Game Developers Conference is happening right now and you’d be forgiven if you mistook Unity’s latest avatar in the teaser Enemies for a real person! The new tech is so accurate, even wrinkles and blood flow are on point!  Lauren and Josh talk about Unity’s latest and whether or not the real time video game developer is too much for Western tastes?  And more importantly, will we still be able to choose animal-like or cartoony avatars? Next up is Instagram and its fancy new terminology to explain... we’re not sure what.  But it’s “deterministic” and Lauren’s all over it. The intention from IG seems good – wanting to give people options over their feeds, but maybe giving users control over their own feeds would be a better idea? Uhem, yeah! Wait till you hear the grades Josh and Lauren give for this well-intended roll-out. Surprising? Not so much.  Shopify has come up with linkpop. A new link in bio that connects you directly to all things Shopify. Brilliant? Our team thinks... well we can’t ruin the fun. Listen to the show. But is Linktree bumming out about all of this...Hmmm?  Either way, Tiktok has rolled out Stories, no one is shocked or surprised – if anything, everyone’s a little confused as to why it took so long. Josh shares his worries for the short form video platform and Lauren reminds him, “It’s not about you.”  Gotta love it.  Don’t miss Josh’s upload – it concerns Web 3 and someone who leaked their pitch deck. Ha!  We’re everything you need to know about the Creator Economy!  - From the Team at Creator Upload  Creator Upload Socials:YOUTUBEINSTAGRAMTIKTOK

Yes, you read that right – the White House reached out to TikTok Stars to help spread the message about Ukraine. The idea was to help inform creators about the US policy towards Russia. In doing so, the White House acknowledged that people are getting their information from these social media platforms. So, why do Lauren and Josh think this is both terrifying and genius? And what does Saturday Night Live have to do with all of it? I’m curious too! After wrapping your head around that, it looks like we’re really touching on the “madness” part of March Madness, in this episode. The NCAA suspends members of Kent State for talking smack against Akron and Josh and Lauren discuss - Did the punishment fit the crime? Was it actually a crime? Isn’t smack-talking part of the game? Lauren makes a valid point, “Do people really need to do everything online?” Hmmm. Instacart rolls out a recipe ingredient delivery service that would allow creators to link their TikTok videos to shopping lists. Even though it’s currently a limited program, the possibilities are incredible. Both Josh and Lauren are excited about this but they have so many questions. I bet you do too! We’re also breaking down Vimeo’s changing platform and what it means to Patreon and its creators. And of course, Josh and Lauren give you the info on Pinterest’s latest answer to TikTok, perhaps? Don’t miss Josh’s upload and listen for where Lauren says, “Internet. Love it, hate it, it’s complicated.” She’s not wrong! As always, we’re everything you need to know about the Creator Economy!   - From the Team at Creator Upload  Creator Upload Socials:YOUTUBEINSTAGRAMTIKTOK

Brandon Sanderson is a prolific author who basically bypassed his publisher TOR to self-publish his next set of books through his own company, Dragonsteel using Kickstarter to raise funding to the tune of $26M. Is it possible for anyone else to follow in his footsteps? Are we heading back to the days when creators can fund projects in substantial ways through Kickstarter and Indiegogo? Lauren and Josh talk about it. And, surprisingly, the answer may be exactly what you think.Yes, Amazon launched AMP.  They’ll compete with the likes of Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces, Facebook Live, Telegram Voice Chat, etc. But what makes AMP different is its access to a large catalog of music! Want to know how that might work for those with a pre-existing audience? What about that DJ who knows how to curate a great playlist?  Lauren discusses how it might all work, and why it could be a game-changer. They both dive a little deeper - imagine the possibilities if AMP is somehow intertwined with a live streaming space like Twitch? Whoa! Should Spotify duplicate this model?  It’s all pretty exciting! Also, YouTube wants to pay podcasters to upload the video versions of their shows. They’re offering grants of up to $300K and Josh is Bullish on the idea! But why? We also get Lauren’s uploads which include the D’Amelio family and Josh gives us the scoop on Snoop Dogg and his further venture into Gaming - FaZe. And yeah, did you notice Snoop’s necklace at the Superbowl? Me either. Josh, however, did. And he’s sharing the details. Did we mention, we’re glad you’re here?  We are! - From the Team at  – www.creatorupload.com   Creator Upload Socials:YOUTUBEINSTAGRAMTIKTOK

Curious what the natural evolution of a YouTube creator is?  Check out this episode where Joshua Cohen and Lauren Schnipper explain how the final stop and aspiration for any successful creator seems to always lead to LinkedIn. Best example that happened this week?  MrBeast joins LinkedIn and everyone wonders but why? Well, he wasn’t the first. Jessica Alba with the Honest Company, Ryan Reynolds with MNTN, - it all comes down to LinkedIn being the place where creators reach an entirely new audience and show their business chops. Josh says, "LinkedIn is the final creator frontier." It's a whole other kind of flex and we’re here for it. Josh and Lauren break it down. As always there’s the fun stuff: did you see Randi Zuckerberg's latest? Yup, they saw it too. Crypto Cringe-worthy or NFT fantabulous? You’ll have to listen and find out. At the end of the day, we’re all here talking about it, so maybe it worked? They also chime in on the State of the Union address - what does it mean for actual regulations on social media platforms that some have been begging for? Tiktok jumps in on the long-form 10-minute video - Lauren has real concerns. Hank Green had something to say about it too!  And, yes, Josh gives us his upload/download and all we can reveal here is it involves... South By Southwest. Everything you need to know about the Creator Economy!  - From the Team at Creator Upload         Creator Upload Socials:YOUTUBEINSTAGRAMTIKTOK

As always, we’re touching base on everything you need to know about the Creator Economy. In this episode, we’re catching up on what’s new with Facebook & Instagram Reels. Could it be Meta’s new answer to TikTok?  Maybe. We dive into how they plan on making it work - here’s a hint: monetization for creators that includes banner ads on videos. Do you know what Upfronts are? The New Fronts? We get the breakdown of where it comes from, how it came to be, and why YouTube is fiercely going after Television advertising dollars. Of course, the big interview with Danny Casale covers it all – the artist talks about why he calls himself an Artist above all else, explains his brilliant journey from kid YouTuber to the work he’s doing today and gives his take on how NFT’s can be lucrative for creators.  - From the team at Creator Upload  Creator Upload Socials:YOUTUBEINSTAGRAMTIKTOK

Snap is adding midroll ads to stories, will this work or be too disruptivesn? Spotter raises $200M from Softbank, but is that actually that much? And can they succeed? Lauren has thoughts. And more!Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Meta is on the defensive about threatening to leave the EU, Tiktok updates policy on everything from drugs, to misgendering and a million other things but Lauren is most surprised that they mentioned a "kids version" of Tiktok. Why is no one else freaking out about this? Snap's numbers are going up and Spring is getting into instant NFTs.Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Despite massive revenues, Facebook stock takes a huge dive after earnings call, YT earnings are relatively the same, MrBeast is going into food and doing major giveaways, Airrack got $3M to teach you how to be a Creator and Koji raises $20M to be the future of link-in-biosCreator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

YouTube just lost three very big executives who have been with the company several years (a couple of them 15 years!). At least two of them are moving into roles at crypto/Web3 companies. Are we sensing a theme here?!? Also, Hank Green lays out the argument for why YouTube is so good (it pays creators) and why TikTok isn't as good as it can be (it doesn't pay creators enough). Plus, Jellysmack is getting into the we'll-license-your-back-catalog-of-YouTube-videos-for-upfront-cash game with $500 million in tow. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

10% of YouTube's workforce is dedicated to helping creators navigate YouTube and their careers. That's a LOT! YouTube should be shouting that from the rooftops (or the pages of the Wall Street Journal - which they basically already are). Meanwhile, Kevin Systrom is probably laughing or crying that Instagram is now fully desktoppable. And the heat is turning up for Mark Zuckerberg, so he's getting out a name. Oh. We also made a (rare) mistake. So we corrected that, too. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Addison Rae's gender-swapping 'She's All That' redux was panned by critics, not liked by users of Rotten Tomatoes, and was watched by, like, a @#$ ton of people. So, Netflix did what Netflix does and booked her to a multi-picture deal because data rules everything around us. TikTok also overtook everything as the most-watched app per person. That's according to App Annie, which says the average US consumer stared at TikTok for 24 hours in the last 30 days. YouTube clocked in at 22 hours and change. It's all about the opportunity costs. Meanwhile, Twitter still wants to be more like Facebook and Reddit. Dave Portnoy is starting his own pizza brand. And Instagram sheds some light on how influencers get Verified. (It's not from bribing Instagram employers....anymore...allegedly...)Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Vine's co-founder spawned virality by confining everyone to a six-second block of video. Now he's doing kinda the same thing in crypto. Meanwhile, TikTok wants you to shop a LOT on TikTok, Twitter wants you to pay creators for exclusive content, Facebook wants you to play Fantasy Sports (but not with $$$), and Amazon is reinventing audio (Spoiler Alert: It's radio.). Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Crypto hasn't gone anywhere, UTA is partnering with the Creator commerce company, Pietra, to create brands with its clients, Tiktok is adding minutes to video which means ads are coming, IG is getting rid of the swipe!

Josh bought a Crypto Punk. Well, he kinda bought a Crypto Punk. And it was at a party. Well, it was kinda at a party. Let him tell you the story and also how one man is shattering the old-school, tech-journalism, pay-for-play paradigm along the way. Meanwhile, OnlyFans really wants to go mainstream, investing in creators isn't that difficult to wrap your head around, and YouTube is figuring out more ways to better answer your questions, which lead to more of your attention. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Fred Wilson is a prominent Venture Capitalist who Lauren may or may not know. Regardless, he this week wrote a very compelling blog post about the promise of crypto and the when, how, and why of crypto gathering mainstream adoption and how incumbent kings of the internet looks like they'll last forever, but then something like social NFTs come around and now they look like Ozymandias. It's a party. New nerd millionaires of the world are invited, but they want you to come along, too. Meanwhile. after nearly a decade post-Facebook-acquisition, Instagram is kinda cleaning up its platform. YouTube is cleaning up, too, forcing children's programming to be less commercial or face banishment from the de-facto babysitter of today that is YouTube Kids. Also, Under Armour just signed Nick Mercs, who is not a professional athlete, but is a professional gamer. There's some crazy stats to back up why that's a good move, too. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Corinna Kopf is a 25-year-old YouTuber and member of David Dobrik's Vlog Squad. She's also made over $4 million on OnlyFans in less than two months. But what's potentially equally, if not more interesting, is that there's a site called FanMetrics that's aggregating OnlyFans stats. Could be legit-ish. Could be shady. But it's getting about 2 million visits a month. Meanwhile, TikTok wants to be Snapchat and/or Instagram. But why? And YouTube is giving thousands of creators a month between $100 and $10,000, which is a lot of money in aggregate, but doesn't really sound like a lot the way they said it. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

YouTube, TikTok, and Amazon are all in different stages of their live ecommerce journeys, but one thing's for sure. If Asia is any indicator, this sector is going to be BIG. And it's going to be here sooner than you think. Meanwhile the future of gaming and LVMH (Louis Vuitton, et al) + Kering (Gucci, et al) + fashion houses at large are all intertwined. Both sectors like to contemplate the future and push the limits of what's possible in popular culture. It's a natural fit. Rhett & Link are also using their Daddys of YouTube status - and incredibly successful careers and business building acumen - to invest $5 million in creators. And TikTok may soon crown a new king in Khaby Lame. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be putting $1 billion towards creators through 2022. It's a lot of $$$, but it's also not really a lot of $$$ when you compare it to how much YouTube is paying out creators every year. Plus, Netflix is using YouTube as a farm league for kids content. And Nas Daily and The Bucket List Family raise $11 million and $10 million a piece to pursue their own venture-backed startup ideas. Also, Josh is still bullish on YouTube Shorts.

The NCAA just made it so college athletes can exploit their name, image, and likeness for personal profit. It's about time! The organization didn't want this outcome, but is getting ahead of the way the wind is blowing before the Supreme Court makes them. Expect an immediate land gram among managers, PR, agents, influencer marketers, and more. Also, expect a LOT more college athletes to be way more public online. Meanwhile. Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri says his platform is no longer solely a photo-sharing app. It's gotta innovate to keep up with massive competition (aka TikTok), which is also good for Facebook because it needs some competition to fend of the Feds. Head of Facebook App Fidji Simo took some shots at Apple, saying it's 30% take on the App store is crippling to creators. It's the latest public pop shot in an ongoing rivalry that's been years in the making. Also, YouTube put its name on a concert venue and Josh was quoted in the New York Times and told no one about it. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

You've never heard of Topper Guild, but he was just the most viewed YouTube channel in the world last month with over 3.2 billion views. Spoiler Alert: It's all from YouTube Shorts. Meanwhile, Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri is here to demystify the algorithm live every Friday. His boss, Mark Zuckerberg, is also getting active on Facebook being very "real" and totally "normal." Twitter is vying to be super pro-creator with its revenue splits. FaZe Clan teams up with an iconic contemporary artist. And there's more! Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

Alexandra Cooper got 100% control of 'Call Her Daddy's IP after a split with co-host Sofia Franklyn during a contract renewal with Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports. But now Cooper took her show to Spotify in a reported $100 million deal. Josh thinks it's going to fundamentally change the the way platforms do their contracts with creators. Lauren agrees. Obviously. Plus, TikTok - not YouTube - is going to the title sponsor of VidCon this year. Is it a big deal? YES!!! 100% But also no, not really. But maybe? And an AMAZING interview with Rami Perlman - aka LondonBridgeMusic aka co-founder of Space yacht - about the future of music discovery on Twitch, NFTs, and how indie artists work and play in today's hyper-connected media ecosystem.

Mark Zuckerberg is ALL about creators now, kicking of Instagram's first-ever Creator Week. Meanwhile, Instagram head Adam Mosseri reveals some intricacies of Instagram's algorithm. Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather made $$$ on their exhibition boxing match, but mostly from sponsors buying up nearly all available real estate. And Apple's got 99 problems, of which creators make up about 30%. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

An app you've never heard of is heralding the Age of the Creator. Meanwhile, brands are getting VERY good at getting viewers to buy products on TikTok, YouTube is paying out billions a year to the music industry (include $1.2 billion from videos created by users), a YouTuber is auctioning off royalties for his library content, and edgy YouTube channel Nelk will be your next alcohol tycoons. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

TikTok is ushering in a new wave of experiential virality not seen since the Cronut. Meanwhile, Snapchat is charting its own $500 million augmented reality path away from other video platforms. Instagram and Facebook are letting you hide likes and may never develop that app for pre-teens. And an original YouTube viral video just sold for over $750K. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

TikTok is going to help its creators get corporate jobs. YouTube is leveling up its Shorts game - to the tune of $100 million - to get itself into short-form conversations. TikTok is also playing around with having people pay for promo, but will it ruin the community vibe? And Jellysmack is now in bed with Softbank. Creator Upload Socials: YOUTUBE INSTAGRAM TIKTOK

YouTube is beating its television viewership numbers into the heads of any advertisers within earshot. And they should too, because a LOT of people are watching YouTube on TV. Meanwhile, Snapchat gets a LOT of Gen Zers to tune into its original programming. It's also launching a Creator Marketplace (a la TikTok and Instagram - obviously) to match brands up with creators and lenses. Will Smith is also doing deals with seemingly ALL the platforms.
