"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".

Get the youtubemug. A Youtube smack is when you call someone over, play a really long video, and at the end, reveal to them that it's a Youtube video. The purpose of this is usually to satisfy them with a good amount of progress so they can relax when they get back home. Sometimes, if you know each other well, this is done on their account, conveniently saving the progress for them. If it's on your account, they can simply buffer the end of the video on their account when they get back home and the video will automatically be finished for them.
Friend 1: I Youtube smacked Vincent yesterday.
Friend 2: Really?
Friend 1: Yeah. Now he's spending today just relaxing at home.
Friend 2: What video?
Friend 1: Since it was the only day we'd be meeting this week, I used a half an hour long restoration video.
Friend 2: Well it sure is nice to be satisfied, isn't it?
Friend 1: Yeah.
