*By Amanda Weston* Since Dailymotion was acquired in 2015 by French media conglomerate Vivendi, the video-sharing platform has grown its audience exponentially, according to its CEO. And now, the company's focus is fixed squarely on one concept: premium. "We decided to focus on premium content, premium audience, premium partner," Maxime Saada told Cheddar Thursday. "So we were kind of ahead of the curve on this premium environment that today advertisers and content partners are looking for in the digital media industry. We've doubled our audience on premium content in one year, and now we've reached 3 billion streams and 300 million visitors globally in every continent, in every country of every continent." The video giant is also launching partner solutions, ones that don't necessarily involve the major players. "There's a lot of companies out there that have content and they don't want to be dependent on this Facebook ($FB) and Google ($GOOGL) environment," Saada said. "And they want to be able to manage their own content, monetize their own content, and this is part of the new plan that we're bringing to the table is this end-to-end solution for these partners to do that, and not be reliant on Facebook or Google." Facing stiff competition, Saada said the distinguishing factor is the viewing experience ーsomething he said his company has mastered, calling it "completely seamless." Saada also said it's a matter of really delivering the content that users want to see. "Dailymotion, it's really about bringing the 'daily' back in Dailymotion, so we bring fresh content," Saada said. Saada said Dailymotion detects trends based on searches on major sites like Google and Wikipedia ー and generates an algorithm that enables the platform to promote certain videos. "So right now if you go on Dailymotion, it will be about Megyn Kelly. It will be about Bohemian Rhapsody," he said. "It will be about everything that's going on today."

Poll: More Americans think companies benefit from legal immigration
A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump's administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.
Tylenol maker rebounds a day after unfounded claims about its safety
Shares of Tylenol maker Kenvue are bouncing back sharply before the opening bell a day after President Donald Trump promoted unproven and in some cases discredited ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism. Trump told pregnant women not to use the painkiller around a dozen times during the White House news conference Monday. The drugmaker tumbled 7.5%. Shares have regained most of those losses early Tuesday in premarket trading.
