Best 5 gaming videos of 2019
Highest profits on Youtube ? Anastasia, at least, is already thinking of Plan B. She dreams of becoming a dolphin trainer and cat doctor. “I wish I had the answer,” Chas Lacaillade, the founder and CEO of child star agency Bottle Rocket Management, says of landing that elusive secret to success. “I’d be a wealthier man.” And who can blame them for cashing in? YouTube is working to limit revenue possibilities for children’s channels in response to a settlement with the FTC for allegedly violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act rule. YouTube’s first step is a ban on targeted ads for kids’ content that begins next year. It’s been said by creators that the new guidelines may also affect natural search results so children’s videos don’t appear at the top of Google searches. That’s a direct hit at potential earnings, which come predominantly from pre-roll advertising spends.
It’s difficult to call Once Upon a Time in Hollywood by a single genre, but then again, isn’t that the case with most Quentin Tarantino films? However, we’d be remiss to not include “comedy” when talking about Tarantino’s ninth venture. Brad Pitt in particular offers up a hilarious performance in the film set against the summer of 1969. In particular there’s one scene with a dog, some LSD, and a couple of Manson family killers… damn. That doesn’t sound funny, but we swear, it’s hysterical.
Ultimate Dog Tease: The “Ultimate Dog Tease” 2011 clip by Andrew Grantham features a cute little doggy who really loves food and cannot believe his owner is being so stingy with said food. Oh, and, the dog can talk. There’s a reason why this video has been viewed 200 million times. FailArmy Logo: FailArmy has one of the most addictive YouTube channels around. Go back in time to the 2013 “Ultimate Fails” compilation. While every year brings the funny, the 2013 compilation is one of the most viewed humor clips on YouTube. Filled with hilarious (and often painful-looking!) fails, this is 33 minutes of pure laughter. Find additional amazing clips on YT.
Best video for a song in 2019 ? The hot, wretched sickness of young love is rendered so acutely here by 21-year-old US indie-pop star Clairo. There’s a sullen black humour as she war-games the worst thing that could happen – her lover walking out with their bags – as a way to edge away from the erotic terror of the best thing happening. “Can you see me using everything to hold back?” she frets, holding nothing back. The backing, an idle but quietly feverish patter of garage rock, also tries to play it cool but can’t quite manage it, its main instrumental melody searching up and down for a foothold.
