You just know the people spearheading this rewind 'critique' bs are just the fucking biggest snowflakes ever

Re: relevance. Is one of the more important platforms in this computer game and all the other stuff we do around here slowly losing the plot not of relevance? It is not ideal but you can... I guess it would be tentpole a discussion.

Wow... what a manicured, perfectly diverse, multicultural, multigender, multiwhatever world these people live in... and they all speak their canned lines as if they were dictating to a class full of 5 year olds. ALTHOUGH, I guess no old people allowed in the video, huh? I am CALLING YOU OUT, Youtube! THIS IS DISGUSTING! That is age discrimination, better known as... chrono-something? I am sure there is a SJW term for it.

I thought the Dutch government ruled it can't be a thing a few weeks back?

I believe that this low rating is not because of how bad this video is, (tho it's still awful and does not showcase actual face of YT) but because more and more people became aware of agenda pushed by mainstream media and big social platforms. You know, the fact that PewDiePie still is big youtube star despite being in opposition to what all these platforms are pushing is because of that - people simply agree with him and don't believe in bullshit.

It's just another sign of changes in our culture and from this perspective it's kind of important also for gaming communities.

Well, he once said N**ger on the stream and people made a way too big fuss over it. And lately he supported one little anime youtuber that in one video compared stuff from Steven Universe to Nazi speech and apparently this means that he's antisemitic and thus PewDiePie is hating in some way jews too ???

But the bigger part is that Felix is simply against left-sided agenda, there's alot of compilations on YT where he throws the so-called "redpills" and explains to viewers what's wrong with this mess, which is very dangerous for most social platforms, considering that they are supporting left-winged politics and he's anti-left (not right, not far-right, just not left) person that is the biggest youtuber right now.

I don't hate this video either but there are a lot of reasons why others do. Some might just be nitpicking but hey, keep in mind I'm trying to view this from a hater's prespective, not mine:

Considering that Rewind has always been a celebration of small and big YouTubers alike, opening (and closing) the video with someone who's not a YouTuber isn't really a good decision to begin with. Even worse if that person an actor with huge tie-ins to Hollywood and YouTube in itself was started as an alternative to TV and traditional media: you could argue it got "corporatized" more and more with each passing year but a lot of content new & old viewers and content creators still consider it such.
Bad acting. It's awful, you don't have to be a hater to see this.
It wants to be ethnically inclusive but fails at doing so. Don't get me wrong, being inclusive is a good thing when done right and, well... how this Rewind does it is not. I get that there's a huge cast so everyone gets half a second of screen time, but at least try to show what some of the people you portrait are known for. If you don't not only you go against the whole purpose of the video but it also feels you've just picked some random people around the world for the sake of it. If you take a look at the other Rewinds you'll see they've done it much better in the past. Which brings me to the next point...
Not many of the shown Youtubers are recognizable. I mean, I get it - as @FAST6191 "it means you are old", but if you scroll down in the comments you see it's not just old people. Look at the list of who's featured: some are famous and all like Markiplier but a lot of them are just famous in their home country but basically unknown everywhere else (for example, they put FavijTV which is huge in Italy, but I dare to find anyone who knows him elsewhere). Couple it with the previous point and, well... you've got yourself a recipe for failure.
A lot of talking. Take a bit of time to scroll through and take a look at how much talking there is. That's not good for something that's supposed to show, not tell what popular stuff those people made during the year.
Not a whole lot of variety. It's a mix of the previous point with some extra Fortnite. And for extra I mean a truckload. While every other Rewind doesn't have a set theme, instead it varies based on what the various showcased content and trends, here it's Fortnite in the beginning, end and most of the video aswell. I get it, it's a popular game and a lot of people are happy to see it, but it kinda gives the whole thing a dull and repetitive appearence.

So again, I still stand with what I said: it's not the worst video on YouTube by a long shot, but it isn't good either. The past Rewinds at least tried.

Zonark · Dec 13, 2018

I so hope this is true.

supergamer368 · Dec 13, 2018

well boys, we did it

leon315 · Dec 13, 2018

Justin Bieber "Baby" is the most disliked video ever!
Google Rewind 2018: Hold my beer!

Patxinco · Dec 13, 2018

The only thing i've liked of the video is Primitive Technology guy at the very end.
Feels great this channel had some seconds, too bad nobody is gonna see him just because he's at the very end...

At the end of the day, its all about money. Youtube/google doesnt care about number of dislikes.

People complaining about it and making videos on their own platform(youtube) and getting a lot of views, hence generating more revenue for google/youtube is advantageous for them.
From a business point of view, why would they give a damn? They are probably making more money than ever before through ad revenues.

"But muh brand image! All those good YouTubers use swears!" Screw your and your advertisers' brand images. People don't like sanitized and saccharine content. That's for kids shows.

It's trying too hard to be trendy and topical. Being trendy in itself is already garbage, trying hard to get that way is even worse.

More like Fortnite & some animators rewind

RustInPeace · Dec 13, 2018

At least a good meme came out of it.

Kigiru · Dec 13, 2018

Jesus Christ i just realized how age hits Will Smith badly. He definitively gets some kilograms and his eyes are speaking a horrible story about lack of good sleep.
For him definitively it's rewind time, he saw better days.
