As families dive headfirst into the back-to-school routine, many parents are thinking about their kids’ digital habits – even Peppa Pig's parents, Mummy and Daddy Pig. 🐷 With Peppa spending more time on a screen, they reached out to Garth Graham, a physician, father of four, and Head of Health of YouTube, to help manage her time online and build some healthy boundaries. He shared his top tips for healthier digital habits: 🗣️ Talk Openly: Involve children in discussions about their screentime and what they are, and aren’t, allowed to watch and do. When they feel part of the decision-making process, they are much more likely to follow the rules. 🛑 Set Boundaries: Aim for clear daily limits and use logical checkpoints—like the end of an episode or level—so transitions feel smooth and fair. 🤝 Watch Together: Co-viewing turns watch time into a connected, shared family moment and helps build their critical thinking skills. 💡 Prioritize High-Quality Content: Choose age-appropriate, enriching media that sparks curiosity, imagination, and supports early learning.

Launching a media company once meant setting up shop in a few hubs, but today’s creators are building valuable ventures on their own terms across all 50 states. YouTube’s 2025 U.S. Impact Report with Oxford Economics shows the massive economic impact of YouTube’s creative ecosystem across the country. 📈 Over $60 billion contributed to U.S GDP. 💻 Over 540,000 full-time equivalent jobs supported across the country. 🇺🇲 All 50 states have at least 10 YouTube channels with over 1 million monthly views. These numbers represent the stories I hear from YouTubers every day, whether it’s someone just getting started or the studio being built to scale production to new levels. These creators are using the money they earn on YouTube to hire local talent, work with nearby businesses and reinvest in their content production. YouTube is proud to be the stage where entrepreneurs across the country can start with an idea, green-light themselves and build thriving businesses that create real ripple effects in their communities.

My hottest take? More creators should be nominated for Emmys. Congratulations to Kareem Rahma and the entire SubwayTakes team on their nomination! Just over two years ago, I wrote about why I believe creators deserve this kind of recognition. It’s exciting to see how that conversation continues to evolve. https://lnkd.in/gcyyJptR

Which teams have captured your imagination this #FIFAWorldCup? Let’s look at the numbers. According to YouTube data, every spike in the numbers has a story behind it: ⚽ The Global Giants: When looking at total views, powerhouses dominate—with Mexico, Morocco, Portugal, and Argentina battling for the top spot. But Vini Jr.'s Brazil leads the pack, outperforming even Ronaldo's Portugal and Messi's Argentina. 🌍 International Reach: Argentina is the most-viewed national team outside its home country. However, looking at foreign viewership as a share of total views, the top teams are Qatar, Czechia, New Zealand, Cabo Verde, and Curaçao. ✨ History Makers: Emerging teams are winning over new fans. Curaçao, the smallest nation to ever qualify, scored its first-ever World Cup goal. Meanwhile, fans rallied behind Cabo Verde and Vozinha, the oldest goalkeeper to start a World Cup match. The World Cup isn't just about who wins on the field. It's about which stories capture the world's attention. Search "World Cup" on YouTube to be a part of the action and see more from the tournament.

For years, I've had the privilege of celebrating creator milestones across YouTube, but there is a big difference between presenting a Creator Award and actually earning one. My own channel recently crossed 100,000 subscribers and it’s been pretty cool getting to experience the milestone myself. Thanks to everyone who has subscribed and stay tuned for more.
