  In the alternate ending, it isn’t all about Dr. Robert Neville magically  fixing things with his miracle cure . Rather, there’s no cure to begin with, nor is there a gigantic grenade-induced death of Robert or the leader of the Hemocytes (Dash Mihok). Rather, Robert returns his female test subject to her mate, who has only been trying to retrieve his beloved.  Robert, Anna and Ethan leave New York in I Am Legend’s alternate ending, with a radio message detailing their eventual position. Rather than a more action-packed ending that apparently tested better  with audiences, this course of events pushes a theme that better fits the movie that came before it. It also opens those important doors that could make for an intriguing sequel. 

  During the earnings call, Google’s  Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said that the company is “pleased with our continuing progress  in early monetization.” The company’s Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat said that YouTube is “prioritizing continued growth in Shorts engagement and monetization.” The statements from Google’s execs mimic the sentiment from Meta’s top brass, who counted Instagram Reels and the company’s algorithmic recommendation engine as its top priorities in coming months.
