Netube - Viral Video Blog / Magazine WordPress Theme 1.1.6

Netube is a powerhouse WordPress theme engineered for "viral" content—specifically video magazines and high-traffic blogs. Developed by zozothemes, it is designed to mimic the high-engagement feel of platforms like YouTube or Twitch, providing users with a "dark mode" aesthetic and seamless video integration.

Core Viral & Video Features

Front-End Submission: A crucial "viral" feature that allows your visitors to upload or link their own videos (YouTube/Vimeo) directly from your site without needing access to the WordPress dashboard.

Smart Video Management: Includes built-in support for Video Channels and Video Playlists, letting you group content just like a professional streaming service.

16+ Pre-made Demos: Offers multiple "niche" designs, from gaming and movie reviews to news portals, all importable with one click.

Extensive Ad Management: Since it's a "viral" theme, monetization is a priority. It features a robust system to place ads in headers, sidebars, within articles, or as pop-ups.

Rating System: Allows users to interact with your content by rating videos and articles, which helps highlight "trending" content to other visitors.
