This video sharing platform has an interesting model, relying on politicians and celebrities to fund their videos and creators to post new content. Here are a few ways you can get the latest news on YouTube. 1. Subscribe to channels run by famous people. If they produce new content, they will announce it on their channel. Subscribers will also see the new video right away.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_is_a_unique_place_to_get_news\"><\/span>YouTube is a unique place to get news<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for new sources for news, YouTube is a great place to start. A recent study found that people get as much news on YouTube as they do from traditional news sources. However, it&#8217;s worth noting that independent channels can be just as reliable. While this may not be the case for traditional news sources, you can find great news on YouTube if you keep an eye out for the right channels.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s unique environment also helps independent news creators thrive alongside established news organizations. For example, independent channels are more likely to be person-centered, featuring a certain personality, and they&#8217;re more likely to seek donations directly from viewers. In December 2019, independent channels were more likely to mention conspiracy theories than news organization channels, and they&#8217;re more likely to have a negative tone than other types of content. Despite the diversity of the news environment on YouTube, a few independent channels do stand out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_relies_on_celebrities\"><\/span>It relies on celebrities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While traditional media are struggling to survive in an age where the internet is exploding with new content and celebrities, YouTube has also made it easier to stay up-to-date with the latest news. Not only are these celebrities able to draw new audiences, but they&#8217;ve also become commodities in their own right. While many outlets have criticised YouTube celebrities, others present them as bastions of professional practice and integrity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_relies_on_politicians\"><\/span>It relies on politicians<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to a study published on YouTube, the most popular source of news videos was the media. However, the second most common source of news videos was prominent Republican or Democrat figures. Independent channels were much less likely to cite politicians as sources of news. That said, YouTube is an important source of news, and the news media is one of the most influential sources. However, the news media is also a source of opinion.<\/p>\n<p>In September, the Biden campaign outspent the Trump campaign on YouTube, which often ranks first in lists of top websites visited by U.S. adults. Given that YouTube is now the most popular website on the internet, 2020 may be the perfect time for the Biden campaign to match up with Trump on the platform. As a platform, YouTube has become a hub of disinformation, especially during election season. It is also the primary source of conspiracy theories and extreme commentary. Even the recommendations made by YouTube users can fuel conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_relies_on_Patreon_to_fund_creators\"><\/span>It relies on Patreon to fund creators<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With YouTube&#8217;s recent focus on creators, the company has been looking at alternative ways to support them. Other online platforms, like Etsy, are also being used by creators to make extra cash. This is why many Etsy sellers shut down their shops earlier this year in protest of rising fees. Luckily, YouTube has an alternative revenue stream that works for creators, and it&#8217;s one that&#8217;s likely to continue growing.<\/p>\n<p>Creators using Patreon can make anywhere from $1 to $1000 per month, depending on how many subscribers convert into paying patrons. The vast majority of Patreon creators earn anywhere from $1 to $100 per month. Although Patreon is gaining popularity in the video sharing community, it&#8217;s not without controversy. It&#8217;s been the subject of numerous complaints about content and payment issues. In May, the service banned controversial YouTuber Carl Benjamin, and also banned accounts deemed to be affiliated with conservative hate groups.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_place_for_political_radicalization\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a place for political &#8220;radicalization&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The New York Times recently ran an expose on YouTube&#8217;s growing role as a source of radicalization. The video site is now a favored source for far-right ideas, and its two billion monthly active users have a relatively low threshold for finding videos. Far-right personalities are easy to find on YouTube, and the social network is rewarded for provocative videos with advertising dollars. To combat the rise of right-wing extremism on the site, YouTube must do more to protect its users from becoming radicalized.<\/p>\n<p>The findings of the study show that YouTube is a platform for political &#8220;radicalization&#8221; by far-right and far-left viewers alike. However, the study cannot completely rule out the presence of online radicalization. It simply suggests that fringe ideas are part of a larger community, and that the aforementioned trend may have been overly broad. But this doesn&#8217;t mean that YouTube should be ignored.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"408\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w_Ma8oQLmSM\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"228\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Get the Latest News on YouTube?
