YouTube is considering NFT integrations as a way for creators to connect with their audiences and generate new revenue streams.  The announcement comes just weeks after YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki hinted that the platform could use Web3 as a source of inspiration for expansion and possibly implement NFTs.  In a blog post, YouTube’s Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan listed a large list of new products, tools, and features that the company plans to bring out in 2022. It includes Web3 technology, blockchain, NFTs, and the Metaverse.  Following comments from the community, Mohan indicated that YouTube is actively looking for new methods to provide extra support and opportunities for its two million associated creators. After mentioning that producers frequently have trouble coming up with fresh content ideas or determining what would be successful on the platform. Mohan has suggested Web3 technology like NFTs as a possible solution:  “Web3 also opens up new opportunities for creators. We believe new technologies like blockchain and NFTs can allow creators to build deeper relationships with their fans. Together, they’ll be able to collaborate on new projects and make money in ways not previously possible.” Mohan stated that producers may tokenize their movies, images, art, and experiences as a method to engage with fans by using NFT technology.  He said: “There’s a lot to consider in making sure we approach these new technologies responsibly, but we think there’s incredible potential as well.”  Mohan also alluded to the current main term — ‘Metaverse’, when he stated that viewers can expect new ways to enjoy content through virtual reality. The YouTube executive claimed that the company will focus on gaming first, but did not provide any other details at this time. “Finally, we couldn’t have a piece about innovation without touching on the Metaverse! We’re thinking big about how to make viewing more immersive. The first area in which you can expect to see an impact in gaming, where we’ll work to bring more interactions to games and make them feel more alive.” He further said: “It’s still early days, but we’re excited to see how we can turn these virtual worlds into a reality for viewers.”  In the current atmosphere, a large internet corporation like YouTube outlining any plans to do something with NFTs is brave, given the public outrage that has occurred following NFT announcements from companies like Discord, Ubisoft, and Team17.

A documentary on a 20-year-old crypto trader who allegedly turned $50 into an $8 million fortune last year has been removed by the BBC. The Crypto Millionaire was the title of the documentary, which chronicled the narrative of Hanad Hassan, a Birmingham resident who claims to have made a return of around 16,000,000% in a year by trading unnamed crypto assets. The piece was supposed to air this week, and it would have explored how Hassan had begun to give back to the community as a result of his newfound wealth, but it was canceled after the Guardian revealed on Feb. 10 that it had expressed problems about the BBC’s research: “The Guardian asked the BBC if it was confident in his claimed financial returns and questioned why the program’s promotional material did not mention that Hassan’s cryptocurrency Orfano was abruptly shut down in October, with many unhappy investors claiming they were left out of pocket as a result.” The Guardian’s media editor Jim Waterson wrote, “The BBC swiftly said it had withdrawn the show but did not make any further comment on its editorial checks.” Hassan Had First Turned $50 Into $1M in Q1 2021 Hassan had first transformed $50 into $1 million in Q1 2021, according to a now-deleted promotional story for the program on the BBC’s website (that can still be viewed via web.archive.org), before going on to co-create his own ‘special cryptocurrency’ that distributes all of its proceeds to charity. The BBC did not disclose the details behind Hassan’s ‘net worth’ and how he generated the money between Q1 and Q4 2021, therefore it is unknown how he made the remaining $7 million of the estimated $8 million sums. Hasan’s ORFANO token, according to Coinmarketcap, was introduced on April 2, 2021, with a 6% tax on all transactions using the asset. A portion of the tax revenue earned by the token was allocated to a wallet address for charitable donations. The coin does not have a pricing history, but according to the BBC, OFRANO donated $200,000 to charity last year from its profits. According to posts from the r/Orfano community on the social media network Reddit, the project remained silent in September before shutting down in October, implying that ORFANO barely lasted five or six months. Several individuals on the subreddit claimed that the project was illegitimate, but this is a pretty regular claim made by community members whenever projects fail. Hassan and co-founder Ahmed wrote in a message to the community that was reposted on Reddit: “Things haven’t gone the way we had planned and after careful consideration, we have decided that we will [be] stopping the continuing of the project. The team has put in every effort to maintain and grow the token but we don’t see any progress and a way to bring Orfano x back to the good days.”
