 Star Wars: Visions unveils its first stunning trailer After squeezing the Skywalker saga to the point of satiety and taking few risks with its latest productions (Hello, The Bad Batch!), Disney has decided to try its luck with a completely different bet: Star Wars Visions, a series of animated shorts designed by Japanese studios. Today we have had the opportunity to see the first trailer of this new format and we must admit that the result is simply spectacular. At the moment we don't know what will be the plot of these shorts, their duration or if they will be related to each other, but based on what can be seen in the trailer, each one will have its own characteristic animation style. Now, without further ado, I leave you with the trailer of the creature. In total, Star Wars: Visions will be composed of 9 chapters, each designed by a different studio. Here is the complete list: Kamikaze Douga - The Duel Geno Studio (Twin Engine) - Lop and Ochō Studio Colorido (Twin Engine) - ...

 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 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 wa...

 Marvel has revealed some interesting details about their new animated series, What If...? We knew it was a series of alternate storylines in which we would see different versions of Marvel's heroes and villains, but now it's official that these stories will be part of the MCU canon. And this is thanks to the multiverse that started from the end of the Loki series. "Canon" is a term used in the world of film and television, especially in mega franchises, to identify the stories and characters that are part of the main and official universe of that saga. Anything that is not canon is an alternate story that is not related to the main movies or series. Originally it was believed that What If...? would not be part of the canon of the MCU, but rather an alternate storyline, because of the stories that even involve zombies and a T'Challa that instead of becoming Black Panther becomes Star-Lord and is part of the Guardians of the Galaxy, among many other different stori...

 Dogecoin creator says cryptocurrencies are a scam Dogecoin co-creator Jackson Palmer doesn't spend much time on social media. After shutting down his YouTube channel and padlocking his Twitter account in mid-2019, this software engineer hadn't opened his mouth on any platform in years; not even when the prices of his crypto meme hit record highs earlier this year. That has been the case until a few hours ago, when Palmer briefly took to Twitter again to make an important reminder: cryptocurrencies are a scam and always have been. "After spending years studying it, I believe cryptocurrencies are an inherently right-wing hypercapitalist technology that has been built primarily to amplify the wealth of its proponents through a combination of tax avoidance, little regulatory oversight, and artificially imposed scarcity," he tweeted during Wednesday afternoon. Palmer went on to say that while cryptocurrencies' biggest fans often point to them as an equitable alternat...
