News & Reviews:   YouTube announce

Back in early April this year, YouTube introduced enhanced 1080p for iPhone YouTube Premium users. However, that option is making its way to Premium users globally on their desktops as it was confirmed by a YouTube spokesperson.

If you're an uprising content creator on YouTube, this is good news for you. YouTube is lowering the requirements for the YouTube Partner Program and it's much easier to get monetised and ads-revenue. However, this initiative is only rolling out for selected countries.

Do you like watching YouTube on your smart TV? Well, bad news for you because the company is planning to put longer unskippable ads, even when your video is paused. Well, starting with the Americans first.

If you are a YouTube Premium member, you're in luck because YouTube is going to introduce an enhanced 1080p video. However, it seems that it will only benefit iPhone and iPad users.

As the year comes to a close, YouTube did a list of the top 10's from various countries including Malaysia. If you are curious about the top creators, artists and videos that captured the collective imagination of fans in Malaysia, you're at the right place. 

Bad news for YouTube Premium family plan users - the monthly fee just got a price increase. Good news - the Malaysian market isn't affected by it but we can't help to think it's only temporary.

If you are subscribed to YouTube Premium, there's a good chance that you have watched some intriguing YouTube Originals shows from some of your favourite YouTubers. You might also want to catch up on some of the episodes too because YouTube just announced that they will shift their focus away from YouTube Originals.

Whenever a YouTube channel does something wrong, it will inevitably get a ton of dislikes such as the recent YouTube rewinds and the latest Shin Megami Tensei V video game review by IGN (yes, they messed up again lol). However, it has brought attention to YouTube about the dislike button and from now onwards, the dislike count will be private across the platform.

Every year, it's a tradition for YouTube to do a YouTube Rewind to remind us of what happened during a particular year. However, if you watch a lot of YouTube videos, you would know that YouTube Rewind has gotten worst recently and looks like we won't be seeing one this year.

If you are part of the BTS Army and love dancing, you now have a chance to "dance" with BTS on YouTube. This Permission to Dance Challenge will be held exclusively on YouTube Shorts starting this Friday, 23 July until 14 August 2021.
