@mingliangma that's the curious thing: people love to watch stuff and talk to friends while they do it (from millennials and back).

@lyondhur I have a 10 years old brother who watches Youtube all the time. I asked him to download it and gave it a try. At first he thinks the UI is really cool, and love the color palette.
