YouTube Officially "Goes Porn", Will Twitch Join? - http://clapway.com/2016/01/19/youtube-has-hidden-porn-will-twitch-join-123/

YouTube has been hiding some porn on its website, disguised as ‘educational videos’ about content that could be considered explicit. Will Twitch join? Although the content itself is age restricted and will ask for verification, the fact this content is even available is questionable.


YouTube Has Cleverly Hidden Clips That are Very Rated X


The five most notable videos include: ‘How to Shave Your Legs‘, posted by Femhealth. The video starts out like any tutorial would, until it starts to display full female nudity and shots of a fully naked woman in the bath. The same channel has posted other videos like ‘How to Shave Your Public Hair’ that feature even more shameless nudity.


Another even more cleverly hidden video is an Irish skin cream advertisement. The video is titled ‘Elave Nothing to Hide Naked Commercial‘. It features New Zealand actress Tyler Jane-Mitchel and other male actors fully naked in full shots. It’s hard to say how exactly this video got past YouTube guidelines or how it’s still on the platform.


Beauty and Education Have Blurred Lines


Channels dedicated to beauty and wellness get away with a lot of stuff. One video that has escaped YouTube police by miracle features a man getting a Brazillian wax. The video is clearly marked 18+. As the title indicates, it’s a 30-minute long video about a man having his pubic hair waxed, and even shows him becoming aroused as the beautician does her job.  Another video features a woman getting a Brazilian wax, but also having her genitals massaged by a female beautician. This video is shot in full view, and it’s amazing YouTube hasn’t banned it yet.


Education is a nice label to hide under, but it can be a double-edged sword. One video titled ‘Tutorial: How to Put a Condom‘ can be really helpful, but this video is too explicit. It goes through the process of teaching viewers how to have safe sex and it’s not subtle in the least. This video is a little more vague in terms of whether or not it should be allowed. It’s safe to say that at least in American public schools, sex education is extremely lacking.


Other Platforms Like Twitch Might Be Hiding ‘Educational Porn’


Niche streaming websites like Twitch could also be hiding porn content. Twitch is a platform for video game streaming. Video games may also contain 18+ content. Some video games even revolve around this kind of raunchy content. Twitch guidelines regarding porn content are also vague. Platforms like this one could be hiding much, to be found only by those who know how to look.

YouTube and Facebook Beat Twitch Thanks to Motorhead - http://clapway.com/2016/01/07/youtube-and-facebook-beat-twitch-thanks-to-motorhead-123/

The death if Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister stroke many this past December 28. YouTube will be hosting the Motorhead creator and frontman’s funeral this Saturday, January 9. The actual funeral will take place in Hollywood, but it will be streamed to the entire world.


YouTube Mourns Lemmy Kilmister


Motorhead released a statement on Facebook announcing the event. Friends and family are invited to personally attend the ceremony at the Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery in Los Angeles. The post provided a link to the stream, and it will be running from 3 PM PST to 4:30 PM PST on January 9. This is 11 PM GMT to 12:30 PM GMT.


Motorhead Brings Fans Together through Facebook and YouTube


In the post, Motorhead writes that they’d like all fans to be a part of the memorial service. This is why they’ve decided to host a stream on YouTube. The band encourages fans to gather at bars and clubs or anywhere with an internet connection where fans can come together. The goal is to collectively celebrate Lemmy’s life and his legacy as a heavy metal icon.


Alongside the stream, Motorhead is hosting an all-day celebration of Lemmy’s life at the Rainbow Bar and Grill in LA. This was Lemmy’s favorite bar and was the original venue for the memorial. However, because demand was too high, they were forced to move down the Sunset Strip. Two other LA bars, the Roxy and the Whisky, will be open to fans while the private memorial is going on between 5 PM and 9 PM PST.


The Difference Between Facebook, YouTube and Twitch


Social media is shaping daily life every minute of every day. Facebook and YouTube are a huge part of that change. There’s no stopping the internet now. If YouTube had been as widespread by the time Michael Jackson passed away, it would also have been streamed worldwide.


The point is, YouTube and Facebook are monsters. Smaller social media outlets like Twitch, Periscope and Snapchat have a long way to go before they catch up to these giants. These outlets will only get stronger, and they will eventually overpower TV and the radio. We have nowhere to run.

Will Twitch Eventually Beat YouTube? - http://clapway.com/2015/12/04/will-twitch-eventually-beat-youtube/

Twitch has recently announced that they are launching their app on Android TV’s. They also said that they updated their mobile app with a more improved message functionality. This should improve their already amazing success. However, the question now begs can they beat YouTube?

THE STATISTICS FOR TWITCH


Twitch is an extremely popular and global video and streaming website. Their numbers back this up as well. They have their data chart public and any date can be seen on how it did on views. Over the last year, the chart shows that Twitch has accumulated over 10.9 billion views. Over the last month, they have accumulated over 852.4 million views. Daily views for them hover around 67 million. That is a ton of people viewing their platform. However, these statistics were accumulated before they released their app to Android TV’s. That number could continue to rise and it could, in due time, surpass YouTube.


THE STATISTICS FOR YOUTUBE


As of right now, YouTube still has them beaten. On YouTube’s site, they claim that every single day that get over 1 billion views. This means that they get over 1 billion views a day, and Twitch gets around 66 million a day. That difference is astronomical and they are not even close. YouTube also says on their website that almost one-third of everyone on the internet has an account with them and views their pages every day.


CAN TWITCH DO IT?


Given these statistics, it is going to be tough for Twitch to dethrone YouTube as the number one video service in the world. This news of launching their app to Android TV’s will help, but not in the matter of over 900 million users. For now, they should just focus on continuing their very good website. There might be one day where they dethrone them, but it will take some time.

You Can Now Stream Games via YouTube Gaming #YouTubeGaming #Twitch #gamestreaming - http://clapway.com/2015/08/27/stream-games-youtube-gaming123/

Google has an incredible appetite for anything it feels will be a great advertising platform, and YouTube Gaming is its newest product. On Tuesday, Google launched YouTube Gaming with great fanfare, and will compete directly with the game-streaming monopoly known as Twitch.

YouTube Gaming


Last year, Twitch put itself up for grabs. Everyone expected Google to hop on the prey, but it was Amazon who actually picked up the streaming giant for $970 million. It’s not known whether or not Google simply wasn’t looking to pay that kind of money, or if the company just wasn’t interested, but it did mark the beginning of YouTube’s revamp.


Read more stories about YouTube here!


YouTube went through a few key changes that were directly related to building a game-centric streaming platform. Google spent a lot of time building up YouTube’s streaming capabilities, and even included an option that allowed content creators the ability to upload video that played back at sixty frames per second (fps). All of those changes culminated to YouTube Gaming.


A Familiar Face


YouTube Gaming uses a color scheme that many will find comforting since it’s a mixture of blacks and grays; colors that are often used in games, Steam, and plenty of other platforms familiar with gamers. The main page has a variety of popular streams, and is flanked by featured channels on one side, and trending games on another. The latter is a great improvement over how YouTube used to handle gaming since you would have to search specifically for each game, and even then, the results were often a mixed bag.


YouTube Has a Few Cards Up Its Sleeve


Right off the bat, YouTube Gaming has a lot of advantages over Twitch. First off, YouTube is already an incredibly popular platform, and users are able to watch years of archived gaming content directly through YouTube Gaming. Which leads us to our next point: YouTube Gaming simply has a much better video player. Whereas Twitch’s video player is using Flash, a platform being made obsolete, YouTube uses HTML 5. There are plenty of times where Twitch’s video player simply doesn’t work, and Flash is usually the culprit.


One thing’s for sure, YouTube Gaming will be giving Twitch some much needed competition.

YouTube Gaming App and Website Is Being Launched - http://clapway.com/2015/06/14/youtube-gaming-app-and-website-is-being-launched-865/

As if Facebook making games for its Messenger service wasn’t enough in recent gaming news, YouTube has recently confirmed rumors that it will be releasing a gaming service. They’re calling it YouTube Gaming, and it will be both an app and a website purely dedicated to on-demand video games and live stream channels. YouTube will be joining an existing player in the field, Twitch, which is a well-established live gameplay streaming-only website with a strong following.


 YouTube Gaming app is 100% separate from rest of YouTube.


YouTube gaming is slated to have over 25,000 games, each with its own page. There will be hundreds of channels from a large number of game companies and YouTube video creators. Each page will contain all of the best live streams and videos related to that game.


New app is to have highly sought features tailored to gamers.


The YouTube Gaming app will feature 60 frame-per-second live streaming of channels. Gamers and fans of competitive gaming will be able to subscribe to channels and receive notifications of live streams when they’re about to start, as well as recommendations for other channels based on their choices. The search features on the app are said to be excellent, which is something one would expect when considering that Google, at the end of the day, owns YouTube and will own YouTube Gaming. The app will also feature a DVR-like feature, which will let users rewind live streams, and better chat moderation. Another new feature is a low latency streaming option, which is supposed to let viewers interact with streamers in entirely new ways.


 YouTube Gaming is part of an effort to correct a YouTube failure.


According to YouTube’s Ryan Wyatt, global head of gaming partnerships, YouTube “never really built gamers the experience they deserve,” with respect to live-streamed video. He tells us that the app was developed from scratch “for gamers by gamers,” and that now gaming videos won’t be blended in with a bunch of other random content anymore, necessitating lengthy searches. YouTube has stated that it will be launching YouTube Gaming in the United States and the United Kingdom sometime this summer.
