10% of YouTube's workforce is dedicated to helping creators navigate YouTube and their careers. That's a LOT! YouTube should be shouting that from the rooftops (or the pages of the Wall Street Journal - which they basically already are). Meanwhile, Kevin Systrom is probably laughing or crying that Instagram is now fully desktoppable. And the heat is turning up for Mark Zuckerberg, so he's getting out a name. Oh. We also made a (rare) mistake. So we corrected that, too. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Addison Rae's gender-swapping 'She's All That' redux was panned by critics, not liked by users of Rotten Tomatoes, and was watched by, like, a @#$ ton of people. So, Netflix did what Netflix does and booked her to a multi-picture deal because data rules everything around us. TikTok also overtook everything as the most-watched app per person. That's according to App Annie, which says the average US consumer stared at TikTok for 24 hours in the last 30 days. YouTube clocked in at 22 hours and change. It's all about the opportunity costs. Meanwhile, Twitter still wants to be more like Facebook and Reddit. Dave Portnoy is starting his own pizza brand. And Instagram sheds some light on how influencers get Verified. (It's not from bribing Instagram employers....anymore...allegedly...)Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Vine's co-founder spawned virality by confining everyone to a six-second block of video. Now he's doing kinda the same thing in crypto. Meanwhile, TikTok wants you to shop a LOT on TikTok, Twitter wants you to pay creators for exclusive content, Facebook wants you to play Fantasy Sports (but not with $$$), and Amazon is reinventing audio (Spoiler Alert: It's radio.).

Crypto hasn't gone anywhere, UTA is partnering with the Creator commerce company, Pietra, to create brands with its clients, Tiktok is adding minutes to video which means ads are coming, IG is getting rid of the swipe! What does this mean for the Link-in-bio industry which is hot hot hot and Vidcon is cancelled. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Josh bought a Crypto Punk. Well, he kinda bought a Crypto Punk. And it was at a party. Well, it was kinda at a party. Let him tell you the story and also how one man is shattering the old-school, tech-journalism, pay-for-play paradigm along the way. Meanwhile, OnlyFans really wants to go mainstream, investing in creators isn't that difficult to wrap your head around, and YouTube is figuring out more ways to better answer your questions, which lead to more of your attention.

Fred Wilson is a prominent Venture Capitalist who Lauren may or may not know. Regardless, he this week wrote a very compelling blog post about the promise of crypto and the when, how, and why of crypto gathering mainstream adoption and how incumbent kings of the internet looks like they'll last forever, but then something like social NFTs come around and now they look like Ozymandias. It's a party. New nerd millionaires of the world are invited, but they want you to come along, too. Meanwhile. after nearly a decade post-Facebook-acquisition, Instagram is kinda cleaning up its platform. YouTube is cleaning up, too, forcing children's programming to be less commercial or face banishment from the de-facto babysitter of today that is YouTube Kids. Also, Under Armour just signed Nick Mercs, who is not a professional athlete, but is a professional gamer. There's some crazy stats to back up why that's a good move, too.

Corinna Kopf is a 25-year-old YouTuber and member of David Dobrik's Vlog Squad. She's also made over $4 million on OnlyFans in less than two months. But what's potentially equally, if not more interesting, is that there's a site called FanMetrics that's aggregating OnlyFans stats. Could be legit-ish. Could be shady. But it's getting about 2 million visits a month. Meanwhile, TikTok wants to be Snapchat and/or Instagram. But why? And YouTube is giving thousands of creators a month between $100 and $10,000, which is a lot of money in aggregate, but doesn't really sound like a lot the way they said it.

YouTube, TikTok, and Amazon are all in different stages of their live ecommerce journeys, but one thing's for sure. If Asia is any indicator, this sector is going to be BIG. And it's going to be here sooner than you think. Meanwhile the future of gaming and LVMH (Louis Vuitton, et al) + Kering (Gucci, et al) + fashion houses at large are all intertwined. Both sectors like to contemplate the future and push the limits of what's possible in popular culture. It's a natural fit. Rhett & Link are also using their Daddys of YouTube status - and incredibly successful careers and business building acumen - to invest $5 million in creators. And TikTok may soon crown a new king in Khaby Lame. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be putting $1 billion towards creators through 2022. It's a lot of $$$, but it's also not really a lot of $$$ when you compare it to how much YouTube is paying out creators every year. Plus, Netflix is using YouTube as a farm league for kids content. And Nas Daily and The Bucket List Family raise $11 million and $10 million a piece to pursue their own venture-backed startup ideas. Also, Josh is still bullish on YouTube Shorts.

The NCAA just made it so college athletes can exploit their name, image, and likeness for personal profit. It's about time! The organization didn't want this outcome, but is getting ahead of the way the wind is blowing before the Supreme Court makes them. Expect an immediate land gram among managers, PR, agents, influencer marketers, and more. Also, expect a LOT more college athletes to be way more public online. Meanwhile. Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri says his platform is no longer solely a photo-sharing app. It's gotta innovate to keep up with massive competition (aka TikTok), which is also good for Facebook because it needs some competition to fend of the Feds. Head of Facebook App Fidji Simo took some shots at Apple, saying it's 30% take on the App store is crippling to creators. It's the latest public pop shot in an ongoing rivalry that's been years in the making. Also, YouTube put its name on a concert venue and Josh was quoted in the New York Times and told no one about it. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

You've never heard of Topper Guild, but he was just the most viewed YouTube channel in the world last month with over 3.2 billion views. Spoiler Alert: It's all from YouTube Shorts. Meanwhile, Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri is here to demystify the algorithm live every Friday. His boss, Mark Zuckerberg, is also getting active on Facebook being very "real" and totally "normal." Twitter is vying to be super pro-creator with its revenue splits. FaZe Clan teams up with an iconic contemporary artist. And there's more! Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Alexandra Cooper got 100% control of 'Call Her Daddy's IP after a split with co-host Sofia Franklyn during a contract renewal with Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports. But now Cooper took her show to Spotify in a reported $100 million deal. Josh thinks it's going to fundamentally change the the way platforms do their contracts with creators. Lauren agrees. Obviously. Plus, TikTok - not YouTube - is going to the title sponsor of VidCon this year. Is it a big deal? YES!!! 100% But also no, not really. But maybe? And an AMAZING interview with Rami Perlman - aka LondonBridgeMusic aka co-founder of Space yacht - about the future of music discovery on Twitch, NFTs, and how indie artists work and play in today's hyper-connected media ecosystem.

Mark Zuckerberg is ALL about creators now, kicking of Instagram's first-ever Creator Week. Meanwhile, Instagram head Adam Mosseri reveals some intricacies of Instagram's algorithm.

And Apple's got 99 problems, of which creators make up about 30%. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

An app you've never heard of is heralding the Age of the Creator. Meanwhile, brands are getting VERY good at getting viewers to buy products on TikTok, YouTube is paying out billions a year to the music industry (include $1.2 billion from videos created by users), a YouTuber is auctioning off royalties for his library content, and edgy YouTube channel Nelk will be your next alcohol tycoons.

TikTok is ushering in a new wave of experiential virality not seen since the Cronut. Meanwhile, Snapchat is charting its own $500 million augmented reality path away from other video platforms. Instagram and Facebook are letting you hide likes and may never develop that app for pre-teens. And an original YouTube viral video just sold for over $750K.

TikTok is going to help its creators get corporate jobs. YouTube is leveling up its Shorts game - to the tune of $100 million - to get itself into short-form conversations. TikTok is also playing around with having people pay for promo, but will it ruin the community vibe? And Jellysmack is now in bed with Softbank. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

YouTube is beating its television viewership numbers into the heads of any advertisers within earshot. And they should too, because a LOT of people are watching YouTube on TV. Meanwhile, Snapchat gets a LOT of Gen Zers to tune into its original programming. It's also launching a Creator Marketplace (a la TikTok and Instagram - obviously) to match brands up with creators and lenses. Will Smith is also doing deals with seemingly ALL the platforms.
