Why YouTube's Featured Content Tool is Ending - Duration: 1:14.Welcome to another episode of vidIQ Shorts.
60 seconds.
One topic.
Let's go
If you've ever watched a YouTube video I'm sure you've seen this mini ad.
It's called featured content, it's been around for years but it's now time to say goodbye.
On the 14th December featured video and playlists will, to quote YouTube, 'be going away'.
The reason this decision has been made is because YouTube say viewers are 20 times more
likely to close these promotions than click them.
This tool has been part of the channel tab under featured content in the YouTube creator
studio, and it's unclear right now whether the channel ad tool will remain.
You may have also noticed that we have now removed the shortcut to this page from our
tool button in the video manager section of the creator studio.
So what do you use instead?
First up you have video cards that allow you to post links to videos, playlists and post
voting polls anywhere in the video and you have endscreen cards that can appear in the
last 20 seconds of your videos.
For tutorials on these checkout out our links right now

going to be looking at some first things on the internet.
So you know one thing that won't be in this video, me actually being cool for
once. So let's get into it. The first tweet. The dawn of making interesting and
salient points in 140 characters or less can be traced back to this one tweet in
2006 by co-founder Jack Dorsey. Jack Dorsey more like Jack door Jack Jack
door door ah crap I was trying is something funny to say
whatever let's move on the first ad spam this was in 1994 and boy have we come a
long way since then no boobs are you want an iPad even on us why would
anybody click on that oh shit dude there's a hot girl in my area the first
Amazon product sold was a copy of Hofstadter's fluid concepts on creative
analogies I mean with a title like that how could it not be but seriously guys I
bet you the first thing sold on Amazon was like a big bunch of dildos there
just keep me under wraps the first thing sold on eBay was a
broken laser pointer when the buyer was asked why the hell would you want to buy
a broken laser pointer he said I'm a collector of broken laser pointers
because that's a thing apparently the first dot-com was
symboliks calm
and that's really boring the very first BuzzFeed article was an article about
the videogame a local Roco I mean without BuzzFeed how would you
take a quiz on what type of cucumber you are on the top 24 happiest Cup faces but
that's why they're making the big books and we're setting the home jerking it to
hentai oh no I've been hacked someone call the
police someone call the internet police the first Instagram picture was a
picture of Kevin sighs drums puppy taken in 2010 thank you for all the duck faces
hot dog legs and Kardashian pictures you forced on humanity my friend
the first photo on the web was of a rock group known as lai horrible sir Nets
they were a parody group of scientists from the CERN project as a parody
scientist group with songs titled liquid nitrogen
daddy's lab my sweetheart is a Nobel Prize and a microwave love their songs
are about as nerdy as you would expect
you always promise but she never dates me
I try to fax but it's busy always
I try the network but she tries the gateway
the first YouTube video was uploaded in 2005 by co-founder jawed Karim alright

PodCon Recommends Books [CC] - Duration: 6:21.Hi, YouTube, it's Kathy. Happy Bookmas. Over the past weekend, while I was at the
first annual - hopefully - PodCon, I made a challenged myself to ask strangers for book recommendations
and my TBR has gotten so much longer because of it.
In a second I'm going to let you see their book recommendations directly from them
but as a note, you might want to turn on the closed captions because convention
spaces are loud spaces and you might not be able to understand them at certain points.
Hi, I'm Sara. Um, I would recommend Brandon Sanderson's Words of Radiance series
because, oh gosh, it's a super great fantasy story and the magical system was
was based on light infused [gemstones]. So it's really cool.
Hi, my name is Aaron and I just read the book Star Wars From a Certain Point of View.
I have always loved the Star Wars universe and this book is basically 40 short stories of all the
background characters from Star Wars A New Hope. It's written by 43 different authors
including people like Griffin McElroy, Matt Fraction, Kelly Sue DeConnick, people I love.
So I was really excited. They are not all perfect but there are some really good entries,
uh, really flesh out the characters, and, like, bring life to the background scenes that I found appealing.
My name is Carianne. I recommend that you read False Memory by Dean Koontz.
It's a great psychological thriller and you'll enjoy it 'til the very end.
Hi, my name is Nicola. My book recommendation would probably be The Ocean at the End of the Lane
by Neil Gaiman.
I'm sure other people would recommend it. It's and amazing, like piece of, like, magical realism.
Urban fantasy but more in a rural setting so rural fantasy which, I don't know if that's explored as much in
fiction these days. I mean, Neil Gaiman is an amazing writer. Um.
The characters are interesting, the world that he creates is, like, so down-to-earth
while having these, like, magical tones to it.
And I love it. Yup. Thank you.
Hi, my name is Sarah and my book recommendation would be The Eyre Affair
by Jasper Fforde. Um, if you like classic literature mixed with the alternate history mixed with scifi, this is gonna
be right up your alley, and it's the first book in an amazing series.
Hi, my name is Hannah and I'm recommending the book So Yesterday by
Scott Westerfeld. It's a book about a couple of teenagers running around
New York and it introduced me to the Missing Black Women Information concept - look it up!
My name is Megan and I recommend The Golden Spruce by John Vaillant.
It's a non-friction story about a very special tree in the Pacific Northwest on Haida Gwaii
that was felled as an act of protest against the logging industry.
It's a really interesting story and it's important to the Pacific North West.
Hi my name is Karin, and we're here at PodCon, and I am recommending
Hold Me Closer, Necromancer because it takes place here in the Seattle area.
It references some of the suburbs here. It's a fantasy, kind of urban fantasy
sort of story. I enjoyed it a lot I read it a couple of months ago and I highly recommend it.
Hi my name is Mari and I recommend reading the Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
An excellent book - also a NaNoWriMo winner if you're into that.
Hello, I'm Rachel, and I recommend Fahrenheir 451 because even though it was assigned reading,
it's still really interesting and you should actually give it a try.
Hi, I'm Bryce Pizano and I recommend The Gunslinger by Stephen King.
It's classic. It's one of his first books outside the horror genre and it's just so good and emotional.
And awesome in general.
Hi, my name is Nick Jenkins and I recommend House of Heaves by
Mark Z. Danielewski. It's a weird book.
Hi, I'm Danielle, and one of my favorite books is The Beauty Detox Solution by Kimberly Snyder.
It has a whole bunch of awesome, delicious vegan recipes those are super delicious.
My name is Danielle, from Brooklyn, NY. I recommend The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
because it's a great book, one, for young adult audience but two, a great look at what's going on in our
world today, told through the eyes of a teenager experiencing it in real time.
And told in a way that connects to readers.
My name's Jeremy. I'd recommend Dawn of Wonder. If you like Sanderson or Patrick Rothfuss,
he writes kind of the same style. A very interesting story told the view of a kid and there's multiple storylines
going on, so great character development and great story.
My name is Achmed Abdul Hamid and my favorite book in the world is
To Kill a Mockingbird. I read it when I was in fifth grade for class. I fell in love with it.
I have never found a book that's taken it's place in my heart. It's a book I read over and over again and
I'm always happy and surprised the things new I learn from it.
I'm gonna recommend The Secret History
by Donna Tartt. She has three books out. the Secret History being the first one,
and it's basically what happens when a bunch of bored classic students at college decide they
want to um... recreate the antics of Dionysus. And hijinks ensue, and people die and it's a fun read.
Hey guys, it's Amara, of Amara in Seattle and book that I am recommending is a book by a local author,
in Edmonds, Rick Steves, who's known for doing a PBS TV show but he wrote a book called
Travel as a Political Act, which has really, really good thoughts about how when you travel,
you represent the place you're from and that you should think about representing
that as being part of the global community, and that's something I'm
really passionate about. So I think it's a good book. It has a good, quotable stuff
and it's easy to read because it goes with, like, a whole PBS series. So there you go.
There you have it. My shy was definitely acting up on the second day, so I didn't get as
many recommendations as I was hoping for, but I definitely got quite a few.
Have you read any of these books and do you also recommend them? Let me know about it
down in the comments below. On the way down to the comments, if you hit the
Subscribe button, that would be very nice of you. You can like and share this as
you see fit and I will see you tomorrow for more Bookmas. Bye!

Astounding Facts About FOOD WASTE - Duration: 20:12.Climate change is a serious problem – probably the most dangerous predicament humanity has
ever been in.
And every second that goes by and we're not doing anything about it, the more dangerous
things are going to become, and the harder it will be to fix them.
But let's not kick off this list on such a gloomy note, and instead look at what can
be done to change that.
The answer is as simple as what caused all of this in the first place – namely, the
little things.
Slight tweaks in our habits can go a long way, without us having to revert to a pre-Industrial,
18th century-lifestyle to get there.
And yes, we are on topic here, in case you were wondering.
Some call this the Age of Efficiency, in which Mother Earth forces us to, in a manner of
speaking, evolve or get out of the away.
And one of the first and easiest ways to become more efficient as a species is to address
food waste.
Up until fairly recently in our history, we didn't have to bother ourselves with waste
of any kind.
But in more recent decades, however (with the spread of consumerism), we can no longer
afford this luxury.
Luckily, in what some call "the world's dumbest problem" many see an opportunity
– and that is, of course, wasted food.
10.
The Overwhelming Statistics
There is a tremendous amount of food being wasted around the world.
In fact, roughly one third of all food goes to waste, either during production and retail,
or thrown away by the consumers themselves.
That's about 1.3 billion tons per year, or about half of the world's entire cereal
production.
In the already developed parts of the world, like Europe and North America, consumers'
behavior plays a bigger part in food squandering than in developing countries.
Here, on the other hand, technical, managerial, or financial constraints have a much larger
role.
The lack of infrastructure, agricultural grants, advanced harvesting and transportation technology,
or adequate cooling facilities, account for most of the food waste.
In all, developing countries lose 40% of their discarded food during harvest and processing,
while already developed countries waste 40% of their food at the retail and consumer levels.
On average, rich countries produce almost 2,000 pounds of food per person per year,
whereas poorer regions produce slightly above half, or 1,014 pounds.
Out of these, European and North American consumers alone squander some 230 pounds,
whereas consumers from Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia are responsible for 17
pounds each.
Every year, consumers from these rich areas waste almost as much as the entire food production
in Sub-Saharan Africa – 222 million and 230 million tons, respectively.
9.
Food Equals Money – Wasting One Means Wasting the Other
Tax cuts seem to be a trending topic nowadays.
Now, regardless of the fact that taxes are what make a middle class broad and stable,
governments usually sell these tax cuts to us as a great way to save money.
But we have a much better alternative for you.
While the planned tax cuts are said to save low-income households some $40 per year, the
average household of four can save around $2,000 just by being more conscious about
their food management behavior.
It is said that, on average, one American family throws away about a quarter of all
the food they buy, which is the equivalent of anywhere in between $1,365 to $2,275 annually.
In total, the United States wastes 35 million tons of food this way every year, which is
the equivalent of $165 billion.
Worldwide, this sum jumps to roughly $1 trillion.
In an estimate by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), food waste has risen in the
United States by 50% since 1990 and is now three times as high as it was during the 1960s.
One element that has exacerbated the problem, according to the Natural Resources Defense
Council (NRDC), is the steep rise in portion sizes and calorie density.
Over the past 20 years, hamburgers have expanded by 23%, soft drinks have increased by 52%,
while chips and pretzels have grown by 60%.
Pizza, on the other hand, remained more or less the same, but it now has 70% more calories
than it had in the '80s.
An average Caesar salad doubled, and a chocolate chip cookie quadrupled their respective calorie
counts.
Supermarkets have also employed various psychological tricks and tactics to make their customers
impulse-buy.
From offering various product samples, to providing us with big shopping carts, and
strategically placing products around the store, they make us buy more than we actually
need.
One great way of avoiding these traps is to make a shopping list and then stick to it.
8.
Fridges, Plates and Food Trays
In general, humans love wide open spaces.
Interestingly enough, however, the same thing doesn't apply to food.
Like portion sizes, plates have also grown over the years.
Whether it was the larger food portion or the larger dinner plate that came first, we
have no way of knowing, but since the 1960s, average plates have increased by around 36
percent.
And when we have a big plate, we tend to pile on more food, regardless of whether we will
be able to eat it or not.
Color contrast also plays a role here.
Scientists have discovered that people tend to add more food to their plate if their colors
–the food's and the plate's – match.
The opposite happens, however, if the plate is similar to the background (such as the
tablecloth).
So, in other words, if you want to eat more greens, you should do it on a green plate
against a red tablecloth.
Something similar applies to food trays.
A big tray will make people add more to it, with much of the food ending up going to waste.
Jill Horst, the director of residential dining services at the University of California Santa
Barbara, noticed this in her college dining hall.
In 2009, Horst decided to eliminate food trays altogether, and food waste dropped by 50%.
Students can still eat as much as they want, but they now have to manage their trips and
portion sizes.
But when it comes to our homes, oversized fridges are the main cause for food going
bad.
Like the plate, fridges have also increased in size, especially in the United States,
where we have 25 cubic feet (and larger) models.
By contrast, most European fridges are around 10 cubic feet.
We're not comfortable with a seemingly empty fridge, and we tend to want to fill it.
But a lot of food products can still spoil in a fridge after only a week, and a big one
makes us buy more than we would be able to consume during that time.
Refrigerators were also proven to decrease the value of food we put inside.
Surveys have shown that we feel less guilty if we drop a carton of eggs that's been
sitting in the fridge for several days, as opposed to when we just got home with it from
the supermarket.
7.
Land, Water, and Biodiversity Simply Wasted Away
Another way of looking at our own inefficiency when it comes to food is to analyze the three
criteria listed above.
In 2007, the total land area used on food that eventually ended up at the dump was around
1.4 billion hectares.
That's more than Canada and India put together!
The major contributors when it comes to food waste are meat and dairy.
Now, even though these make up just 4 and 7 percent of all the wasted food, respectively,
these squandered animal-based products take up a whopping 78% of the surface area mentioned
above.
To better understand this phenomenon, we should be aware that an area roughly the size of
the entire African continent is made out of pasturelands, while a third of all arable
land available is used for animal feed.
What's more, roughly 10 million hectares of forest worldwide are being cleared annually.
Food management inefficiency contributes to a large degree here – over 74% – with
agricultural lands expanding into wild areas at an unprecedented rate.
Overfishing is of serious concern, as well.
It's estimated that by 2048, there will no longer be any more commercially viable
fish left in the oceans.
This is in part because fishing is still seen as hunting, where fishermen catch as much
as they possibly can – not because of demand, per se, but because other fishermen might
catch them if they don't.
Secondly, size-selective fishing has cut the average size of fish in half over the past
four decades, and has severely hindered their capacity to replenish their populations.
Moreover, bycatch – or marine species caught unintentionally and then discarded – amounts
to 27 million tons annually (since 1994).
Over 300,000 whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and porpoises also die in fishnets every year.
When it comes to our fresh water supply, 70% goes into agriculture, 20% is used in industry,
while the remaining 10% is for everyday, domestic use.
Wasted food accounts for a quarter of all available fresh water on the globe.
That's equal to 3.6 times the amount of total water used in the United States, the
annual discharge of the Volga River (the largest in Europe), or about 60 cubic miles in total.
6.
Just a Quarter of All Food Waste Can Feed All the World's Hungry
Yes, this is the sad reality we are currently living in.
On average, the United States throws away enough food to fill up 730 football stadiums
to the brim every year – half of which is untouched, fresh, and completely edible food.
That's equal to 20 pounds for every man, woman, and child per month.
In other words, the United States, like many European countries, has twice as much food
stacked on supermarket shelves and in restaurants than it actually needs to feed the American
people.
If we were to take into account the amount of corn, oats, and other edible plants used
as animal feed, the United States has four times as much food as its population needs.
And yet, 1 in 7 Americans need to use food banks or are struggling to put food on the
table.
That's nearly 50 million people.
Internationally, well over 800 million people endure regular hunger or are malnourished.
The 1.3 billion tons of food discarded for various reasons worldwide is enough to feed
more than 3 billion people, or 10 times the population of the United States.
Now, if we were to save a quarter of all the food wasted, we would be able to feed over
870 million people – more that the world's entire hungry population.
When looking at these numbers, we can see why some people call this the world's dumbest
problem.
This incredible amount of excess can only be characterized as a success story that started
some 12,000 years ago with the Agricultural Revolution.
But our incredibly poor management pushes the planet's ecological limits to the brink
of collapse, and this success is quickly turning into a tragedy.
It is estimated that by 2050, there will be over 9 billion people on Earth.
Will the other 1.5 billion people have enough to eat, or will they go hungry?
5.
Unsustainable Beauty Standards
Over the past several decades, we've gotten so used to the food abundance all around us
that we've begun to grade our food in terms of its appearance.
Never mind the fact that 'ugly' foods are totally good to eat – if they don't
meet absolute perfection in terms of their shape, size, or coloring, we simply throw
it away.
And by we, we're referring to the farmers who grow this food in the first place.
They're not really to blame here, however, as they are the ones who have to bear the
financial cost of this wasted food.
A slight bump, a variation in color, or any other simple imperfection can downgrade a
piece of fruit or vegetable from a Class I to a Class II, with a price decrease of two
thirds or more.
This makes it completely unprofitable for the farmers to even pick them up – spending
even more money, time, and energy in the process.
Under normal circumstances, farmers throughout the entire agricultural industry have to leave
more than a third of their harvest to rot on the ground because of these government-approved
grades and standards.
But these undesirable fruits and vegetables could easily find their way into the hands
of people who actually need it, right?
Yes, but unfortunately the cost of picking, packaging, storing, and shipping this produce
is not covered by any reliable government grants or tax breaks, and farmers have to,
first and foremost, look after their own bottom line.
And once these top grade foods do make it onto the shelves, supermarkets and grocery
stores have to overstock so as to give the appearance of abundance.
They are fully aware that if only a few items remain on display, people generally don't
want to buy them.
This trend happens because we tend to assume that the last option is, more often than not,
a bad option – which in this case is just false.
And as a result, this overstocking leads to many items going bad, either on the shelves
or in the store's warehouse.
4.
If It Was a Country, Food Waste Would Be the Third Largest Emitter of Greenhouse Gases
See?
We told you that climate change stuff in the intro was on topic.
Agriculture is, without a shadow of a doubt, humanity's biggest impact on the planet.
It takes, by far, the largest amount of land and water of any other activity.
Soil degradation and water pollution are topics that we won't even begin to touch on in
this list, and instead, we'll only try and focus on air pollution instead.
After all, the change in the chemical composition of our atmosphere is what causes global warming
and climate change in the first place.
Worldwide, food waste accounts for 3.3 billion tons of CO2 and CO2 equivalents in the atmosphere.
To put this into perspective, if it were a country, it would rank as the 3rd highest
emitter after China and the United States – and that's without actually subtracting
these countries' own share of wasted food.
Nevertheless, these emissions can be broken down into two parts.
First, we have methane gas emissions coming from rotting food.
If we were to throw away an apple core or a banana peel somewhere in the woods, it wouldn't
be a big deal.
But when hundreds upon hundreds of tons of organic material are piled in landfills, this
food waste begins to decompose in an air-depleted environment, which leads to the creation of
methane gas.
And as some of us know, methane gas is 25 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than
CO2.
American landfills are responsible for 17% of all the country's methane emissions.
Second, we have all the energy that's used to produce this food in the first place.
It is estimated that for every one kcal of food, farmers use 3 kcal of fossil fuel energy.
And this is before taking into account food processing, transportation, or storage.
In 2003 alone, the United States consumed over 300 million barrels of oil on food that
made it straight to the dump, where it almost immediately began churning out methane gas.
3.
Misleading Expiration Dates
We don't know about you guys, but we here at TopTenz used to suffer mini heart attacks
every time we realized that the yogurt we've been so feverously munching down on was two
days past its expiration date.
But if you are anything like us (and if you are, our sincere condolences), then rest assured
because as it turns out, almost all of these dates are complete BS.
The bad news here is that these expiration dates are at best an approximation, and at
worst, a way for food manufacturers to make a quick buck by indirectly telling us to throw
away perfectly edible food and then go out and buy more.
To date, only baby formula has a federally-required expiration date stamped on it, while all the
other 'best-by' labels are up to the manufacturers themselves.
Expiration dates began appearing around the early '70s when much of the population stopped
growing and making their own food and began buying it from grocery stores.
These stores then came up with the idea of an 'Open Dating' system, which is when
a manufacturer voluntarily stamps a date on its food product, loosely indicating when
the item will reach peak freshness (not when it will go bad).
This method was used by retail stores to determine for how long to display it on their shelves.
The 'Closed Dating' system, on the other hand, shows the date when the item was produced.
Though helpful at first, this system ended up being taken too literally by consumers
and is now a much bigger problem than a solution.
Even though it's almost impossible to determine how much edible food is thrown away based
on these dates, surveys have shown that 54% of consumers believe that eating food past
their best-by date is a health risk.
What's more, 91% of consumers have said that they occasionally throw away food past
their 'sell-by' date, while 37% said that they always toss their food after its 'best-by'
date.
The US government had several pieces of legislation in the works regarding these expiration dates,
but with the exception of baby formula, none of them went into law – except maybe in
our heads.
In any case, this is by far the fastest and easiest way for any government to begin tackling
the problem of food waste.
In the meantime, everyday consumers shouldn't take them too seriously and only use them
as a base of reference.
Even though they look official, they're not.

The Landfill Lunch
With all the facts presented here about food waste, it could be quite hard to understand
why politicians don't talk about this issue, let alone do anything about it.
To be fair, governments are oftentimes nothing more than the 'mirror-reflection' of the
people they represent, and only after enough citizens actively demand something will things
begin to change.
Nevertheless, it's never a bad idea to bring up the topic of food waste with the world's
political society.
This is everyone's problem, after all, and we all need to find a solution.
And what better way to make politicians start talking food waste than to serve it to them
at lunch, right?
Well, this is exactly what happened during a 2015 UN Summit, where over 30 world leaders,
including France's then-president François Hollande and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon,
were seated at the dinner table and catered to by some of the world's most prestigious
chefs.
Everything seemed normal until they were presented with the US-themed menu.
Prepared by renowned New York chef Dan Barber and former White House chef Sam Kass, the
meal was comprised of, for starters, the so-called 'Landfill Salad', made out of vegetable
scraps and sub-par apples and pears.
The veggie burger was made out of "pulp left over from juicing," and a "repurposed
bread bun."
The fries were actually a kind of starchy corn used in animal feed, which makes up 99%
of all the corn produced in the United States.
And as refreshment, the distinguished guests were served "Chickpea Water"… or the
liquid that's drained from a can of chickpeas.
In an interview, Barber said, "It's the prototypical American meal but turned on its
head.
Instead of the beef, we're going to eat the corn that feeds the beef.
The challenge is to create something truly delicious out of what we would otherwise throw
away."

The Awesome Power of the Individual
As average citizens of the world, living in the relative comforts of anonymity, we oftentimes
find it daunting and feel almost helpless to do anything about the global state of affairs.
Even if we were to do our best and waste little to no food whatsoever, it would still feel
like a drop in the ocean.
But never underestimate the power of leading by example.
Instead of feeling down – or worse yet, being part of the problem – disregard your
negative feelings and focus on the positive.
Convince several of your friends of the benefits of not wasting food, and before you know it,
you might start a chain reaction that can alter the face of the world.
But let's tone down the inspirational talk for a moment and focus on a real-life example
instead.
Selina Juul, a graphic designer living in Denmark, has been credited by the Danish government
for singlehandedly helping the country reduce its food waste by 25% in just five years.
Today, Denmark is the leading country in the world when it comes to managing its food waste.
The whole thing started several years ago when Juul established a lobby group called
Stop Spild Af Mad (Stop Wasting Food).
As a Russian immigrant, she moved to Denmark when she was 13 and was shocked by the sheer
amount of food people were wasting on a daily basis.
"Coming from a place where there were food shortages and people queued for bread, I was
amazed at how much was wasted in Denmark, so I started a Facebook page," she said
in an interview.
Juul then began offering tips like, "encouraging people to make a list before they go to the
supermarket or take a picture of the inside of your fridge with your phone, if you have
no time."
Three months later, and based on her ideas, Denmark's largest supermarket chain began
replacing its quantity discounts like "buy two get the third free" with single item
discounts to minimize food waste.
An average supermarket wasted on average 100 bananas per day, but after they put up a sign
saying "take me I'm single," the number of discarded bananas dropped by 90%.
Today, every supermarket in Denmark uses at least one food-saving strategy.
"She basically changed the entire mentality in Denmark," said Maria Noel, communication
officer at a Danish retail company.
