News of the Day

YouTube is expanding its "Playables" feature, offering over 75 lightweight, free games within its app to all users, following a successful trial with select users and YouTube Premium subscribers. This move aims to enhance user engagement by providing entertainment options between browsing and viewing sessions. While these games don’t monetize through downloads or in-app purchases, they compete with free games that generate ad revenue. This expansion comes as other tech giants like Netflix and Epic Games are also investing in gaming to circumvent app store commissions and boost user engagement, reflecting a broader trend of leveraging games to strengthen digital ecosystems.

They go to bed every night a little wiser than when they woke up."
Be a learning machine.
