What Nash Grier Thinks About Tighter YouTube Regulations
YouTube may be under fire for some of the content on its site, but social media star Nash Grier thinks the platform has the opportunity to “make the world a better place.”
“Of all the platforms, and of everything I kind of try to do or accomplish on social media, there’s nothing more important than actually trying to make a physical change,” he said, adding that he’s currently focused on a project to help bring clean water to Swaziland.
His comments follow YouTube’s decision this week to tighten regulations around its “Partner Program.” The platform, which is home to over 1 billion users, now requires that content creators have 4,000 hours of watchtime within the past 12 months and requires a minimum of 1,000 subscribers.
The move by the Alphabet-owned company was in response to backlash over YouTube influencer Logan Paul posting a video that appeared to show a suicide victim in Japan.
Grier, who rose to fame via the short-form platform Vine, says he isn’t familiar with the “politics” behind decisions like that. The 20-year-old has managed to amass over 24 million followers across social media sites.

Disney content has gone dark on YouTube TV, leaving subscribers of the Google-owned live streaming platform without access to major networks like ESPN and ABC. That’s because the companies have failed to reach a new licensing deal to keep Disney channels on YouTube TV. Depending on how long it lasts, the dispute could particularly impact coverage of U.S. college football matchups over the weekend — on top of other news and entertainment disruptions that have already arrived. In the meantime, YouTube TV subscribers who want to watch Disney channels could have little choice other than turning to the company’s own platforms, which come with their own price tags.

Universal Music Group and AI platform Udio have settled a copyright lawsuit and will collaborate on a new music creation and streaming platform. The companies announced on Wednesday that they reached a compensatory legal settlement and new licensing agreements. These agreements aim to provide more revenue opportunities for Universal's artists and songwriters. The rise of AI song generation tools like Udio has disrupted the music streaming industry, leading to accusations from record labels. This deal marks the first since Universal and others sued Udio and Suno last year. Financial terms of the settlement weren't disclosed.
