Padel is not just another sport. It's a mix of tennis and squash, which is increasingly appearing in calendars instead of regular meetings. It appeared back in 1969 in Mexico, and became especially popular in Europe. Today, there are more than 30 million players in 90+ countries. Spain, Sweden, and Argentina are among the top countries. And in Ukraine, padel has long since grown out of "something new": tournaments, new clubs, and a community on a roll every month. According to the latest estimates, there are about 50,000 players in the country. And yes, this is just the beginning. Padel is especially easy to enter the digital environment.

We tell you about advanced AI programs that take the burden of routine off the marketer's shoulders and deliver a cool result.

What is naming in simple terms? Naming is not just coming up with a name, but creating a semantic code that conveys the essence of the brand in a few syllables. A unique name can encode an emotion, a “promise” or an idea that a company carries. That's why successful naming works like a spotlight for the client - it instantly conveys who you are, for whom and why you can be trusted. This is the first and one of the longest contacts with the audience, forming the attitude towards the brand even before the product itself. Why is it important to choose the right brand name? The right name is already a significant brand bonus. After all, it significantly affects the perception of the company by the audience.

Many people have already gotten used to watching YouTube without ads in a "workaround" way. You turn on one plugin, make a few clicks, and that's it, a video without "guess what happened to my skin after this cream" and Lovare tea. But it looks like this era is coming to an end."

Video as in 2008: what's going on? Recently, watching YouTube has become a real quest for many people. People joke that videos are reminiscent of the days when everyone used to sit on a slow internet connection and watch videos in 240p quality.

Over the past day, Reddit users have started complaining en masse that YouTube automatically turns on low video quality (from 144p to 360p) even if they have perfectly stable Wi-Fi or high-speed mobile internet. Changing it manually doesn't always help either. The video starts to freeze, stops, or simply switches back to low quality. Reddit users write: "Why is the automatic 'higher picture quality' now 240p?" and other comments: The scale of the problem The problem does not depend on specific gadgets or browsers...
