Latest Google Discover Feature Allows Access To Liked Stories

A few years ago, Google introduced a sweet new feature for Discover users called the "heart" button. This button will allow you to give feedback on article recommendations. It also enhances your personalized experience. And now these pages have a special place to reside.

9to5Google, a recent Google Discover update will enable users to access a webpage called "Interests" which features three top tabs. If you want to use this feature, open the Google app on Android and tap the "Saved" icon in the bar at the bottom. This will take you to the Interests page that has three tabs: "Saved," "Liked," and "Followed."

Saved: This tab will show a list of videos and articles that you have bookmarked.

Liked: This tab has a grid of all the articles and YouTube videos you have hearted in Discover.

Followed: This tab will show a list of searches that you may be following.

To add an article or video to the "Liked" section you can simply tap the icon in the Google app while on the page in Discover. If you want to remove the articles and videos from the Interests, tap the icon again. The update is going to work on Android only. There is no word on when it might be available on iOS.

It may not be a big update as such but this tweak can enhance the daily content navigation experience. Google is encouraging the use of the "Saved" button as a convenient read-it-later service. You can also share your curated collections with other users which will add a touch of social to the feature.

Youtube's Ad Sales For Q3 Fy23 Surged By 12.5%

Youtube’s Ad Sales For Q3 Fy23 Surged By 12.5%, Reaching Nearly $8 Billion

All those pesky YouTube Ads are turning out to be a boon for YouTube. For the end of the quarter on September 30, 2023, tech giant Alphabet, the parent company of Google, reported a total ad revenue of $59.6 billion. The ad revenue touched $44 billion, which was brought in by Google’s search business, which marked a hike of 11.3 %. YouTube has generated $7.95 billion in ad revenue for Q3 2023. It has been a 12.5% increase from the previous year. The corporation has credited the positive outcome to brand and direct-response advertising. The total ad revenue for the company has grown by 9.5%. The ad revenue in the previous year had been a far lesser number- a mere 1.9% since 2021. At an investor call, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, reported that daily views for the short-form video platform have increased significantly. YouTube Shorts has increased in views to 70 billion per day. It was 50 billion earlier this year. He even added that the company is planning to introduce enhancements for Shorts, including AI-powered editing tools along with other features. In his statement, he said, “I’m pleased with our financial results and our product momentum this quarter, with AI-driven innovations across Search, YouTube, Cloud, our Pixel devices and more. We’re continuing to focus on making AI more helpful for everyone; there’s exciting progress and lots more to come." Google has registered a total profit of $19.7 billion for the third quarter of 2023. It marks a 46% increase from that of Q3 of 2022. The company’s total revenue has reached $76.7 billion (11%). Google’s cloud computing services, Google Cloud, have also seen an increase in profit margins due to increased business in AI training tools. It marked a growth of 22% year over year in revenue. Interestingly, Google Cloud’s performance in Q3 revenue of $8.41 billion fell short of investor expectations. It missed the planned  $8.64 billion. Alphabet is even facing an antitrust trial, where it has been alleged of monopolistic practices in search dominance. This has led to Alphabet’s shares declining over 6% in after-hours trading, despite YouTube’s otherwise strong performance.

Clash For Dr Disrespect And Ninja Over Multi-Streaming

Its A Clash For Dr Disrespect And Ninja Over Multi-Streaming: Report

Tyler "Ninja" and Herschel "Dr DisRespect" have had a clash on social media over multi-streaming. Dr DisRespect appeared to be insulting those who multi-stream on different platforms in a tweet. For those who don't know, Tyler is one of the most popular creators who actively simulcast on various websites like Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter. Dr DisRespect is known for his boisterous antics on the stream, and his social media posts reflect his on-stream personality. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, he seemed to be calling out creators who simulcast on multiple platforms, suggesting that those who multi-stream do it because they are not good enough for one platform. "If you have to multi stream, that’s because you’re not good enough for one platform,” tweeted Dr DisRespect on X. This happened to have worked, and Tyler came up with a reply, wasting no time. It was clear to the community that Dr DisRespect's post was aimed at Ninja. SypherPK, another streamer who multi-streams, tried to spark a playful exchange between the two creators by tagging Ninja in a reply. Ninja was one of the leading creators who openly multi-streamed. He ended his partnership with Twitch in September last year to stream on other platforms such as YouTube and Kick. Additionally, the renowned Fortnite star was one of the most vocal critics of Twitch when they introduced policies that prevented streamers from simulcasting. After the Twitch CEO's announcement at TwitchCon that the multi-streaming policy would be reversed, Tyler returned to his old platform as a partner. Given his public support for multi-streaming in recent months, it was inevitable that Dr DisRespect's comments would provoke a response.
