 YouTube will pay its users for uploading content to Shorts


TikTok is often talked about as Facebook's big competitor, but YouTube is also seeing eye to eye.

Neal Mohan, YouTube's chief product officer, was on one of The Verge's podcasts to talk about the $100 million fund with which the company will begin compensating content creators who use YouTube Shorts this month.
YouTube will pay its users for uploading content to Shorts



YouTube Shorts is a YouTube-integrated platform for uploading short videos with a limited duration of up to 60 seconds. It was announced in September 2020 and functions as a TikTok section within YouTube. In fact, many of the videos that are shared on Shorts are re-uploaded from TikTok.

To avoid this and boost the creation of original content on Shorts, YouTube will pay creators up to $10,000 per month for making videos for the platform. The exact amount users receive will depend on the number of plays and the location of their audience, but YouTube will require that videos are original: if a user uploads watermarked videos from other platforms (such as TikTok, Snapchat or Instagram Reels), their channel will be demonetized.

For now, payments are only available in 10 regions (United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Japan, Nigeria, Russia and South Africa), but YouTube plans to expand the list "in the future" to eventually implement a new monetization system.

Last month, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook planned to invest more than $1 billion by 2022 to "reward creators" of content, incentivizing them not to jump ship in favor of TikTok, Twitch, Snapchat or YouTube itself. Ears to the wolf.

Wasps are building fluorescent nests

 Wasps are building fluorescent nests A team of scientists say they have come across the first known case of animals building fluorescent houses. In a new study, they detail the finding of nests built by certain species of wasps that glow green under exposure to ultraviolet light. What's more, wasps of the same family in other parts of the world also appear capable of creating similarly creepy structures. The discovery occurred during an expedition to northern Vietnam, but not intentionally, according to the scientists. Study author Bernd Schöllhorn, a professor of chemistry at the University of Paris, told Live Science that they traveled with ultraviolet lights in the hope of stumbling upon any fluorescent bugs after dark. Instead, they found wasp nests with cocoons (woven silk structures that cover the nest and keep the larvae safe) that emitted a bright mucus-green glow when exposed to ultraviolet light between 360 and 400 nanometers wavelength at night. Like any good researche...

The 17-century-old ring rescued from the bottom of the sea

 The 17-century-old ring rescued from the bottom of the sea In the first centuries, Christianity was a clandestine and persecuted religion. They represented Jesus as a shepherd boy with a sheep on his shoulders. This representation of Christ was also an imitation of Apollo. It was a way of evading Roman censorship. A jewel with this figure was found in the sea. It is the ring of 17 centuries rescued from the bottom of the sea. Underwater treasure On the ring, the figure of Christ is carved on a green gemstone. The piece is part of an underwater find. It is a treasure that includes Roman and medieval silver coins. They date back to the 3rd century. Israeli authorities found it. Robert Kool is head of the country's coin department. He said the ring is an "exceptional" piece. Possibly the set found came from "a Roman ship originating in Italy". The treasure was discovered by a group of archaeologists from Israel's Marine Archaeology Unit. There are bells, nails...

Chinese military satellite disintegrates into more than 20 parts after collision with Russian space debris

 Chinese military satellite disintegrates into more than 20 parts after collision with Russian space debris The mysterious malfunction of the Yunhai 1-02 satellite in March may have been resolved. The discarded wreckage of an old Russian rocket appears to have crashed into the Chinese satellite, in what is an ominous sign of things to come in our increasingly crowded low Earth orbit. On March 22, 2021, the U.S. Space Force's 18th Space Control Squadron posted a startling tweet announcing that Yunhai 1-02, a Chinese military satellite launched in September 2019, had broken up. The breakup occurred four days earlier, and it was unclear why this less than two-year-old satellite suddenly experienced a calamitous malfunction. In its tweet, the Space Force squadron said its "analysis is ongoing" and that it would track down the 21 pieces of newly created debris. #18SPCS has confirmed the breakup of YUNHAI 1-02 (#44547, 2019-063A), which occurred on March 18, 2021, at 0741 UTC...
