Each week, we handpick a selection of stories to give you a snapshot of trends, updates, business moves, and more from around the creator industry. This week, a beloved web series returns to YouTube, Nintendo says no to a VTuber, Best Buy wants in on cash from creator recommendations, and Balatro gets a blessing.
Creator commotion
One of YouTube’s oldest web series is back in action. Ask a Ninja first spun its shuriken on YouTube way back in 2005, had its heyday in 2010-2011, but vanished into the mist in 2015. Never fear, though: This week, after years of radio silence, it’s offiically returned. The cult beloved series features, of course, a ninja (played by host/channel co-creator Douglas Sarine) who answers the world’s queries with a dash of sage advice. His new episode is eight minutes long and has inspired nearly 2,000 comments from fans excited about his grand return.
