Topic channels
Could there be a section on this article for topic channels? Or is it not notable enough Jorge906 (talk) 16:51, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

ADD to External links

:{{done}} That type of story works best incorporated into the article, but barring that it fits better in Further reading than External links. I've added it there. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 16:41, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
For the History Section you should probably add how youtube slightly changed its logo a few months ago.

:In 2024, people spotted that the red in the logo had been given a more pinkish hue.[https://www.uniladtech.com/social-media/youtube/youtube-changes-logo-7-years-372953-20241025] This is mentioned in the file description at [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:YouTube_2024.svg File:YouTube 2024.svg] which has the up to date version. This was a subtle change that did not attract much media attention, so it may not be necessary to mention it per WP:DUE, but someone may add it.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 17:59, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

"Manifest V3 allows YouTube to inject the ads directly into the video, instead of having the ad as a separate file which can be blocked."
This sentence at YouTube#Recent history (2023–present) is simply incorrect. Manifest V3 (client side) is a wholly separate technology from server-side ad injection (SSAI). The [https://lifehacker.com/tech/youtube-experimenting-with-a-way-to-kill-ad-blockers-for-good provided citation] doesn't even mention MV3 anywhere. Counterintuitively, Manifest V3 reduces the need to use SSAI as it limits the functionality of ad blockers. As such, I would request the sentence in question to be either removed or modified to reflect the true nature of this subject. 86.115.111.250 (talk) 12:33, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

This is a list of games on YouTube, including League of Legends, Minecraft, Roblox, Angry Birds, Thief Puzzle, and Color Burst 3D. 184.146.105.207 (talk) 20:42, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
:This is mentioned in the Playables section, but it isn't intended to be an exhaustive list and maybe should be split off into a separate article as there are over 75 games .--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:03, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
