2 weeks agoNetflix price surge signals end of passive subscriber era
Netflix raised subscription prices again, reflecting a shift toward valuing subscribers by engagement and ad-driven revenue potential.
YouTube will stop sending push notifications to inactive subscribers who have not engaged with content, even if they have selected 'All' notifications. This aims to keep notifications relevant.
YouTube is expanding its test of variable channel subscriber notification frequency, which reduces the amount of push notifications that are sent to subscribers if they don't regularly engage with a channel's content. YouTube originally launched its variable notifications as a test last March, with the aim of reducing overwhelm, which can often lead to people switching off push notifications entirely. And that experiment has obviously gone well, because now, YouTube is expanding it to more subscribers.
