Traditionally, Rewind is eagerly anticipated by viewers – keen to spot their favorite creator, as well as cultural references they “get.”
They betrayed their own creators, fundamentally.Every December, YouTube wraps up the year with a mash-up bringing together some of YouTube’s most recognizable faces and stand-out events from the previous 12 months. Long story short, too little Youtube, far too much political and corporate influence. No raunchiness at all lmao, which comprises a massive portion of Youtubes community: They couldn't even put it H3H3, Idubbbz, or a hundred other people recognized for being offensive.There was no Pewdiepie (or any pewds at all) vs T-Series, no Logan Paul-KSI (I don't like them but c'mon that should have made it), no Tik-Tok memes, no homage to those recognized people who died, no Knoe de Wae meme or any other notable trend besides some of the music.
There was hardly any people involved that anyone could recognize (not to be rude but I could literally only pick out like 10 people, and 4 of them were animators).There was less Youtubers and more traditional TV: Will Smith, who doesn't even fucking Youtube regularly, had something like the most airtime out of all participants Talk-show hosts were given a spotlight, including one of the most hated, John Oliver (which is asinine as they don't even have Youtube-specific shows, they just post clips of their interviews which initially aired on television).Was far too politically charged and obvious about it (I'm sure we can all get behind a message for equality but Youtube low-key jammed it down our throats this year and it went overboard and became a turnoff to even people on the political left).The reasons for why it has gone downhill are numerous.Īs opposed to Youtube 2012-2013, which have great like-dislike ratios, Youtube Rewind 2018:
YOUTUBE REWIND 2018 FREE
What do you believe has caused the downhill of YouTube Rewind over recent years?įollowing the theme of 'everyone controls rewind', if you were to make YouTube rewind this year, which YouTubers would you show and in what ways?ĭo you think YouTube Rewind will eventually come to an end?ĮDIT: Given that this is a discussion, I think it would be great to include the opinion of actual YouTubers.įeel free to link your favourite rewind opinion videos. I frequently watch YouTube and none of the YouTubers I watch made it in :( (Shane Dawson, h3h3, jenna/julien, and more) It seems as though they were attempting to force a friendly, innocent, Disney-like front of YouTube down everybody's throats. Although it was pleasing to see the inclusion of animators in this rewind, many other YouTube creators who were involved in the most popular videos for the year, were left out. Starting with trends that have been around for years, such as mukbangs, k pop and ASMR, they failed to rewind on the year, 2018, itself.
I can say with confidence that the majority here believe that YouTube gave us a false representation of YouTube for 2018.
