Highest income on YT ? Anastasia, at least, is already thinking of Plan B. She dreams of becoming a dolphin trainer and cat doctor. “I wish I had the answer,” Chas Lacaillade, the founder and CEO of child star agency Bottle Rocket Management, says of landing that elusive secret to success. “I’d be a wealthier man.” And who can blame them for cashing in? YouTube is working to limit revenue possibilities for children’s channels in response to a settlement with the FTC for allegedly violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act rule. YouTube’s first step is a ban on targeted ads for kids’ content that begins next year. It’s been said by creators that the new guidelines may also affect natural search results so children’s videos don’t appear at the top of Google searches. That’s a direct hit at potential earnings, which come predominantly from pre-roll advertising spends.
It’s difficult to call Once Upon a Time in Hollywood by a single genre, but then again, isn’t that the case with most Quentin Tarantino films? However, we’d be remiss to not include “comedy” when talking about Tarantino’s ninth venture. Brad Pitt in particular offers up a hilarious performance in the film set against the summer of 1969. In particular there’s one scene with a dog, some LSD, and a couple of Manson family killers… damn. That doesn’t sound funny, but we swear, it’s hysterical.
What’s funnier than seeing a man get hit in the junk? Apparently, not much, according to the 280 million people who have watched this video of a dad getting accidentally kicked in the crotch by his toddler daughter. The best part is listening to the mom, who is filming the scene, as she giggles behind the camera. Bad Lip Readings are always funny stuff, and the 2015 and 2016 NFL edits are the best of the best! The simple act of taking clips from athlete interviews and dubbing them over with ridiculously-weird subtitles is a surefire way to get someone laughing. Find additional cool movies on YT.
Best video for a song in 2019 ? One of the year’s warmest success stories: when Georgia released Started Out, the first single from her second album for indie Domino, at the end of 2018, it became a surprise Radio 1 hit. So did its follow-up, About Work the Dancefloor, prompting the label to push her album to 2020 to give the singles time to breathe. AWtD is a fine teaser for a record that is worth the wait, showing off Georgia’s newfound focus on songcraft and the depth of her references as a producer (the satisfyingly meaningless title is her tribute to the robotic proclamations of Detroit techno forefathers Cybotron). Lacing the juddering pulse of adrenaline with her vulnerable vocal delivery, AWtD puts Georgia in the big, Robyn-shaped pop leagues.
