We last got updated numbers in October 2020, when the service said it had “more than 3 million” paid subscribers. It hasn’t updated us since then, and Hulu With Live TV just announced it was back at 4 million paid subscribers.

You Asked: Can YouTube actually fix OLED burn-in?
You Asked Ep 53

On today’s episode of You Asked: Can certain videos on YouTube actually help fix burn-in on your OLED TV, or will they make things worse? We’ll also revisit the best TVs for watching sports, and talk about how to record and watch sports if you’ve got a dumb TV in a spare room. And we've got a quick run-through on the best picture settings for your new TV.

I am skeptical about this video's ability to do any good and am concerned that it may further damage my scree, which otherwise is still usable. What say you?
