Inside the LG G5’s shocking last-place finish at the 2025 TV Shootout

theverge.com Nilay Patel 2026-01-15 10:08:13

The 2025 TV Shootout went down over the weekend, and the results are shocking: yes, the Sony Bravia 8 II won the overall competition and my personal award for silliest name, but the LG G5 came in last place by a huge margin.

YouTube loosens profanity rules for monetized videos

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2026-01-15 10:01:21

YouTube is tweaking its profanity-related rules to allow creators to monetize videos with swearing in them, provided the profanity is contained to the first seven seconds of the video. In November 2022, YouTube changed its rules so that creators who used swear words in the first 8-15 seconds would potentially be ineligible for any ad revenue. After much backlash, the company changed its rules again in March 2023 so that such videos would be eligible for limited ad revenue, unless they use profa
