YouTube’s content creator network has blown up over the past
couple of years, making internet superstars of YouTubers like Felix Kjellberg
aka PewdiePie. His Let’s Play videos have over 9 billion views and last year he
made $7.4 million on ads. In a video posted earlier this month, PewdiePie talks about
how his YouTube fame exploded since he began making videos 5 years ago. He
made the video in response to hateful comments about the legitimacy of his
success.
YouTube has also added some new tools for content creators.
The update allows users to take their creativity to new levels with image
filters, footage trimming and music – all inside the app. In addition, vertical videos will now be viewable in full-screen for both Android and iOS apps.
The video-sharing giant is also making a push into the 3-D
format. At the moment, YouTube can support videos in 360-degree format. The videos
are filmed using special camera rigs that look in many different directions,
and software stitches it all together. On the YouTube app or Google’s Chrome
browser, viewers can pan around in any direction to change their view of the
video.

Virtual reality is coming to YouTube with 3D, 360-degree video. More details soon! #VidCon pic.twitter.com/PVJ1ElLly5

Support for 3-D means that users of virtual reality headsets
like Oculus Rift or Google Cardboard can see images in three dimensions as they
move around it. YouTube has said it will provide special rigs that support the format at
its studios around the world.
This new breakthrough may be evidence that YouTube is trying
to fend off the rumours that Facebook is a real threat to the video-sharing
champion.
