Completing the ranking are “Talahon,” which was nominated for youth word of the year, the blockbuster “Deadpool & Wolverine” and the series “Hazbin Hotel.”
According to YouTube, the evaluation is based on various metrics, including views. Topic areas were taken into account that stood out in Germany either due to a significant increase in user interest or as a complete innovation. The topic areas were not mentioned in any particular order.
