YouTube Launches Custom Tarot Card Experience, Featuring Various Platform Stars

Here’s a thing – if you’re into, like, cosmic guidance and all that.
Today, YouTube has announced a new, customized tarot card reading experience, which uses popular YouTubers as characters on its tarot card displays.
As explained by YouTube:
“The tarot community on YouTube has grown significantly over the past few years. In fact, last year, videos with “tarot” in the title were viewed more than 250 million times in the US. To celebrate the tarot card community, we partnered with some of your favorite creators and artists to bring you a personalized tarot experience.
To access your own tarot card reading, you can tap on the YouTube logo today (June 7th) or click on this link.
“Our creators, Lavendaire, Vanessa Somuayina and Ediyasmr will read your cards from a custom, YouTube-inspired tarot deck featuring familiar faces like Safiya Nygaard, Larray, BLACKPINK and other popular creators and artists! They’ll also help you discover your Soul card, which is calculated based on your date of birth and shares insights on your innate traits and personal path in life.”

You can then share your reading and Soul card on social media, letting everybody know that you probably also drink chai tea, and have at least one dream catcher up in our home.

‘Hang on,’ I hear you say, ‘this website is about social media marketing, what do I care about unicorns and wizards?’
Well, probably not much, but it is worth noting the rising interest in tarot readings and related elements, especially among younger audiences.
Indeed, Snapchat added Astrological Profiles back in 2020, in response to the rising user engagement with the topic, which some research suggests could be related to the pandemic, and the impacts and stresses that it’s generated.
With that in mind, it is worth considering the overall engagement in the mystic arts, and if/how that relates to your own audience and promotions.
Or, you might just want to get a YouTube tarot reading, and see your favorite streamers on these cards.
It’s a little weird, but may be of interest.

‘Stop the hate’ online, UN chief pleads on Holocaust Day

The UN secretary-general warned of social media’s role in spreading violent extremism around the globe as he marked Holocaust Remembrance Day on Friday, urging policy makers to help stop online hate.
Antonio Guterres said parts of the internet were turning into “toxic waste dumps for hate and vicious lies” that were driving “extremism from the margins to the mainstream.”
“Today, I am issuing an urgent appeal to everyone with influence across the information ecosystem,” Guterres said at a commemoration ceremony at the United Nations. “Stop the hate. Set up guardrails. And enforce them.”
He accused social media platforms and advertisers of profiting off the spread of hateful content.
“By using algorithms that amplify hate to keep users glued to their screens, social media platforms are complicit,” added Guterres. “And so are the advertisers subsidizing this business model.”
Guterres drew parallels with the rise of Nazism in 1930s Germany, when people didn’t pay attention or protest.
“Today, we can hear echoes of those same siren songs to hate. From an economic crisis that is breeding discontent to populist demagogues using the crisis to seduce voters to runaway misinformation, paranoid conspiracy theories and unchecked hate speech.”
He lamented the rise of anti-Semitism, which he said also reflects a rise of all kinds of hate.
“And what is true for anti-Semitism is true for other forms of hate. Racism. Anti-Muslim bigotry. Xenophobia. Homophobia. Misogyny”

The Most Visited Websites in the World – 2023 Edition [Infographic]
![The Most Visited Websites in the World - 2023 Edition [Infographic]](https://articles.entireweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/1674846578_The-Most-Visited-Websites-in-the-World-2023-Edition.png)
Google remains the most-visited website in the world, while Facebook is still the most frequented social platform, based on web traffic. Well, actually, YouTube is, but YouTube’s only a partial social app, right?
The findings are displayed in this new visualization from Visual Capitalist, which uses SimilarWeb data to show the most visited websites in bubble chart format, highlighting the variance in traffic.
As you can see, following Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are the next most visited social platforms, which is likely in line with what most would expect – though the low numbers for TikTok probably stand out, given its dominance of modern media zeitgeist.
But there is a reason for that – this data is based on website visits, not app usage, so platforms like TikTok and Snapchat, which are primarily focused on the in-app experience, won’t fare as well in this particular overview.
In that sense, it’s interesting to see which social platforms are engaging audiences via their desktop offerings.
You can check out the full overview below, and you can read Visual Capitalist’s full explainer here.
