First off, YouTube celebrated its annual fanfest last 02 November 2020. It’s a virtual event participated by the biggest YouTube sensations both on-screen and on the live stage. The main part of the event is dancing with Matt Steffanina, a famous choreographer and dancer.
Second, YouTube introduced other ad formats making the competition stiffer. These include audio ads, mid-roll ads, and non-monetized ads. With the said additions, YouTube ads generated more than 470 million views and 1.3 million likes.
Before the year-end, YouTube announces its Top 10 Ads in the Leaderboard. These are:

As observed, the list features several Superbowl video ads but it was Nike who took the number 1 spot the 2nd time around. Nike’s You Can’t Stop Us is about the power of resilience. It highlights the return of Lebron James, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, and other sports personalities. The number 2 spot goes to Superbowl’s Loretta which is a true story of an 85-year-old man, the Grandfather of a Google employee.
