Weekly News, YouTube to stop 30 sec ads!


YouTube announced that they are going to get rid of the 30 second ads that you can’t skip and that are annoying. Ad’s (Adverts) are a big part of how YouTubers or Video owners make lots of money. The more views they get for the adverts the more they will earn money and get paid from YouTube.

YouTube gives everyone the option to skip ads after five seconds. But it is always not the case, sometimes you have to watch 30 second ad before being able to watch the video you want to watch. But, the feedback on 30 second ads are shown that people stopped watching videos because of how long the ads were.

There are pee in every public pool in the world, if you don’t know, now you know. But I wonder how much pee is in a public pool? Well scientists have studied that Canada had found a large pool that contains 830,000 litres that could have 75 litres of urine.


Scientists have developed a test to see how much urine is in a pool, they have a new technique and it measures the level of the artificial sweetener that was found in processed food which it is passed unaltered in urine.

Someone at a university studied the new provided evidence and people were indeed peeing inside the pools!

The scientists have sampled 31 pools and they have used the average concentration on the artificial sweetener in the Canadian urine to approximate the volume of the urine inside the pools

They say it is a myth that the public pools add dye in their water so it forms a colored cloud around the swimmers who pee in the pools.

Next time you swim in a pool you'll probably be swimming in pee.
