YouTube's new policy for creators allows more swearing
As the video explains, the new rules 'align with broadcast standards' and "advertisers expected ads on YouTube to have distance between profanity and the ad that just served'. The move is not intended to increase profanity use on YouTube content, but it is meant to 'allow advertisers to better match their commercials with certain content'. Creators will not be eligible for full monetization if their video title or thumbnail contains swear words.
In related news, YouTube has rolled out a new age verification system for minors in the US. The new system uses a machine learning model to differentiate users' age by their taste in videos, search history and account longevity. If the system confirms you are under 18 years old, it will automatically turn on YouTube's age filters, disable personalized ads and enable digital wellbeing tools.

Did Verizon really just get rid of the only reason people stuck around?
I just got done blasting T-Mobile yesterday for a controversial new change, when I found out that Verizon was sending out emails to customers about yet another awful decision. Dear Verizon, you cannot afford to alienate your users even more when you're losing subscribers each month. How hard is it to understand that? Apparently, quite a bit, seeing how Verizon 's CEO — Hans Vestberg — just said that the company will only be prioritizing 'high-quality' customers from now on. Some areas have reported empty Verizon stores. | Image credit — Verizon America's largest carrier is losing customers at an incredible rate, with most people moving to T-Mobile or an MVNO. And, honestly, can you blame them? Over the years, there has been a sharp uptick in people complaining about how Verizon operates. From poor coverage, bad customer service, and even worse pricing, people are fed up. Of course, wherever Verizon works, it works great, but the numbers don't lie. While T-Mobile is skyrocketing in popularity, and AT&T is also recording growth, Verizon continues to see people walking out the led to the company employing a brilliant strategy to retain its user base. For quite a while now, Verizon has been throwing out discounts with reckless abandon. Granted, the company took a very uncoordinated approach, leading to Verizon's pricing crisis. Many customers were still seeing price hikes at random, but many others suddenly started being gifted one discount after were many tricks to land these discounts as well. Even just hinting to a customer support representative that you were planning to switch carriers ended with you mysteriously receiving a discount. This was, quite clearly, Verizon 's emergency plan for customer retention. But, perhaps best of all, the carrier would randomly award its users with what it called loyalty discounts. If you had been a Verizon user for a while, you'd get a discount that could range anywhere from $10 to $50 or higher. This was another tactic that the company began employing to stop its subscriber count from falling off of a cliff. And…then it stopped. Customers received emails similar to this. | Image credit — Reddit Users who were enjoying loyalty discounts are now getting emails from Verizon telling them that said discounts are no longer valid. Of course, the carrier didn't waste this opportunity to promote its myPlan options, something that many users have been actively resisting. And I am confused, very confused. I cannot count the number of times that I have seen a Verizon user admit that the only reason that they're sticking around is for the discounts. Many customers have claimed that they very much dislike the company's services and customer support, but that their plans are too cheap to give up. Verizon , what are you doing? What do you gain by doing this? Do you really believe that customers will keep using your services if they cost the same or more than other carriers that, in most people's eyes, are better? CEO Hans Vestberg says that Verizon will now prioritize profitability over growing its customer base, but do you really have as big of a market share to keep turning a profit? Do you honestly think that you can keep people around when you have nothing to offer over your competitors? I am so baffled. Seeing someone genuinely praise Verizon over T-Mobile or AT&T is like seeing a unicorn. And, for some inexplicable reason, the company has bet its entire future on those unicorns. Well, at least now we know that if Verizon dies in the future, we can point back to a specific time in history where it all went wrong, because I do not think that Verizon is too big to fail. And as they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

iPhone 17 Pro battery leaks in new images
A few days ago, we got our first look at what was then reported as the iPhone 17 Air's battery. It turns out the images are actually for the iPhone 17 Pro's cell and leakster Majin Bu has now revised his initial report and added additional images. iPhone 17 Pro US version (eSIM) The iPhone 17 Pro will employ an L-shaped design with a steel casing, just like the iPhone 16 Pro. The images also show the distinct differences between the batteries for the US and Chinese versions. iPhone 17 Pro Chinese version (physical SIM slot) The version for the US market features a larger battery casing as the phone lacks a physical SIM slot. The Chinese model has a dedicated SIM slot, which takes up additional space. Despite the larger battery casing on the US version, it's unlikely that it would feature a larger battery cell. iPhone 17 Pro US version (left) vs Chinese version (right) The updated steel casing is rumored to offer improved heat dissipation. We can also notice the reduced area for the logic board on the top side. Apple is rumored to be using a new adhesive around the battery, which is said to make replacements a tad easier. According to a rumor from last month, the iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in the second week of September. Source
