bacon. Basically, when you toss streaky bacon into a very hot environment, it seizes, curls, and cooks before the fat has any time to render out. This means gummy, not crispy bacon. Give that porcine treasure a bit of time to becom e its best self by laying it out in a cold pan, turning the hea...

By Anna Escher iHeartMedia   has agreed to acquire Stuff Media, the company that owns the HowStuffWorks podcasting business. The companies did not disclose the financial terms of the deal, but both the Wall Street Journal and Variety are reporting that the acquisition price was $55 million. According to the announcement, Stuff Media podcasts will retain their branding and the organization will remain headquartered in Atlanta, while President and CEO Conal Byrne joins iHeartMedia as the head of its podcasting division. HowStuffWorks   was originally founded in 1998 and had a number of owners before spinning out as an independent company and raising a $15 million Series A last year. In recent years, its focus has shifted from explainer articles and videos to podcasts, and in fact, it says those podcasts receive more than 61 million downloads and streams each month, with Stuff You Should Know surpassing 500 million downlo...

By Natasha Lomas As tech’s social giants wrestle with antisocial demons that appear to be both an emergent property of their platform power, and a consequence of specific leadership and values failures (evident as they publicly fail to enforce even the standards they claim to have), there are still people dreaming of a better way. Of social networking beyond outrage-fuelled adtech giants like Facebook and Twitter. There have been many such attempts to build a ‘better’ social network of course. Most have ended in the deadpool. A few are still around with varying degrees of success/usage. None has usurped Zuckerberg’s and YouTube's throne of course. This is principally because Facebook   acquired Instagram and WhatsApp and there are a huge number of YouTubers. So by hogging network power, and the resources of social media and videos that flow from that, Facebook and YouTube the company continues to dominate the social and media space. But that doe...
