    Yaletap University Thurman Arnold Project Digital Platform Theories of Harm Paper Series: 4 Report on Google’s Conduct in Advertising Technology May 2020 Lissa Kryska Patrick Monaghan I. Introduction Traditional advertisements appear in newspapers and magazines, on television and the radio, and on daily commutes through highway billboards and public transportation signage. Digital ads, while similar, are powerful because they are tailored to suit individual interests and go with us everywhere: the bookshelf you thought about buying two days ago can follow you through your favorite newspaper, social media feed, and your cousin’s recipe blog. Digital ads also display in internet search results, email inboxes, and video content, making them truly ubiquitous. Just as with a full-page magazine ad, publishers rely on the revenues generated by selling this ad space, and the advertiser relies on a portion of prospective customers clicking through to finally buy that bookshelf. Like any market, digital advertising requires the matching of buyers (advertisers) and sellers (publishers), and the intermediaries facilitating such matches have more to gain every year: A PwC report estimated that revenues for internet advertising totaled $57.9 billion for 2019 Q1 and Q2, up 17% over the same half-year period in 2018.1 Google is the dominant player among these intermediaries, estimated to have netted 73% of US search ad spending2 and 37% of total US digital ad spending3 in 2019. Such market concentration prompts reasonable questions about whether customers are losing out on some combination of price, quality, and innovation. This report will review the significant 1 PricewaterhouseCoopers for IAB (October 2019), Internet Advertising Revenue Report: 2019 First Six Months Results, p.2.

TikTok — the latter’s new acquisition — is a comparatively more simple app than its parent company, but it does fit in well with Tencent’s previous acquisition of Meitu, which is perhaps better known for its beauty apps.", In an article published by The New York Times, it was claimed that "An app with more than 500 million users can’t seem to catch a break. From pornography to privacy concerns, there have been quite few controversies surrounding TikTok." It continued by saying that "A recent class-action lawsuit alleged that the app poses health and privacy risks to users because of its allegedly discriminatory algorithm, which restricts some content and promotes other content." This article was published on The New York Times.", The app has received criticism from users for not creating revenue and posting ads on videos which some see as annoying. The app has also been criticized for allowing children younger than age 13 to create videos.

    YouTube Decade: Cultural Convergence in Recorded Music∗ Lisa M. George Christian Peukert Hunter College and University of Zurich the Graduate Center, CUNY June 17, 2016 Abstract Digital technology has the potential to impact the diffusion of new goods both within and across markets. The net effect of technology on globalization is thus an empirical question. We study the role of YouTube in globalizing the market for recorded music. We consider the US, Germany and Austria, exploiting a natural experiment that has blocked official music videos on YouTube in Germany since 2009. We document a causal link between YouTube access and both global and local outcomes. YouTube increases overlap with US weekly top charts, a globalizing effect, but also induces greater chart penetration of domestic music, a local effect. We show that the dual result is driven in part by the dynamics of the market: YouTube increases chart turnover, which expands the market for domestic titles. Our results indicate that global platforms need not advantage global culture.

Received: 8 January 2019; Accepted: 2 February 2019; Published: 11 February 2019 Abstract: This paper is part of broader research entitled “Analysis of the YouTuber Phenomenon in Spain: An Exploration to Identify the Vectors of Change in the Audio-Visual Market”. My main objective was to determine the predominant audio-visual genres among the 10 most influential Spanish YouTubers in 2018. Using a quantitative extrapolation method, I extracted these data from SocialBlade, an independent website, whose main objective is to track YouTube statistics. Other secondary objectives in this research were to analyze: (1) Gender visualization, (2) the originality of these YouTube audio-visual genres with respect to others, and (3) to answer the question as to whether YouTube channels form a new audio-visual genre. I quantitatively analyzed these data to determine how these genres are influenced by the presence of polymediation as an integrated communicative environment working in relational terms with other media. My conclusion is that we can talk about a new audio-visual genre.

  • Creating Google Street Views with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera By
    Creating Google Street Views with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera1 by Andy Lyons ​ Last modified: November 2016 Google Street View Camera Loan Kit In October 2016, Google loaned a 360-camera kit to IGIS (a statewide technical support program in ANR), for the purposes of exploring how Google’s Street View technology can be useful for research and management at the Hopland Research and Extension Center (and ANR field stations more generally). Street View app and the Samsung Gear 360 2 The Street View app (for both Android and iOS) is what you use to create and upload Street Views. The Samsung Gear 360 is one of about four 360 cameras that the Google Street View app is setup to work with (meaning the app can control the camera pretty seamlessly). Most people use the Street View app only to view off-road street views. You can also view off-road street views in plain old Google Maps, but the Street View app makes it a little easier to find user generated content. If you have a VR device such as the Google Cardboard, you can view Street Views in 3 cardboard mode .​ In terms of content creation, the Street View app has three main functions: i) control the camera, ii) process images (which includes stitching them together, blurring faces and license plates, adding locations as needed, and linking nearby photos), and iii) upload the images to Google Street View (after which they’ll be available in Google Maps immediately). The Samsung Gear can also record 360 video. For that you need the Samsung Gear 360 Manager (or another app).

  • Value of Youtube to the Music Industry - Paper III - Promotion
    Value of YouTube to the music industry - Paper III - Promotion June 2017 RBB Economics 1 1 Introduction The music industry has undergone significant change over the past few years, with declining volumes of music sold through an ownership model (such as downloads) and rapid growth in usage models (such as streaming).1 While many services provide value to the recorded ​ music industry, in the 12 months to December 2016 one video streaming platform, YouTube, paid out over USD 1 billion to the music industry from advertising alone.2 YouTube claims that not only does it return money directly to creators, but also that it has a promotional effect on music.3 However, some commentators argue that YouTube has a negative impact on the music industry: paying insufficiently for content and cannibalising other services. RBB Economics has undertaken several empirical analyses in order to evaluate YouTube’s potential promotional or cannibalisation effects on the music industry in Europe. We analyse the results from 1,500 person user surveys carried out in each of four European countries, as well as data on YouTube views and streams on audio platforms of over 8,000 tracks across these countries over a three year period.4 In our first note we considered the evidence of cannibalisation by YouTube of other legitimate music services. ● Looking at survey evidence we found that significant cannibalisation is unlikely: users of music on YouTube are primarily lighter users, and if music videos were no longer shown on YouTube, 85% of users’ time would be lost or shifted to lower or similar value channels, and even to file sharing or piracy.
