Jun 17, 2024 7:14 AM

09:58 AM EDT, 06/17/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) YouTube ( GOOG ) said Monday it is testing an experimental feature that will enable users to publicly add notes under a video to provide more context.

To start, the pilot will be available on mobile in the US and in English, with a limited number of contributors to be invited to write notes to test the feature and improve systems, YouTube ( GOOG ) said in a blog post.

Third-party evaluators will initially rate the helpfulness of the notes, with contributors themselves potentially rating notes as the pilot moves forward, according to the video-sharing platform.

YouTube ( GOOG ) said viewers in the US will start to see notes on videos soon.

Shakespeare's birthplace mirrors a scepter'd isle riven by Brexit discontent
Mar 26, 2019
In William Shakespeare's ancient birthplace, discontent over Brexit runs even deeper than three years ago when this "scepter'd isle" shocked the world by voting to leave the European Union. The 2016 referendum revealed a United Kingdom divided over much more than EU membership, and has sparked impassioned debate about everything from secession and immigration to capitalism, empire and what it means to be British. Just days before the United Kingdom was originally supposed to leave the EU on March 29, nothing is resolved: it remains uncertain how, when or if it ever will. Brexit, and the future of the kingdom, is in play. In Stratford-upon-Avon, which voted in line with the national 52-48 decision to leave, both Brexiteers and Remainers are aghast at what they said was the national humiliation of Prime Minister Theresa May's collapsing exit negotiations. With its Anglo-Saxon heritage, black-and-white Tudor houses, understated wealth and lucrative Shakespeare tourist business, Stratford is as typically English as a town gets. But under the gilded surface, both sides of the Brexit divide have ominous warnings for the politicians in London: Dash our dreams and face a much deeper fissure that will bleed the United Kingdom for generations to come.
