YouTube News

"YouTube news" is another way of saying "old news" or "I already heard about it". If someone tells you something that you have already heard about, you can respond by saying "YouTube news".

This phrase communicates that, like news that spreads throughout the universe very quickly via YouTube, you have already heard about it. It takes 5 minutes for new news to mature into YouTube news (aka old news).

Thanks to YouTube (and texting), news gets old really fast. YouTube news is new news that is already old. However, YouTube news does not have to refer to things that are ACTUALLY on YouTube. "You Tube news" usually refers to things that only matter to you, your personal friends, and the fake friends you have on facebook.

HOW TO USE THE PHRASE:

You usually just say, "YouTube news" without any other words accompanying the phrase. The words "YouTube news" explain exactly what you mean all by themselves.

If it has been 5 minutes since an event, there is a 99.9% chance that EVERYONE who could possibly give a shit about it already knows every damn detail (thanks to texting). Consequentially, the phrase "It's been 5 minutes" can be used in conjunction with the phrase "YouTube news".
EXAMPLE 1:

MARY: Guess what! Johnny and I got engaged!

BILLY: YouTube news.

MARY: But he only proposed 5 minutes ago.

BILLY: Yeah, I know.

EXAMPLE 2:

JILL: You're never going to believe this: Heather's car broke down in the middle of the Siberian tundra and she almost froze to death.

BOBBY: YouTube news. It's been 5 minutes.

EXAMPLE 3:

MARK: Dude, I spilled my coffee on an old lady and she burned to death.

JOHN: It's been 5 minutes. Already heard about it.

MARK: Damn YouTube news.

EXAMPLE 4:

OSCAR: Hey man, you're never going to believe this! I got a call from... oh yeah, it's been 5 minutes. You already know about it.

JACK: Yeah, YouTube news.

YouTube: Insanity Apocalypse is a predicted event that will result in the destruction or failure of YouTube. This is predicted with problems on YouTube such as the YouTube copyright system, unnecessary demonetization and stupid rules and guidelines. This event started in 2017 witht the problems of the YouTube copyright system. In 2018, the EU has successfully implemented Article 17 (formerly known as Article 15 and Article 13) and has now mainly demonetized the entire United Kingdom using copyrighted content. Now in 2019, a YouTuber named Steven Crowder made fun of a Vox journalist's sexuality. Due to this YouTube implemented "Creator-On-Creator harassment" which basically prevents YouTubers from criticizing each other and calling each other out. Due to this several channels have been demonetized such as #DramaAlert, Combat Wombat, TheTekkitRealm, Optimus, JT, Kodak Wk and many others. A YouTube commentary channel named Fainted has been terminated due to "harassment" even though it was a harmless video based on constructive criticism. Future predictions include the destruction of YouTube gaming.
