After a quick read of issue #205, it looks like it was an early test of a shorter layout. Sometimes experiments are born of creativity; other times, it's the necessity of the moment. This newsletter shows the power of the video recommendation engines after six months of hitting them hard. YouTube started as a site we would end up on from the links sent to us by others. Enough of those links clicked on will change your YouTube Home page and the videos it recommends. Now that we are a year in, we could do a separate newsletter on YouTube and the recommendation engine from our Home Page.

Big Plagiarism on YouTube
An interesting discussion on what is known as copy culture on YouTube. Austin Kleon does an interview with the Colin & Samir show, and they discuss plagiarism in our overly digitized world. A brief search reveals there are over 3 million videos uploaded every day. Watch for an exciting discussion, one that is similar to the talks on AI, trademarks, copyrights, and more. A real relationship with your audience continues to be critical in this discussion.

From our friends at Screen Junkies, it's the Everything Everywhere All at Once trailer. This is a movie that you may have to watch more than once. Lucky for you, the trailer, you can watch it as often as you like, but it only takes a few minutes.

A Motley Crue
Stereogum has a story about the Crue; there is a dispute between the band and guitarist Mick Mars. Given the biopics and books the members have put out over the years, how they remember anything is a wonder. Read more here.
