The leaderboard shows videos from up-and-coming creators that have been uploaded within the previous seven days and endorsed by fans. When viewers show extra love to creators by hyping their new videos, the videos are given points and YouTube automatically applies bonus points depending on the creator's subscriber count. The fewer subscribers a creator has, the more bonus points are applied each time that viewers hype. The videos with the most points are added to a leaderboard so that viewers can find the freshest content that others have hyped. With bonus points based on a creator's subscriber count, eligible creators of all sizes have the chance to reach the top of the leaderboard.
The leaderboard isn't personalised and displays the same list of videos to all viewers in the same country. The list of most hyped videos is updated about every few minutes. With each update, videos may move up, move down or stay in the same position in the list.
