Another day and another giant YouTube channel hacked.

It feels like barely a week goes by without a prominent YouTube channel getting hacked to promote crypto scams. This time it’s Linus Tech Tips, one of the biggest tech YouTube accounts — with 15.3 million subscribers. The channel has been taken over by scammers live streaming crypto scam videos. These breaches have been happening for well over a year, and it’s beyond time YouTube helped protect creators from falling victims to this.

YouTube TV just gave all customers access to its new multiview feature.

YouTube TV is making its new multiview feature available to all customers sooner than expected. The streaming TV service originally planned to start with an “early access” group and expand from there, but the March Madness fervor has proven overwhelming. People want their basketballs games. All the games at once.

I don’t think this will make up for the price hike it just announced — people are very upset about YouTube TV crossing beyond $70 — but it’s a nice gesture.

The tradeoff for instant gratification is that you’ll probably deal with bugs and some known issues.
