News & Reviews:   YouTube

New update - Google told the media that the recent video loading times aren't caused by the company but rather, due to the newest AdBlock and AdBlock Plus updates.

If you feel the video loading times are longer than usual, you're not alone. According to a few posts on Reddit (like here and there), it has been confirmed that Google/YouTube has purposely slowed down the speed, particularly if you have ad blockers turned on. 

If you love the YouTube app, you might love this hack. According to MacRumors, you can still use YouTube in the background or when the iPhone is locked. Here’s how you can do it.

Google Play Movies & TV will be the latest service and application that the company will send to the graveyard, with the app no longer available on Android, iOS, Roku and most smart TVs. Now, Google has pretty much revealed when the app will stop being supported and how those who have bought media through the app can see them moving forward.

It was only a week ago that we got to know about YouTube Playable's existence. Now, this new feature is being rolled out to YouTube Premium members but not globally yet, as we can't access it in Malaysia. 

If you are experiencing slow loading times on YouTube, this could be the trigger to your issue. Recently, YouTube confirmed that Ad-Blocker users will experience “suboptimal viewing” while on the platform. That said, what should you know about it?

Apparently, Google has been developing a new feature on YouTube called Playables. As the name suggests, there will be a new section on the YouTube app to let you play games on it. At the moment, the beta version is rolling out to select users but here's what it looks like. 

Having features added to platforms isn't anything new. But if there's a domain that many are wary of, it would have to be artificial intelligence (AI). In YouTube's case, the company is allegedly working on new features for AI-generated audio tracks.

Google is at it again. The company has just raised the YouTube Premium subscription in seven countries - Argentina, Australia, Austria, Chile, Germany, Poland, and Turkey. Thankfully, Malaysia was spared but we also recently got one a few months ago so there was no need to. 

If you frequently use ad-blockers to bypass Youtube ads, this news might surprise you. Recently, Youtube launched a global effort to counter ad-blockers. That said, what should you know about it?

If you are a frequent user of TikTok, this news might surprise you. According to a Social Media Expert, Matt Navarra, TikTok could extend the maximum length of videos that you can upload on the platform. That said, what should you know about it?
