Sup you beautiful bastards
hope you're havin a
Fantastic Monday welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump into it. The first thing we're gonna
Talk about today one of the most requested
stories from over the weekend is actually youtube business news, because there was a lot of outrage and
controversy about this clip from YouTube
And it's specifically from their verified YouTube channel creator insider and the video is titled 'making money and demystifying live
Notification YouTube live streaming Q&A' and this is a clip that's been getting shared
We don't notify all of your subscribers
Right we notify all of your subscribers who have rung the bell and then your most active subscribers after that okay
So we try to notify
The people who we believe would be most likely to tune in and watch your content. That's right while it's live while not necessarily
Overwhelming and spamming all of your subscribers with these notifications. That makes sense to me
That's what we that's what we see our users want
also, there was a lot of conversation about is this just about notifications when someone goes live or all videos? Based on the response I
Got from YouTube, It seems like it is for live and regular videos
They didn't hit on
clarify that point so it appears to be across the board and so in general the response has been what the hell YouTube when I
Subscribe to a channel it's because I want to know when they upload a new video
And there are a lot of top creators sounding off jesse wellens a long time youtuber Tweeting:
"Are you fucking kidding me YouTube?
Now I understand why I only get
500,000 views with 10 million subs" adding 'so because I want to make quality
Content twice a month I get screwed? your stupid system only works for daily caused us to lose our minds making daily content
Ah, so frustrated' and a question a lot of people had after watching this video is okay
if I if I don't have the bell checked
But I did subscribe to someone because I do want to watch more of their content
What exactly happens? and they actually hit on this in that video
if they don't hit the bell, and they're just subscribers they would have been a
Occasional notification state so that means that they get algorithmically determined notifications
Thoughtful there, but what it really does mean that was that mean yeah, that really just means that your most active subscribers
So users who are watching your channel and your live streams are gonna get notifications as soon as you go
Live we also send notifications to to users who aren't your subscribers,
But they also watch your content very actively and you think they'll be interested in watching your live stream
So we send them notifications as well
and so essentially YouTube saying that there are tiers to
subscriptions you can subscribe and based off of your actual intake of a certain piece of content you will get
Notifications based off of the algorithm right that if you're just doing this you're saying
I'm the kind of user that yes sometimes. I would like notifications, but I know the person's schedule
I know that I can just check my subscription tab and if you want the most premium version of subscriptions
Notifications when it actually comes out you got to ring that Bell
I also reached out to YouTube and they said that the reason that they did this is that when they had notifications for
Everyone what they ended up noticing was that the click-through rate for that individual user would go down
They also saw more users unsubscribing from youtubers
And they also saw an increase in people turning off notifications for the entire app
I have to say is someone that's been in the past week negatively affected in different ways by the algorithm
Obviously hearing this it concerns me
There's also just a lot about YouTube that doesn't seem to make sense
Example howtobasic put out a video yesterday saying face reveal ten million subscribers, here's a face reveal 12 million views
But when I went to trending this morning for the United States. There's a sideman video that did get a lot of traction 2.9
Million a BuzzFeed video 2.9 million, and then a vlog about a puppy that has 276 thousand views
I'm just saying there are a lot of questions
But at the same time as a person that consumes a lot of YouTube, I also understand
I am subscribed to a ton of channels on YouTube, but I don't want notifications every single time those videos come out
There are a few that are my daily or weekly go-tos that I make sure that I have
notifications on and then for my personal experience
I'll go to subscriptions. That said their system seems to be built towards subscriber drop-off, but the question becomes okay
Let's say you stop watching someone for a little bit
You don't have the Bell checked at what point will YouTube stop notifying you because once you tube stops notifying you
It's probably a lot less likely that you'll get that viewer back, but YouTube would most likely argue that that you had pretty much lost that
Viewer by that point, but at the same time I get the general frustration because while all of this happens
We are still talking about a YouTube ecosystem
That's seemingly
there are a lot of people saying this it seemed to be that during like the Logan Paul scandal back in the day even a
Lot of people that weren't subscribed to him because they were watching his content to see what the hell is happening they were getting notifications
For this guy's channel that they weren't subscribing to which most likely probably lent to Logan Paul getting a million subscribers during a massive suicide
controversy and the system in place
focused on Logan rather than other actual
subscriptions that person would have. And I want to end this strory on two notes. One is if you if you subscribe to someone because you
Really really like what
They're like top tenth of your viewership make sure after you hit subscribe you also hit that bell so you get notifications (when they do work)
That is the I want to know the moment this gets released for sure
I want to make sure I know when there is definitely a video in a regular subscription as I want these kind of things to
Pop up on my feet and when I hit subscriptions
I'll get around to it and - I'd love know your thoughts on this
Do you think that this system as is that makes sense or no, it's ridiculous or actually this does make sense
But YouTube needs to do a better job explaining this whatever you think on this I'd love to know in those comments down below then
Over the past 24 hours, we've seen a lot of stormy Daniels back in the news
But I do think that it's important to note that. There's a very little new information. Stormy
had an interview with 60 minutes that aired on Sunday, and in it she details the affair in detail
there's really no point going into that again really hits home on that she was not a victim that this was consensual a bit of
new information if she went as a detail about how she was threatened after she did a
2011 interview with In Touch magazine and here's her talking about that I was in a parking lot
Going to a fitness class with my infant daughter. I was taking you know the seats facing backwards in the backseat diaper bag. You know
getting all the stuff out and a guy walked up on me and
said to me
Leave Trump alone forget the story
And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said it's a beautiful little girl would be a shame if something happened to
Her mom and then he was gone and so because of this alleged threat
She said she was concerned for her family's safety
She said she feared she would face legal repercussions
If she didn't just take the money and go along with the denial regarding having text or pictures with Trump
She said their lawyer advisor not to talk about that at this time
I also know that Donald Trump's lawyers lawyer a sense of cease and desist to Stormy's lawyers saying I hereby demand that you and your
Client cease and desist from making any further false and defamatory statements about my client that you immediately retract and apologize to mr.
Cohen through the national media for your defamatory
Statements on 60 minutes and make clear that you have no facts or evidence whatsoever to support your allegations that my client had anything
Whatsoever to do with this alleged thug we also got a response from the White House today was the president aware of a physical threat made against Ms Daniels when she was with her daughter back in 2011
Well the president doesn't believe that any of the claims that Miss Daniels made last night the interview are accurate
He doesn't believe she was threatened. No. He does not well. It was his basis for that? Sorry. What's his basis for that?
Well, he just doesn't believe that you know there's nothing to corroborate her claim and so as of right now that is where we are
It will be interesting to see how this situation
Develops even though the Summers zervos story that situation that is potentially more meaningful in the grand scheme of things, but if you're someone
That's hoping that this story goes away very soon it might not according to CBS 60 minutes was delivered to more than 22 million
People it's the largest audience
They've had since
2008 which actually funny enough was the first sit-down interview with president-elect
Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama for their first post-election interview ultimately, we'll have to wait and see if that is true
But from that I want to share some stuff

But it's not gonna be for everyone also in a bit of Awesome, I would like to confirm on though YouTube
I already did it on Twitter as of last Friday
I have officially shot out my episode of hot ones with Sean Evans

So be on the lookout for that then if you're in the mood for some food porn thriller out a video about New Age
Austin barbecue, and kind of on a random note when I'm watching food videos or food on TV
I never feel more like an animal than that because I'll just start salivating and I'm like oh, okay
I can do whatever I want in this world at the end of the day my brain still the same brain
That's like
food on
TV time to eat eat that now then we had Dominic's putting on a video about buying used things, the slow-mo guys doing a
Giant paint drill in 4k you got a trailer for the new 2 Chainz documentary that actually seems pretty interest
And if you want to see the full versions everything I just share the secret link of the day
Anything and all links as always are in the description down below
Then let's talk about the March for our lives rally that happened over the weekend the rallies in general were meant to call for action
against gun violence March was led by parkland students and organized after the tragedy that took place last month at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
Where 17 people were killed. We saw hundreds of thousands of protestors
participate across the globe even stretching to places like Australia, Japan and France
But the main event took place in Washington DC there there was an estimated
180,000 people in attendance and at the rally with celebrities like Miley Cyrus ariana grande Demi Lovato performing
And you also had students from Stoneman Douglas like David Hogg's Sam Fuentes Cameron kaske giving speeches one of the speeches
That got the most coverage came from Stoneman Douglas
Student Emma Gonzalez you might remember Emma from her we call BS speech that went viral last month
She has become one of the main faces of this movement, but this time Emma only spoke less than two minutes
She actually stood there on stage quiet for four minutes 26 seconds and after standing there silently
She said this 'since the time that I came out here
It has been 6 minutes and 20 seconds
The shooter has ceased shooting and will soon abandon his rifle
Blend in with the students as they escape and walk free for an hour before arrest
Fight for your lives before it's someone else's job.' We also had a speech from Naomi Wagler that went viral
He only just 11 years old the speech was under 4 minutes
But it really stood out to a lot of people because she talked about black women specifically how they're disproportionately
underrepresented when it comes to victims of gun violence 'I am here today to acknowledge and represent the
african-american girls whose stories don't make the front page of every national newspaper
Whose stories don't lead on the evening news
I represent the african-american women who are victims of gun violence who are simply
statistics instead of vibrant beautiful girls at full potential.' I will say to me personally this speech did stand out. Obviously
We're seeing this big movement happen because this is following a school shooting children were murdered before I say this please understand
I'm not trying to minimize
What happened at Stoneman Douglas, but on an important note that a lot of people have noticed is that if you if you're talking about a school
Shooting and gun violence in general in America, school shootings are an outlier
They are a minimal percentage of gun violence in America
Then you look to Chicago where there's massive gun violence not necessarily in schools
Where a lot of people feel like they've been saying, this is a problem
But because those shootings involve people of color it didn't really gain the same traction in general over the weekend it seemed like people who
Have had this mindset
They went one of two ways they either leaned into people have color been talking about this for a longer time
Or you know what no matter what their
There is a tension on this at the time, so let's let's really embrace it speaking of reactions
We saw a lot of reactions towards the March in general White House responding with a statement we applaud the many courageous young Americans
exercising their First Amendment rights today former President Obama tweeting 'michelle
And I are so inspired by all the young people who made today's marches happen. keep at it. You're leading us forward.
Nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change.'
But they weren't all Pro you had people like Tommy Lehren tweeting 'simply being anti NRA is not a solution. March for something not just
against everything.' the NRA posting on Facebook 'today's protests aren't
Spontaneous gun hating billionaires in Hollywood elites are manipulating and exploiting
Children as part of their plan to destroy the Second Amendment and strip us of our right to defend ourselves and our loved ones' former
House Speaker Newt Gingrich making similar
Comments on Fox News saying 'I think it would be fascinating to know who paid for it all
I mean the left has this wonderful ability to mobilize so the day after
inaugural you have the women's March people come in buses who paid for the buses people who organized the whole process who brought the
Entertainers?' Republican Congressman Steve King criticizing Emma Gonzales posting a picture of Emma with the text
'This is how you look when you claim Cuban heritage yet
don't speak Spanish and ignore the fact that your ancestors fled the island when the
Dictatorship turned Cuba into a prison camp after removing all weapons from its citizens hence their right to self-defense' later adding 'pointing out the irony
of someone wearing the flag of a communist country while simultaneously
Calling for gun control isn't picking on anyone' we also had Bill Mitchell compare David hog, one of the survivors, to Hitler youth
tweeting 'Hollywood agents office, secretary
"central casting called. They're looking for a Damien. Children of the corn, Hitler Youth type to cast in a flick about an Orwellian future where
where fear and emotionalism is used to subjugate a free people" Agent: Naled it'
And I will say that I know what I want to hit on here is if you want to disagree or you want to attack
the argument of one of these parkland
Florida kids go for it when you start talking about someone looking like Hitler Youth children of the corn
I mean you're just you're being a fucking asshole a disgusting asshole who shouldn't be taken seriously also back to Emma Gonzales
There was a gif and pictures of her ripping up the Constitution being spread around that image was actually
Doctored it originated from a Teen Vogue story that was released on March 23rd, and it originally showed her ripping up a target poster
so there was just this fake picture slash gif that was being shared for a while it appears that it may have originated from the
Social media account called the gab they ended up confirming it was fake about four hours after posting the original tweeting
'This is obviously a parody satire. you're all mad because it's believable isn't it? that's the best type of satire
It's a comedic reflection of reality' we also saw criticism about some of the signs that were being held at these rallies like this one with
A young kid with a sign that reads 'when I said I'd rather die than go to math class that was hyperbole
Assholes' to see the people criticizing the language also people saying they were
Exploiting their children for their agenda some of the other signs have made their way on social media included 'it was harder to buy
This poster board than an ar-15 something is wrong' 'girls' Clothing is more regulated than guns'
'Let's ban guns like we ban boobs' a lot of people pointing out those signs really missed the mark
But I think I do want to know there whether it be kind of a left-leaning rally or a right-leaning rally you never really know
If what?
I'm not saying that this is the case just so we all have an open mind about it sometimes when you have these rallies there
Can be a plant, you see this more in
Situations where you can't see the face of the person holding the sign
Just something to think about also when you have an event that has hundreds of thousands of people when when you when you point out
One or two signs it can really derail the general idea of what everyone's trying to do
I also saw students at the rally wearing price tags the reason to that as March organizers have argued that a student's life
to the to people like Marco Rubio Republican
Senator from Florida that that is what each student's life is worth to them this because they say there are three million one hundred forty
thousand one hundred sixty-seven students enrolled in the state of Florida and according to the
organization Marco Rubio has received three million three hundred three thousand three hundred fifty five dollars from the NRA they then did the math and
That's why you were seeing this price tags, and here I will say I think that is an incredible
Oversimplification of the issue at hand yes, we are dealing with some people who will do literally anything for money
But you're also talking about people that have a different ideology than you and that's even hard to say because I think that there are
Also a lot of different types of people that went to the rally that have a lot of different opinions on what is the right
Thing to do right? there's a range here. I mean there are people that want just better background checks
Maybe they're focusing on mental health care
age requirement changes, bans on certain weapons, bans on all weapons and on the point of we are doing this because we don't want to see
more school shootings
Those you may not agree with are saying the best way to defend against that is actually more guns, right the people that don't agree
With you necessarily their argument is that more guns actually defend people. They save lives. No I'm not saying What's right or wrong here
I just think that the price tag is a big simplification you also have people talking about Patrick petty
Petty's sister who reportedly went to Stoneman Douglas, She was in the JROTC program
She's one of the three JROTC members that died during the shooting and he tweeted 'hey @Emma4change
Please stop using my sister's name to push your agenda
She did not and would not support it' so there was this
Conversation of including her in the numbers including her in this incident is this
Exploitation or no because it doesn't actually change the situation or argument
But on that note I do want to pass the question off to you
What are your thoughts about this the whole thing any specific standouts? I'd love to know what you're thinking and why.
Let's talk about a bunch of Russians getting the boot. separate announcements from the White House Department of State the US mission to the UN
The u.s.
announced the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats in the United State 48 of which are diplomats at the Russian embassy in DC and 12 of
those are diplomats to the UN residing in New York and in addition to this the US is closing the Russian consulate in Seattle by
April 2nd this reportedly because of the proximity to a u.s.. Naval base in Bowen according to the White House
This is in response to Russia's use of a military-grade
Chemical weapon on the soil of the United Kingdom adding today's actions make the United States safer by reducing Russia's ability to spy on Americans
and to conduct covert
operations that threaten America's national security
And in response to this we saw a spokesperson for the Kremlin say we've said more than once and we say once again
Russia has had nothing to do with this affair whatsoever naturally as before we will proceed from the principle of reciprocity
a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry also added we consider this step as
unfriendly and not meeting the tasks and interests of establishing the causes and searching for the
Perpetrators of the incident that occurred on March 4th the Russian ambassador of the United States also saying that there will be an adequate response
And today at least 21 European countries have taken individual diplomatic action against Russia, Lithuania
And the Czech Republic saying they would expel three
Denmark Italy in the Netherlands saying that each of them will expel
Two grain is expelling 13 Russian diplomats Canada expelling for Germany France and Poland will expel four Russian diplomats with Intelligence Agency background
This is an unprecedented move for Poland because it's the first time they've taken action against Russia for actions outside of its borders as far
As what happens next honestly who knows I will say for Trump. I do think that it's helpful
It makes it much harder to say that he is being soft on Russia ultimately when looking at the big picture where we're talking about
Russia feeling more
Isolated and more targeted so what happens next I have zero clue just have to wait and see talk about it then but for now
What are your thoughts around all this are you happy to see in the United States joining in here or no?
This is this is heading to a really bad place. I'd love know your thoughts and those comments down below
That's what I'm going to end today sure and remember if you like this video you like what I'm trying to do on this channel
