News & Reviews:   YouTube announce

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. 

If you watch a lot of YouTube videos, there's a good chance that you might have come across some lengthy videos with chapter timelines. That said, it's also a lot of work for YouTubers to manually input the details which you can find in the description video. 

Yup, you read that right. YouTube have just officially called off their annual YouTube Rewind special for 2020. The announcement was just made a few hours ago on their official Twitter page explaining why.

Update - @TeamYouTube just announced that the services are now back online, we just double checked that both YouTube and YouTube Music are working fine now. Enjoy your day!

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.
