The period of 2012-2013 was a turning point for YouTube in the Maghreb. The platform was rapidly transforming from a video-sharing site into a major cultural hub. According to Google, YouTube was seeing over 260 million views per day across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by 2012, and it was increasingly becoming the primary source of entertainment for the region's youth.

Moroccan and Tunisian fashion enthusiasts began embracing the style, sharing their own 9hab-inspired looks on social media. The hashtag #9hab started trending on Twitter and Instagram, with influencers and celebrities showcasing their bold fashion choices. YouTube channels dedicated to 9hab fashion emerged, offering tutorials, hauls, and style advice to a growing audience.

I also need to search for "bnat algeria YouTube 2012" and "bnat algerie 2012 video". search results are not directly showing the specific videos. The user's keyword string seems to be a "long tail keyword" that people might type into YouTube to find specific content.
