iOS 14 picture-in-picture video stops working with YouTube’s mobile website
[ad_1] We’ve asked YouTube for comment. It wouldn’t be surprising if the move was intentional.

BTS is the first to rack up 100 million YouTube views in 24 hours
[ad_1] Like with Blackpink’s achievement, this should represent real, organic views. YouTube stopped counting paid ad views toward 24-hour tallies in September 2019, reducing the chances that labels will artificially inflate figures. This probably won’t end the quest for short-term YouTube domination. Labels like to brag about 24-hour view counts, and there will likely be […]
