The Nepal one is really simplifying it. Firstly, it was not only YouTube, it was almost every social media. Even then, the main cause was children of the politicians openly flaunting their corruption money on the same social media sites while the general population suffers.

The government banned 27 social media sites, Gen Z erupted in huge protests everywhere. Then the government tried to use the military to put down the protests and nineteen were killed, which made the rioting a thousand times worse and the parliament building (among others) was burnt down.

To make a long story short

That was a great opportunity to also add the drone attack on Poland, Russian jets flying in Estonian airspace and the devistating Typhoon (or whatever it is in the Caribbean) in Jamaica.

When those drones were sighted in Poland, and rightfully shot down, I was joking that apparently yet another world war is beginning with the words "This night, for the first time, Polish soldiers fired..."
