YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki quits after nine years

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is stepping down from her role after nine years at the helm of the online video sharing service and 25 years at Google and Alphabet.

In addition to working on Alphabet and Google’s YouTube and DoubleClick acquisitions, Wojcicki co-created Google Image Search, led Google’s first Video and Book search and served as senior vice president of ads. She’s also notable for being Google’s first landlord, having rented her Menlo Park, Calif., garage to co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, only later agreeing to join the company as an employee.

As CEO, Wojcicki emphasized new YouTube apps and experiences designed to cater to gaming, family and music segments. She spearheaded YouTube’s ad-free subscription offering, YouTube Premium (formerly known as YouTube Red) and the platform’s over-the-top streaming TV product, YouTube TV. And she oversaw efforts to develop diverse forms of monetization for YouTube creators, like channel memberships, merchandise and paid digital goods

Perhaps more importantly, Wojcicki responded to allegations — some would argue inelegantly — that YouTube’s algorithm encouraged hate speech and violent extremism by tightening the platform’s enforcement policies. In a separate note shared to the YouTube Creators blog today, Wojcicki spoke to creators directly.

Wojcicki will be replaced by Neal Mohan, YouTube’s longtime chief product officer. Mohan came to Google with the tech giant’s DoubleClick acquisition in 2007, and — as his responsibilities grew — he was promoted to SVP of display and video ads before assuming his current role in 2015. As for Wojcicki, she says that she’ll take on an “advisory role” across Google and Alphabet, offering counsel and guidance.

The French youtubeur, Norman Thavaud alias “Norman makes videos” placed in police custody for acts of rape and corruption of minors

One of France’s most popular YouTube celebrities has been detained for questioning by police investigating charges he raped several young women in recent years, Paris prosecutors said Monday, December 5.

Norman Thavaud, who shot to fame with quirky send-ups of everyday events, is facing accusations from six alleged victims, according to French daily Libération, which first reported his detention. Five of the women accuse him of rape, two of whom were minors at the time, according to the paper.

Another woman, a Canadian identified as Maggie D., publicly accused Thavaud in 2020 of inducing her to send him sexually suggestive photos and videos, which could see him charged with corrupting a minor. Maggie D. confirmed to Agence France-Presse that she was currently in France so that she could testify to investigators in Thavaud’s presence, having already filed a complaint in Canada.

Mr. Thavaud, a 31-year-old whose YouTube handle is “NormanFaitDesVideos” (“Norman Makes Videos”), has amassed nearly 12 million subscribers with videos seen more than 2.7 billion times since he launched his act in 2011. Before the Covid-19 epidemic he had also taken his act on the road for a series of successful live shows.

His entourage was not immediately available for comment.

The suicide of MavaChou

MavaChou and her husband Adrien shared their private life on YouTube, recounting their life with four children and the fifth child they lost during pregnancy. They talked about their marriage, with advice on children, shopping, decor and much more. Their story was exhibited online, right up until the breakup, which brought everything down. Both they shared videos of accusations against each other, also speaking of child abuse.

Fans lined up for the two sides and the woman received many insults and threats. Last December 22nd she committed suicide at 32 and the Epinal prosecutor’s office opened an investigation against unknown persons for “moral harassment that led to suicide“.
