First off, YouTube is expanding its “For you” section with new, customized suggestions for channel viewers based on their prior viewing habits.

As told by YouTube:

It will be personalized based on the videos they’ve already watched, their topic affinity, and so on. Personalization will be especially effective if your channel has multiple topics languages or content formats.”

Directing users to videos of yours that they haven’t seen, as opposed to forcing them to browse the complete list on their own, might be more successful to increase interaction. Additionally, YouTube is putting back the “Sort by oldest” channel filter, which was previously deleted when it added distinct filters for Shorts and Live Streams last year.

‘Sort by Oldest’ could no longer be supported with the distinct content filters, however, YouTube has now rebuilt the system to once again include this as a search option.

YouTube also wants to make it easier to view channels by hiding tabs that don’t have any content or that have information that may be found in another element.

The YouTube blog posted about the days recently in the past week which focused on the days and creators on YouTube who highlight the days quite beautifully.

Star Wars Day

There may not be a finer illustration of fandom with deep roots than the Star Wars community on YouTube. They have advanced it when they combine that fandom with video games. The Star Wars gaming community actually uploads over 1,000 Star Wars-related gaming videos to YouTube every single day.

These gaming videos also show more than just gameplay. They feature extraordinary efforts made by the community to bring the Star Wars universe to life, such as fan fiction cinematic masterpieces, reenactments, historical lessons, and in-depth lore from some of the top players.

For more than ten years, writers and artists have used Star Wars video games to inspire fan fiction stories and sketches, remixing, retelling, reinventing, and parodying Star Wars within and via the games.

The Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR, KOTOR 2, and Star Wars: The Old Republic) video games are treated by YouTube creators both as standalone narratives distinct from the Star Wars film universe and as essential components of Star Wars lore and history related to the larger brand. They dig into in-depth analysis and video essays to piece together the KOTOR characters and stories that are exclusive to the game as well as any potential effects on the existing canon.

“With Star Wars gaming videos averaging millions of views a day, there’s no end to the creativity, excitement and passion for Star Wars within the YouTube Gaming community. May the 4th be with you.”

Nail Day

Although Nail Day is undoubtedly a niche occasion, it honors a group of nail artists whose modern works are anything but niche: In 2022, there were more than 5 billion views of nail art-related videos worldwide. There are a lot of nails, polish, and 3D decorations there.

The appeal of nail art is influenced by its adaptability and accessibility, in part. To begin with, it crosses the lines between beauty, art, and learning rather than fitting neatly into a single vertical. Then there is the purely aesthetic appeal, leading to videos that are language-independent and enable Korean artists to connect with Brazilian audiences and vice versa. Both bigger pop culture moments and interesting trends can be reflected in nail art (polish mountain, anyone?). The ten-finger canvas can be used as a means to tap away tension or as a way to get to know someone better through storytimes.

“Head to YouTube and you’ll find a temporary takeover of the YouTube logo, a playlist celebrating just a small selection of recent standout designs, and an original video narrated by a creator who’s put everything from $1,000 press-ons to snow globe-style acrylics to the test.”, wrote YouTube in its blog.

There is a nail art video out there for everyone, whether you want to create your own miniature work of art or just relax to the sounds of buffing and filing.
