Hand-picked News

YouTube Premium subscribers can now generate playlists using text or voice prompts — locking basic features behind a paywall while rivals give them away.

  • Create mixes with prompts like "raging death metal" or "progressive house mix for a chill party" — what Spotify, Amazon Music, and Deezer already offer (some for free)

  • YouTube just blocked free users from viewing song lyrics last week, calling it an "experiment" — pattern emerging

  • This lands as Google flexes 325 million paying users across Google One and YouTube Premium, with YouTube pulling in $60 billion yearly

YouTube's been testing AI radio features since mid-2024. This isn't bleeding edge, it's catch-up dressed as innovation.

👀 The play: YouTube is systematically moving table stakes features behind Premium. They're not building moats with AI, they're building paywalls with features competitors offer freely. If you're on the free tier, expect more "experiments" that take away what you used to have.

DuckDuckGo rolled out real-time voice chat for its AI chatbot, and your voice data gets deleted when your session ends.

  • Your IP address gets stripped before hitting OpenAI's servers — the model provider can't tie conversations back to you

  • Audio streams through encrypted WebRTC and gets processed ephemerally — nothing stored, contractually banned from training

  • Free users get daily limits, paid subscribers ($10/month) get higher caps, no account required

⚠️ The catch: Your voice itself can be identifying, and a single question can leak names or places. DuckDuckGo isn't fingerprinting you, but biometric data is inherently risky. Use it for low-stakes stuff first.

👀 Try this: Hit duck.ai, enable voice, test with generic queries. See what permissions it requests. If it feels solid, gradually test more personal queries.

Bluesky just shipped drafts — a feature so basic that X and Threads users forgot it was ever innovative.

  • 42 million users have been asking for table-stakes features, and drafts beat out private accounts and longer video support

  • Bluesky's 2026 roadmap promises "better recommendations" and "real-time features," but they're still admitting they need to "get the basics right" two years after public launch

  • Access drafts in the top-right corner of the composer, same as every other platform

👀 The tension: Bluesky built a base by promising something different, but growth demands familiarity. Every "finally adds X" headline shows they're playing catch-up on basics while competitors move ahead.
