well I guess I missed out then.. I never saw an update -here- about it
I watched 7+ hours friday, 6+ hours saturday, 4+ hours today.
NOTHING. Fuck youtube's drop system. they dont show you the progress intentionally so that you watch more.
(at week 1, I got nothing with my 6+ hours watchtime on friday, watched 4 hours saturday and the moment it hit 2nd & 4th hour saturday I got 1+1 packs. It was like the system basically did not count my watchtime friday, but counted perfectly saturday. This is so messed up. You can never know if the system is counting your hours correctly so it makes you watch much more than needed.)
Weeks 1-3 are cumulative. You only get 2 packs -total- across those first three weeks, so if you got two packs from Week 1, you won't get any more packs for Weeks 2 or 3. You can get another 2 packs next week for the finals.
I thought that was the case. that's why I didnt watched 2nd week. however, these links suggest otherwise:

update: just got the 2 packs. but I still say it's a shitty system
