Who says no one cares about ballet? These Gen Z YouTubers are making it cool

“Everyone is at least a dormant ballet nerd,” declares 22-year-old Eden Lim, while sitting for an interview in the suburban Dallas studio where she and her sister, Jordan, 24, film and edit their popular YouTube channel “Ballet Reign.” Judging from the near-universal backlash to Timothée Chalamet’s recent bad-mouthing of ballet, Eden’s summation of the central tenet of their show may be true. With 67,000 subscribers in 166 countries and growing, the Lim sisters are mixing Gen Z humor and exuberance with astounding erudition to bring ballet to a new generation and fire up older, longtime fans. With episode titles such as “Addictive Ballet Moments to Alter your Brain Chemistry” and promises like “This will increase your lifespan and double your morale,” they are on a mission to ensure that ballet not only survives but thrives. Mirthfulness is the Lim sisters’ medium, but their message is serious. During each show, they parse video clips of great performances, often by explaining the history of the piece and giving detailed behind-the-scenes stories. They dissect the most famous pas de deux with trenchant insight and introduce their audience to the greatest dancers, including Natalia Osipova and Roberto Bolle. With signature, irrepressible enthusiasm, the sisters

YouTube has a playlist problem that no one is talking about – Android Police

Published Mar 29, 2026, 7:00 AM EDT Rahul Naskar has years of experience writing news and features related to Android, phones, and apps. Outside the tech world, he follows global events and developments shaping the world of geopolitics. YouTube has evolved a lot since Google bought the platform. It hasn't become better in all respects, though. Parts of it are way better than they ever were, a small part of it has gotten worse, and then there are things that never really changed. As a Premium subscriber, I equally dislike how the experience deteriorated in some cases and how some of YouTube's glaring issues still exist. The one that bothers me the most is the one that plagues YouTube's playlist the most. This is not limited to YouTube's video platform. YouTube Music also has the same playlist problem. The most irritating part of this is that the playlist problem gets way too little attention on social media than it actually deserves. I don't know why no one talks about it, but I can no longer pretend that it's a minor issue. The issue is big enough for every YouTube user to talk about.

How the landmark verdict against Meta and YouTube could hit their businesses

A Los Angeles jury dealt a blow to social media giants Meta and YouTube this week when it found that the platforms were negligent for designing addictive features that harmed the mental health of a California woman. Both companies plan to appeal, but the ruling has ignited uncertainty around the tech companies’ future and sparked questions about the potential fallout. The seven-week trial kicked off in February, featuring testimony from Meta and YouTube executives. Kaley G.M., a 20-year-old Chico, Calif., woman, sued the platforms in 2023, alleging that using social media at a young age led to her mental health problems such as body dysmorphia and depression. She also sued TikTok and Santa Monica-based Snap and those companies settled ahead of the trial. Lawyers representing the woman argued that the platforms hook in young users with features such as infinite scrolling, autoplaying videos and beauty filters. People use social media to keep up with their friends and family, but teens can also feel inadequate, sad or anxious when they compare themselves to a curated version of other people’s lives online. They’re also spending a lot of time watching a seemingly endless amount of short videos. A jury determined that Meta
