YouTube tests floating comments on Android when watching in landscape

YouTube is trying out a new way to display comments even when you're watching in landscape on your Android phone. Usually, comments disappear when you watch clips in landscape, except when you're tuning in to a live stream. Now, YouTube is testing out a floating comment box that some Android users have spotted. What it does to the video is shrink it down a bit to accommodate the comment box on the left. It does seem like an intelligent way to be able to see comments while watching videos.

Twitter might get paid 'Super Follows' soon

Twitter

Twitter's paid Super Follows feature might be going live soon, at least according to what app researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered. Super Follows is the social network's take on a Patreon-like offering. Creators can apply and manage their Super Follows status by defining categories (including "reality TV" and "adult-only") and the platforms they already use to share materials (including Twitch and OnlyFans).

According to what Wong discovered, a creator will need to be 18 or older, have over 10,000 followers, and poss at least 25 times over the last 30 days. It shows you have a well-established audience on the platform. Twitter hasn't commented about the feature. It won't be surprising if Twitter launches the feature soon. It would complement one of the company's latest offerings, Twitter Blue, which is actually already available in Canada.

Bloober Team

The Xbox Series X/S and PC-exclusive title The Medium has just been rated for the PlayStation 5. It receives a Mature 17+ for Blood, Strong Language, and Violence rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board. And the listing shows not just the Xbox platform but the PS5, too.

Koch Media announced a publishing partnership with The Medium's developer Bloober Team earlier this year, and the publisher plans a pre-E3 Koch Primetime Gaming Stream on June 11. So, we might hear more about the game's availability on Sony's console then. As IGN pointed out, it could also drum up excitement for Bloober Team's upcoming project, which it said was working on "another horror IP" with a "very famous publisher." Some of the speculations said it could be a new entry in the Silent Hill franchise.
