Attack on Titan Season 3 delayed until April 2019

Attack on Titan Season 3 delayed until April 2019 after the end of episode 12, season 3 of Attack on Titan was officially broken down into two parts. The first part known as the uprising arc has ended at episode 12 of season 3. The new arc "The return to Shiganshina Arc" to resume season 3 in April 2019.

Attack on Titan Season 3 delayed until April 2019

Attack on Titan Season 3 delayed until April 2019

Bad news is that Attack On Titan is delayed until April 2019. After this episode, it will return in April of 2019. One of the reasons is that they are giving time for manga to move ahead in story so that they don't have to stop the production anime due to lack of source material like what happened after season 1. They had to stop production of anime for 4 years just so they had source material to create content from.

The other reason being NHK has other things to broadcast other than this anime, hence the anime briefly stops here. It's to give way to another show that has reserved this time-slot. NHK is a national channel in Japan. So it's possible they allotted the time frame to some other show.

You may think that in everyone's layman view this delay was not necessary, but this is a significant move by any broadcast station in Japan, due to plethora amount of studio that pumps out shows and series that needs to be broadcasted for revenue.

The final reason is that its all an effort to build hype. Imagine the return of the Attack titan to fight the armored and the colossal titan in 2019. Surely anyone who has watched the series can get goosebumps thinking about this.

So, finally Attack on Titan Season 3 delayed until April 2019. Don't forget to follow my Attack on Titan Memes page on facebook and the blog AKBlogs on facebook & Twitter.

Youtube adds copyright-safe songs to the YouTube Audio Library

On August 3rd, 2018, Youtube posted a new update regarding copyright-safe songs. Alongwith this new update a new gallery of songs were added to the YouTube Audio Library which are copyright safe.

Youtube adds copyright-safe songs to the YouTube Audio Library

Youtube adds copyright-safe songs to the YouTube Audio Library

Music copyrights have been an issue for a long time for youtube content creators. Mainly because most of the music already present on youtube is copyright protected. And creators require permissions from music creators to use them in their videos.

But whats the loss here? Why does a youtube content creator need to put copyright-safe songs in his video? The answer is simple, monetization. Monetization does not apply to those videos that have copyright claims on them. Whether that be video or music content inside a video, you simply cannot monetize someone else's work without having their permission.


So, to resolve this issue several music artists on youtube started uploading copyright-safe songs on their youtube channels and requested that users give them credits for it by posting their channel link in their video's description.

Although the issue was resolved to some extent but the resources were limited and didn't have much variety. Also a lot of music creators started selling royalty free music but youtube came up with a solution of its own. A solution that would solve both these small issues, i.e., it would be free and youtube content creators would not need to put the URL of the music creator's channels in their videos.

YouTube Audio Library

YouTube Audio Library is a collection of sound tracks ready to be used for youtube content creators. 
Most of the soundtracks are royalty free and free to use. 

YouTube Audio Library - Ali Khan Blogs (AKBlogs.com)

With this new update youtube has added several new songs to the list that are copyright-safe and royalty free.

Youtube content creators can use these songs in their videos without being issued copyright warnings.

Attack On Titan Season 3 Episode 1 Breakdown | Smoke Signal

Attack On Titan Season 3 Episode 1 released yesterday on July 22nd at 11 am Pacific time. The series is up to a flyer with a new vision and a diverse storyline that takes the main characters against a new foe named Kenny the Ripper.

Kenny the Ripper

Kenny the ripper is shown to have interest in the new season premiere towards Eren and Historia Reiss. The reasons for Kenny's motives have not been shown as of yet. But we will get to see that in later episodes.

The episode started with what the manga fans refer to as the ending of the Return to Shiganshina arc which is chapter 90 of the manga. Afterwards we saw the scene that was released earlier as a promotional clip.

The scene in which we saw Eren and his friends at an unknown location, cleaning as they were through the segment.

Afterwards Eren starts training and has a few injuries which he recovers swiftly.

Afterwards Eren starts training and has a few injuries.

The segment is purely intended to show off titans in the premiere since we don't get to see any other titan in the episode at all.

Historia has changed alot since the last season as she seems to revert back to her original self and not the girl we saw in the previous two seasons. Eren talks to her about this and says he prefers this as compared to the girl he once knew.

Historia has changed alot since the last season as she seems to revert back to her original self and not the girl we saw in the previous two seasons. Eren talks to her about this and says he prefers this as compared to the girl he once knew.

After this the action begins and military police is set to look after the scouts. The scout activity beyond the wall is restricted because of unknown reasons. The season has started well along the lines of man to man battle as we see the death of an important character in the beginning as well.

Also new characters like King Reiss, Kenny the Rippers are also seen and set to play an important part in the first arc of this season.

Also we see an iconic Kenny scene at the very end where we see Kenny and Levi face off in a sword vs guns battle. The battle is set for episode 2 but we did see a glimpse of next weeks episode. Here it is for you:


Next week's episode will surely be an action packed episode because of the rising tensions between the capital government and scouts.

Youtube Comment Moderation Update

With two new options now available for comment moderation. With this new update in its beta working you can:

  • Hold potentially inappropriate comments for review on your videos
  • Hold potentially inappropriate comments for review on your channel

These comments are not posted until you approve of them. You will have the final decision whether to approve, hide, or report these comments to youtube.

Held for Review

The comments that the system will keep from being posted will not always be spam. Sometimes even harmful comments will be posted and pass this moderation update. But after your decision, the system will keep your feedback as an approval criteria.

Its like Artificial intelligence (AI) for comments that takes feedback from user for potentially inappropriate comments and reviews the next comments using the feedback as a reference.

Paid Memberships, Merchandise and Premieres announced by Youtube

Youtube Creators have had a lot of trouble getting monetization privileges since youtube changed its monetization policies. Youtube Creators had to struggle a lot to get those privileges but recently paid memberships, merchandise and premieres announced by Youtube for its content creators.


Paid Memberships, Merchandise and Premieres announced by Youtube

Youtube content creators are getting more tools to help them earn from youtube. Apart from advertising, these paid memberships, merchandise and premieres will help youtube content creators get the most of youtube.

Paid Memberships, Merchandise and Premieres announced by Youtube

Memberships

You actually might have heard of this as "Youtube Sponsorship" usually for gaming channels. Using sponsorship you can sponsor your channel for  $4.99 per month. But for this to work youtube content creators have to fulfill the following criteria:
  • Youtube content creators need to have atleast 100k subscribers
  • Youtube content creators need to be over 18 years of age
  • Youtube content creators need to be members of the YouTube Partner Program

Memberships

Memberships will allow subscribers to gain access to members-only posts in the Community tab. Here youtube content creators can share special information that only members can see.

YouTube says it will vet these perks manually, to ensure they meet YouTube’s guidelines and are something the creator can actually deliver.


This feature was launched in January for few creators who chosen as test samples by youtube. They have already started generating revenue from memberships.

Same as sponsorships, YouTube retains 30 percent of sponsorship revenue that includes local sales tax, transaction costs, including credit card fees.

Merchandise

With merchandise, youtube content creators can sell to their fans directly. Youtube content creators with more than 10,000 subscribers can offer merchandise of any kind from their channel.

YouTube has negotiated a deal with Teespring for the tee shirt sales who receives a commission on the tee shirt sales.

Merchandise


Premieres

With premieres, youtube content creators can generate revenues through making premieres of videos. With the help of youtube video premieres, you can create a landing page to promote your video. This page allows followers to chat with youtube content creators.

How does it work?

The videos will be uploaded the same way as before. So there's nothing new with that. You just have to toggle the premiere switch on. Alongwith that superchat is also available for users to chat with the members during a premiere video release.

After the premiere is finished, the video is launched as a regular youtube video. Premiere videos show up as recommended videos and notifications. They will also appear in YouTube search results and YouTube suggested videos.

YouTube is releasing its own version of Stories for all eligible creators with more than 10,000 subscribers by the end of this year.

Conclusion

With these new Paid Memberships, Merchandise and Premieres announced by Youtube, content creators can make the most of their efforts on youtube. Since youtube is competing with facebook audience network to get creators on it. New and new ideas are surfacing everyday.

Attack on Titan Season 3 Official Clip Released

Recently the Attack on Titan season 3 official clip released online and it was just too good. The fans got to see some of the main cast especially Eren Yeager, Mikasa and Armin. The members of the survey corps were promoted to the Levi squad which is a group of scouts who follow orders directly from Captain Levi.

Attack on Titan Season 3 Official Clip Released

Apart from Eren , Mikasa and Armin other characters that were shown included Jean, Historia, Connie, Potato girl Sasha and especially fan favourite Captain Levi.


The clip is almost 2 minutes long and included the crew at the residency of the Levi squad shown in season 1. Enough with the details, lets just watch the clip:

Attack on Titan Season 3 Official Clip Released


The animators have certainly improved the animations as you can clearly more detailed facial expressions and the rest of the furniture polished. The translations are kinda off. Eren didn't say "she's already healed", he said "I saw her doing situps earlier", which explains why Jean would ask him "Were you peeping on her?"

After seeing this I can surely say season 3 is going to be very good but season 4 is going to be phenomenal since we see the cast in the ocean in the clip at the end of season 2. Which explains that we will see the end of the return to Shiganshina arc.

Can't say much about season 4 since a lot of viewers are from the anime and not following the manga.

Youtube Private messaging in Creator Studio is ending soon

After recently launching private chat as a top level option for youtubers. Youtube pulls out of the option fairly quickly. As I opened my channel's messages. I got this message from youtube.

Private messaging in Creator Studio is ending soon. You won't be able to send, receive, or read private messages.

Youtube Private messaging in Creator Studio is ending soon

Youtube started the private chat for sharing videos with other youtubers and community members. But ever since the appearance of the private messaging button since October 2017. It has not been used as much as it should have been according to youtube.

You can see the icon for private messaging also wasn't appealing.

Youtube Private messaging in Creator Studio is ending soon

Users won't be able to send, receive, or read private messages any more from July 9th, onwards. According to Youtube Help, they rejected this feature because it was not being uses widely by youtubers as it should have been.

Also it was kind of useless because people could just chat with each other in the comments section. But that's not the worst part.

The worst part is that youtube will reportedly delete all private messages from July 9th, onwards.

Some new characters are also seen in the trailer excluding Kenny, which are presumably after the Attack Titan, Eren Yeager.

But sadly no other titan except the attack titan was shown, maybe this season will take place inside the walls and we would not get to see the Shiganshina battles. But July is a long time away, hopefully we will get new trailers till then.

The return to Shiganshina arc has some of the best battles of the series to date including a battle between Captain Levi and the Beast Titan. Hope we get to see them as soon as possible.

Dragon Ball Super Series Ending in March after a Long Run

Dragon Ball Super series ending in march after a long run. Dragon ball super (DBS) series is the continuation of the popular anime Dragon Ball Z. The series is canon and takes place in an alternate dimension from the GT saga.

The series started in July, 2015, and continued to be one of the most watched anime series (3rd) for quite the while. The anime was popular among viewers from Japan, US and all over the world. With the series dub completing its 46th episode and the series sub completing 123rd episode.

Dragon Ball Super Series Ending in March after a Long Run

The fans got a shock on 19th January, as Fuji TV announced that the broadcast of the anime series will be ending in March. As the universe survival arc is coming close to its climax, its still hard to predict the outcome of the series so far.

universe survival arc, dragon ball super


Although a lot of mysteries are to be unfolded in the series, there is yet not reason as to why this decision was made. The fans are distraught after the announcement. Here are some of the reactions on twitter.

Reactions on Twitter

First the positive ones:


The reaction is quite positive as brings about the best thing in the series, the new characters. This series brought some wonderful characters to life like

  1. Beerus the destroyer who seemed to be the biggest baddie until recently. 
  2. Hit the assassin from universe 6
  3. Goku Black, one of my favorite, an alternate version of Goku from the Trunk's timeline
  4. Jiren

With only 10 episodes to go, approximately, we still haven't seen the full potential of Jiren's ability and what he is truly capable of. Will we see a destroyer vs Jiren fight,it still doesn't seem to be coming up soon. Also I want to see a beerus vs Goku (Ultra Instinct) fight before it all ends.

Now for the negative fan reactions:

More like bitter sweet reactions




And finally when it ends:





And finally a picture of Goku in ultra instinct. I hope you like this article, I will be writing more on these sorts of topics and don't forget to follow my blog AKBlogs on facebook at Akblogspk.

Youtube changes Monetization policies, 4000 watch time hours, 1000 subscribers minimum required, 2018

Yesterday, Youtube changed its monetization polices, which was a big blow to lesser known smaller youtubers (creators). Once again youtube introduced new rules which harmed the small timers the most. Killing off revenue for the newbie creators and also for those who have monetization enabled but do not fulfill the minimum criteria.


According to Youtube's new policies, only those channels will be open for monetization that have:
  • More than 4000 hours of watch time in the last year.
  • More than 1000 Subscribers total.
This means you need to have atleast 20,000 watch time minutes per month if you want to become part of youtube's partner program next year, if your channel starts today. This came as a shock to the creator's community. With some people actually tearing down after hearing the news. A creator, Christine Barger, shared her video in teary eyes after hearing this news.


This makes a big difference for the new creators from the previous policies of 2017. Last time, creators only had to get 10,000 views in order to get approved for youtube's partner program.
Creator's have spoken out against youtube on social media and are also making requests to their viewers to view their videos and leave them playing in the background.




Youtube said that they will implement this new protocol for the existing youtubers from February 20th. This means that even if you have monetization enabled, you channel will be checked if it has 4000 hours of watch time and 1000 subscribers. If your channel meets the minimum criteria, youtube will continue forward with allowing monetization on your channel. 

People are asking for help on social media to somehow save their account's monetization privileges:



This already has a big backlash on twitter. But PewDiePie, the most popular content creator on youtube, wrote a very supportive tweet towards youtube.



Although youtube says that only those channels are affected by this decision that make less than 100$ a year. This means their monthly income would be close to 7~8$. Some are saying that even if someone earns 1$ from youtube, it gives them a moral boost.
I hope youtube changes its policies, especially the watch time clause because it really is extravagant to ask new creators to get 4000 hours of watch. I have done the calculation and if my channel has 20,000 watch minutes per month only then I can get monetization privileges.

92 News is not available as well. But you can find some news broadcasts from their channel here.

In the news, Pakistani police is seen throwing tear gas and using water gun against civilians throwing stones. A protest that started almost two weeks ago with only a thousand people more or less, escalated towards violence today when armed forces and police with combined strength of 4,000 men started dispersing protesters.
