In 2021, the top trending videos, content and channels that have garnered the interest of local viewers mostly share the common quality of being experiential, raw, and spontaneous.
Astro Gempak’s hit series Rindu Awak Separuh Nyawa, Syahmi Sazli’s impromptu styled skit Avengers versi Kelantan, Dona’s spicy Noodle Mukbang challenge, and Aqil Zulkiflee’s demonstration of ice-cream-making from scratch are examples which embody these qualities.
The videos were determined by in-country views of videos uploaded in 2021, and considers many factors including (but not limited to) view count.
