YouTube switches to instant-play views to boost counts

YouTube will start counting a view as soon as playback begins, aligning its metric with Instagram and TikTok (and applying a similar method to Shorts). The change, effective August 24, is expected to raise total view counts but won’t affect creator earnings or eligibility for the YouTube Partner Program, which will continue to rely on engaged Short views and engaged watch hours; YouTube also notes ongoing creator updates like higher YPP requirements.

Burry doubles down on Nvidia and Palantir shorts while loading up Molina Healthcare

Hedge fund investor Michael Burry is expanding bearish bets on Nvidia and Palantir while increasing his stake in Molina Healthcare, which has fallen about 54% from its March 2024 high. In a Cassandra Unchained update, he said he added to large short positions in Nvidia, Palantir, Oracle and Caterpillar and boosted his Molina position, arguing Molina is undervalued long term. He also added Palantir puts and Nvidia puts expiring in 2026–27, choosing options over direct stock shorts and broadening his bets against AI/semiconductor names.

YouTube Lets You Quiet Shorts With a 0-Minute Limit

YouTube is rolling out a zero-minute Shorts option under Time management, effectively adding friction that can hide Shorts from the Home feed when set to 0 minutes. It’s not a full kill switch — Shorts can still appear in subscriptions and be accessed via direct links — but the feature makes it harder to doom-scroll. To enable, go to Profile > Settings > Time management and set the Shorts limit to 0 minutes; the rollout is underway and targeted at parental controls before expanding to everyone.

Google is rolling out AI-generated avatars for YouTube Shorts, enabling creators to generate a photorealistic digital likeness from a selfie and voice to appear in videos, with built-in AI disclosures and visible watermarks (SynthID/C2PA). Avatars are created via YouTube's AI Playground or YouTube Create app, can be remixed into Shorts, and can be edited or deleted; accounts must be 18+ and unused avatars auto-delete after three years, with a gradual rollout.
