Dec 04, 2025 ] minute read Later tonight we are thrilled to raise a glass to the AAPI trailblazers, storytellers, and community leaders who continue to shape the world of YouTube and beyond. The annual YouTube AAPI Gala is more than just an event; it's a recognition of the diverse talent, cultural richness, and powerful impact of Asian American and Pacific Islander creators. From powerful documentaries to inspiring narratives to groundbreaking DIYs, these creators are building movements, starting conversations, and showing the world what happens when you follow your vision—no matter how big or ambitious it is. They aren’t just making content; they’re building communities, breaking down barriers, and redefining what's possible. This year, we are incredibly proud to honor three extraordinary creators who perfectly embody this spirit: Dhar Mann , LaurDIY , and Michelle Khare . Join us as we take a closer look at the inspirational journeys of these honorees and celebrate their undeniable impact! “I assumed inclusion and visibility was reserved for those who looked “more Asian” or grew up closer to their culture. Over time, though, I realized identity isn’t a gate-kept performance, it’s a lived experience.” Lauren Riihimaki (LaurDIY) How does your identity as an

YouTube is rolling out title A/B testing globally to all creators with access to advanced features, expanding the testing capability beyond the select group that had early access. The announcement came via the platform’s Creator Insider channel, clarifying how the feature works and addressing common questions from creators. Title A/B testing joins thumbnail testing in YouTube’s “Test and Compare” tool. You can test up to three titles, three thumbnails, or combinations of both on a single video. How Title A/B Testing Works The A/B testing tool compares performance across experiment variations over a set period of up to two weeks. After testing concludes, YouTube notifies creators of the results. If there’s a clear winner, that option becomes the default shown to all viewers. If all options performed similarly, the first combination becomes the default. You can override the automatic selection at any time through the metadata editor or YouTube analytics page. Why YouTube Uses Watch Time Over CTR YouTube optimizes test results based on watch time rather than click-through rate. In the Creator Insider video, the company explained: “We want to ensure that your A/B test experiment gets the highest viewer engagement, so we’re optimizing for overall watch time over

YouTube Recap 2025 marks their first ever Spotify Wrapped style shareable for users’ end of year stats on the video platform. Spotify Wrapped has dropped, so expect socials to go crazy with everyone’s year-end listening stats. The massive success of Wrapped has led many other platforms to launch similar, year end wrap-ups for their users. Now YouTube is joining. YouTube Recap 2025 will take viewers through what they watched this year. The feature is 100% personalised, building the stats directly from users’ YouTube watch history throughout 2025. ouTube Recap 2025 gives you a dynamic, story-style slideshow composed of up to 12 custom cards. It’s designed to capture the true diversity of your viewing habits—from your deep dives into niche topics to the channels you binged most often. The cards highlight: Your Top Channels and interests How your viewing habits evolved over the year Unique moments that defined your viewing journey Discover your YouTube personality type The coolest part of the new YouTube Recap—and the element designed purely for social sharing—is the debut of the viewer personality types. After extensive user feedback and testing (nine rounds, over 50 concepts!), YouTube realized that behind the data were unique personas. Your viewing behaviour

YouTube launched its first Recap, but users say it's inaccurate and barebones. Spotify Wrapped, meanwhile, dominated the internet — again — with new features. Lee Chong Ming/YouTube; Spotify YouTube launched "Recap" on Tuesday, its first year-end roundup for users. While Spotify Wrapped dominated social media this week, YouTube's version barely registered. Some users say Recap fell short, with inaccuracies and missing data. While the internet is buzzing over this year's Spotify Wrapped — especially with its new "listening age" feature — another platform has slipped out its year-end recap with much less fanfare. YouTube unveiled "Recap" on Tuesday, its first attempt at a Wrapped-style experience. The platform said "Recap" is available to US users with a global rollout coming later this week. The feature compiles up to 12 cards that showcase users' top channels, interests, and how their tastes have shifted over time. It also assigns them a viewing personality based on their watch history. Meanwhile, Spotify Wrapped kept its signature stats — minutes listened, top artists, and artist messages — and introduced a slate of new features this year. Users get a "listening age," a fan leaderboard, placement into one of six listening "clubs," and a listening archive that

The Influencer Lilly Gaddis has claimed that her YouTube channel has been demonetized for being “too pro-White.” Gaddis, who has a following of over 240,000 on X and over 60,000 on Instagram, describes herself as a “Free speech enthusiast🇺🇸” in her Instagram bio. She has regularly used racial slurs and worn Black face. Newsweek reached out to Google, YouTube’s parent company, via email and Gaddis via social media, for comment. Why It Matters Gaddis’s name hit the headlines in June 2024 after she used a racial slur in a cooking video shared on TikTok, where it amassed millions of views before her account was suspended. Gaddis ultimately lost her job over the video, but despite the fallout, refused to apologize, and said in a social media video afterward, “All the backlash made me do a deep dive and a soul search, and after all that, I still couldn’t find a care.” Gaddis describes herself as a “tradwife”—a modern-day housewife who embraces traditional gender roles, centering her life around homemaking, child care, and supporting her husband. It is unclear whether Gaddis is married. What To Know In a recent video from her Rumble show, shared on X, she said, “I have

Watch: Australia's social media ban explained... in 60 seconds YouTube says Australia's "rushed" new laws to block teens from its platform will mean children will be less safe as its "robust parental controls" will be stripped away. Parents will "lose their ability to supervise their teen or tween's account" such as content settings or blocking channels from 10 December when a social media ban for under-16s starts. Children will still be able to view videos but without an account. Communications Minister Anika Wells responded by saying it was "outright weird" that YouTube was highlighting the dangers of its platform for children. "If YouTube is reminding us all that it is not safe ... that's a problem that YouTube needs to fix," Wells said on Wednesday. The platform's statement comes as Australia's internet regulator sets her sights on two little-known apps that teens have flocked to in the lead-up to the country's social media ban. Lemon8, owned by the creators behind TikTok, and Yope are video and photo-sharing apps that have seen a rise in downloads recently, prompting eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant to ask them to self-assess if they fall under the ban. The government reversed an exemption for YouTube
