Top 10 Worst Things About YouTube Rewind 2018
The YouTube Rewind is a tradition that started in 2010 as a celebration of the platform's creators, trends, and viral moments. The goal was simple: to encapsulate a year's worth of digital culture into a single, digestible video. However, over the years, the balance between what viewers wanted and what YouTube presented began to falter. The pendulum reached its peak swing in 2018, resulting in a rewind that drew more flak than festivities.What was it that left viewers all over the globe scratching their heads, clicking on the dislike button, and typing out their grievances in the comments section? Was it the overload of celebrity cameos? The apparent disregard for the platform's actual top creators? Or perhaps it was the forced and cringe-worthy attempts at capturing trending memes and events?
Rewind 2018 is now officially the most disliked video on YouTube, and it only needs 50,000 more dislikes to reach 10 million.
I have a feeling that YouTube is promoting T-Series on purpose.
YouTube is what it is because of how popular Pewdiepie has become.
Why did they have to center this overrated game front and center in the rewind? They should reference Overwatch or Super Smash Bros Ultimate in the next rewind.
This will probably have a movie made by Disney instead of Five Nights at Freddy's: The Movie. Make that and not Fortnite: The Movie.
I would've done better if they could've just left it out of there. But it was so popular this year, I have no words. The end!
How are these guys even popular? They've barely got personality, and you can't really distinguish their singing.
It would be okay if K-pop videos got more views than usual and it impacted YouTube, or it was called "Music Rewind 2018."
K-Pop seriously needs to go away. Fast.
Although I like some K-pop, what does it have to do with YouTube? YouTube just added it to be "trendy."
Lil Meerkat would have still been better than Will Smith. At least he is actually on YouTube.
Let's just say it seemed to be rushed.
Most annoying kids' song ever! Even "It's a Small World" is more tolerable than this song!
They added a kids' sing-along song in this rewind, and that is just sad.
Why did you drag poor Bongo Cat into this, YouTube?
"Guys, we just got Will Smith, this is huge, what should we make him do?"
"Uh, make him say Fortnite."
Yaaah, it's Rewind time! You know, if I could control Rewind, I would want Fortnite and Mark-ass Brownlee.
Wait... they referenced the World Cup in it?
Guys, please note I am a human and this is triggering for me. He wasn't on YouTube this year. He's a great singer and has done many nice humanitarian and charitable causes.
Why did YouTube allow this person on Rewind? She ruined it.
This guy is so obnoxious! Trevor Noah is really bad too.
