 Today, we go over the significance that gaming has had on the world of YouTube. Games like Minecraft, League of Legends, yeah! And then we find out who the three winners are in the $100,000 sponsorship, powered by freedom. I'm your host, Tiffany, and you're watching Impulse. Thanks, Tiffany. Let's start this episode off with some YouTube news, and then wrap it up with some network news. First up, over 15% of all videos on YouTube are about video games in some fashion, making it the most popular video category on the website. And I don't think it's any surprise that Minecraft is the most popular in the gaming category, followed by Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and then League of Legends. Tubular Labs has posted an infographic that I will link in the description if you want to know more about the nitty-gritty details. Next up, YouTube is testing a new autoplay feature for suggested videos. You know how when you're watching a YouTube video and it lists suggested videos in the right-hand column that you may be interested in watching as well? Well, if you have this new feature enabled, it basically cues you up to watch those videos in the list automatically. And while this may be great for improving watch time on channels, I'm not sure if it's actually in the interest of the viewer. I've had this feature available to my YouTube account for a while, and I actually had to turn it off because I was getting pretty annoyed with the videos that it was choosing for me. Do any of you guys have this feature enabled? I would love to hear your thoughts about it. Now, let's find out who today's runner-up winners are of the $100,000 sponsorship. Tiffany? Thanks, Alex. Question for you guys. What kind of videos do you make? Do you like to make gaming videos, tutorial videos? What do you like to do? And now, as always, in no particular order, we announced the two runners-up in the $100,000 sponsorship picked by Heartbeat Crew. And you get to choose from these select prizes brought to you by our partners with freedom. And if you want to learn more about the $100,000 sponsorship that I'm always talking about on this show, go to that little yellow thingy up there, click on it for more information. You'll see more of my face. And now to you know who, and I wish I could turn off his autoplay feature. Our first runner-up is Teespoon. He provided proof to the freedom family that forums are a great resource to help grow your channel. By posting his Minecraft video on minecraftforum.net and factorialforums.com, his channel immediately skyrocketed with this newfound source of exposure. He also gave us some useful tips to go along with Zesty Mike when it comes to DIY filmmaking. Our next runner-up is Ramello. He provided proof that hot current event videos will generate a massive amount of views. At the time when he uploaded Jeremy Lin videos, he was generating 3,000 views almost instantly. He also agrees with our new rule system in which anyone can copy and paste a great tip to grow on YouTube. What matters is how the YouTuber actually applies their advice to their own personal channel. Congratulations Freedom Partner on a job well done. And remember, you are still eligible to win first prize in a future episode of Impulse. And now back to Alex for some more news. Alright guys, let's go over some network related news. AudioMicro, a company that works with us at Freedom to provide our partners with music to use in their videos, has just sold a majority of its stock to Zealot Networks. For those who don't know, Zealot Networks was actually created by Danny Zappen, a co-founder and ex-CEO of YouTube MCN Maker Studios. After he stepped down as CEO in 2013, he ended up suing Maker and then pushing against Disney's acquisition of the MCN. And some of you, I'm sure remember, the spat between him and Ray William Johnson over network contracts and revenue earnings. All I can say about this news is that I wish both of these companies the best of luck as they move forward together into 2015. And lastly, the YouTube Creators Channel has cancelled production on its YouTube Nation show and has switched focus to a new show titled The Creator Show. The Creator Show will be filmed at YouTube Spaces and serves to keep YouTubers informed about new features and updates to the website using popular YouTubers as hosts. The first episode is up to watch right now and if you're interested, we'll leave a link in the description for that as well. That's it for me this week guys. Let's throw it back over to Tiffany to find out today's $100,000 sponsorship winner. Thanks Alex. And now for the moment you've all been waiting for, let's find out who won $250 in grand prizes. And as always, you get to choose from these lovely products brought to you by our partners with freedom. And now back to Rick who's going to announce the winner just like this and give you confetti. Yeah. And today's winner is Nathan J.Y.K. He's proven to the freedom family that following trends on YouTube helps build immediate viewership growth. He realized that if he was going to upload GTA 5 videos to stick with what the community wants to see, unlimited money and RP glitch videos. This has caused his channel's viewership to grow 30% organically in just the last 7 days. Congratulations Nathan J.Y.K. In a world of ladybugs, you are a Tiger. Congratulations Freedom Partner on a job well done. Remember guys to share your knowledge, discuss today's topics and interact with other Freedom Partners in the comments below.

Hope you guys enjoyed this episode of EmBulse and tomorrow, Michael's going to show you how interacting with others is going to help you grow your channel. Why do I have to make complicated sentences, huh? I do that, I do that. Every Call of War, Duty, Game, Ever, Merging! I don't do First Firsts and Shooters. Freedom. Freedom Power! Yeah, I'm looking at this going, this is a zesty written one here folks, and now back to wick. And now back to wick. Chris is going to be like, oh no, just to kill all that video that never happened.
