🚨 MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: YouTube will start prioritizing original content and reducing re-uploads (RIP clipping)
YouTube has just announced one of the most impactful changes to its short-form algorithm. Its recommendation systems (the algorithm) will start to further prioritize original content and reduce the reach of content re-uploaded from other creators without adding anything of your own.
They highlight this shift toward originality, where channels with primarily re-uploaded content will see less distribution within the Shorts feed.
It also seems like they’re really trying to put the focus on content with real value, while highlighting that YouTube doesn’t want as many “minor technical edits” or “template-based” changes. Which is basically all that clipping was in this industry.
Overall, while this will piss off some people whose entire careers were built on the premise of other people’s content (mostly clippers), the change itself is amazing and will finally address the overall quality issue we’ve been seeing.

We just shipped an updated version of our native video editor -- cleaner, more intuitive, and much easier to use. As a video creator on 𝕏 myself, I’ve been loving it.
We also shipped one of our most requested features: editable captions.
You can now:
• Edit generated captions manually
• Ask Grok to correct them for you
• Tell Grok exactly how you want them changed -- including translating them into another language
Captions are one of the simplest ways to keep people watching, especially when so many people watch video with the sound off. More improvements to the editor coming soon.
Huge thanks to @alxkikalia & @i_aliullov for their work on this!

I purchased X Premium on September 16, but I still haven’t received the blue tick. When I contacted X Premium Support, I was told to contact Google Play Support. Google Play Support confirmed that the transaction was successful. @nikitabier @allegrajacchia @premium Read more

Don’t mess with 𝕏
Last week, @X sued several people who abused Creator Revenue Sharing by operating a coordinated network of accounts, posting inauthentic content to manipulate engagement, and using multiple bank accounts to hide their scheme.
We do not tolerate fraudulent behavior on X -- and will act forcefully to protect our platform and the earnings of genuine creators.

Nobody talks about how X.com is a lot more reliable now. Great work from their engineering team.

Will it run DOOM?
My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
