News & Reviews:   YouTube

The game developer Rare recently uploaded on their Youtube account, announcing that the video games “Sea of Thieves” will be officially available on Steam at the price of USD40 (~RM174) from 3 Junes 2020 onwards. Those who had the game on the Microsoft Store can import their progress to the Steam edition without needing to start over.

Currently, most countries are still having an on-going battle against COVID-19, as well as false information circulating around online and scammers exploiting people with financial difficulties. However, for India they too have another battle which is....voting down TikTok. What is going on?

If you're looking for more shows to watch during your free time, there's plenty of options to go around these days. Streaming platforms like Netflix have been providing free access to certain content to draw more users and the strategy is paying off. So, it's no surprise that YouTube wants to do something similar by announcing new YouTube Originals that will be available for free.

Sailor Moon is one of the OG anime series and how can we forget that! If you want to watch the series now, some of you may find it hard to look for the source (at least legally) nowadays. The series is currently available on HULU, which is a streaming service that is not available in our country yet. However, the good news is here! The official YouTube channel of Sailor Moon will be starting to upload the series onto the platform starting from 24 April.

Google recently introduced a new tab in the Youtube Music app called “Explore” which lets the user find new music based on your listening history on the app. Furthermore, Google split the Explore tab into several sub-sections including “Chill”, “Commute”, “Focus”, and more which lets you determine the mood of the music you are listening to.

Have y’all noticed a few changes that have been made to your YouTube app recently? It looks like YouTube has been making changes here and there through app updates to bring better experiences for the users. From the user interface to new features, the popular video-sharing platform has revealed a few things that we might see on the app, which includes a feature called video chapters.

Yesterday, we found out that there are people crazy enough to burn down some 5G transmitter towers in the UK because of a silly conspiracy theory. The conspiracy theory, which was started by an influencer (or more like influenza lol) managed to convince some people that the COVID-19 is somehow linked to the 5G signal strength, thus weakening our body immune system. In response to that, YouTube have decided to remove all video that links to that conspiracy theory.

YouTube has been around for a long time and has long dominated the video content market. But when TikTok showed up, it changed the dynamics of the game and people started to flock to the platform. Well, it looks like YouTube is ready to take the fight to TikTok with the creation of its version of short-form videos called Shorts.

When you're stuck at home staring at the four walls, sometimes a little bit of music is just what you need. YouTube Music is just in time with something new too, with an update being rolled out to add built-in lyrics to the app. Note that the update isn't available to every region yet, as it seems that we don't have it yet here in Malaysia.

As many of you may have noticed, but YouTube have officially come forward to announce that their video quality setting has been lowered. We know, it's annoying to see such inferior resolution but it will only be temporarily for 30 days. Also, this is so that the servers can keep up with everyone staying at home binge-watching YouTube videos.
