Italian musician Davide Biale, known by his online alias “Davie504,” became the first YouTuber in Taiwan whose channel crossed the benchmark of 10 million subscribers, on Dec. 6. The 27-year-old YouTuber is known for playing the bass guitar online. Since his videos are in English, he can attract more fans from across the world.
Other top channels with most subscribers in Taiwan include: Jay Lee Painting (4.72 million subscribers), Vidol TV (3.9 million subscribers) and This Group of People (3.44 million subscribers). Surprisingly, YouTuber Xiaoyu’s channel is still followed by as many as 1.39 million users, despite his scandal of creating and selling “deepfake” porn videos featuring over 100 politicians and celebrities.
Early this month, YouTube named “Pui Pui Molcar” as the most-viewed video on the online video platform in Taiwan this year. The show is a Japanese stop-motion mini anime series featuring several guinea pig-shaped cars, known as “Molcars.”

本月初，YouTube亦公布《天竺鼠車車》為今年台灣最熱門影片。該日本定格迷你動畫，是關於一些天竺鼠造型的汽車所發生的故事。

The human body was not built for spaceflight, with its microgravity conditions, exposure to high-energy radiation and other issues. As a result, trekking beyond the Earth’s confines causes many physiological changes that affect an astronaut’s health. The issue gained new currency with the March mission to return astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to Earth after they were stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months. WHY IS SPACE TRAVEL TOUGH ON THE HUMAN BODY? The human body evolved over millions of years to function optimally in Earth’s environment, which includes its gravity, atmospheric composition and relatively low levels of
