View source for History of YouTube Unofficial World Records

This is a history of '''YouTube Unofficial World Records''' (abbreviated as '''YTUWR''' or '''YTWB''' (YouTube World Best)). A '''YTUWR''' refers to the fastest solves that have been recorded on video and made publicly available on online platforms (though the term originally referred to records uploaded to only YouTube), regardless if it was set in a WCA competition or not, or if the event is not a WCA event at all. Note that some records may be absent from this page, a complete listing of it is not guaranteed.
