YouTube Rewind 2018 becomes most disliked video on YouTube

Beerus · Dec 13, 2018

Rappers and reaction videos are the only thing YouTube had going this year

Delerious · Dec 13, 2018

I mean, it is a pretty bad video. I didn't mind the Fortnite references or Will Smith, but it kinda started to go downhill immediately after they jumped out of the bus.Some people seemed to hate it for the wrong reasons, with the whole "X person wasn't in it" argument. From what I can see, the issues ares that 1) they didn't highlight a lot of the bigger stuff that happened, 2) became a fake, political cringefest halfway through, 3) they tried to include way too many people, so it just became a hot mess of chaos. Also, can they EVER include music that isn't either poppy or synthesized?

At least a good meme came out of it.

Reaction videos are the worst. Esp since Youtube keeps trying to recommend them to me, despite me telling them "not interested". Reaction videos just make me cringe hard.

The "It's rewind time" image has been used a lot over at Reddit, and I saw it every couple hours on a particular subreddit.

You would think so. Somehow, this isn't the case here.

There was no Pewdiepie

3:26 in the video, done by Jaiden Animations
(I can't bring myself to actually watch that far. Comments section found this.)
I'm not even mad about anything in particular. It's just... bad. I'm rather disappointed. I've never really liked the YT rewinds- actually, I don't think I knew about them before last year. But I still expect at least a little better from the company itself.
I think they'll notice that people hated it. Beating out Baby for most dislikes in only 6 days will get it mentioned on at least a few media outlets.
Edit: not to mention the slice of lasagna further right on the shelf pictured above, and the chair she put in the foreground

But TBH it IS that bad

dont worry the new EU 13 article will make sure videos like those will never ever appear

medoli900 · Dec 14, 2018

To those who still don't understand why this rewind is the worst, watch this. You'll notice instantly the difference.

I only use Youtube now for some game guides here and there and to watch Music videos. Even then the recommended section is filled with crap like YouTube click bait dramas and reaction channels to the videos I watch

Ya whenever they get into the political stuff it’s soooooooo fake.

That year wasn’t that bad. Still a little cringe. What happened to Jenna Marbles is she still making YouTube vids? Haven’t seen her stuff in a long while.

Yup. Anyways I just watched that YouTube Rewind video being clueless to why Will Smith being there. The funny thing is that Will Smith is the only person that I’m familiar with and the rest I know through suggestion videos I’ve never clicked like for example Casey Neisat and Ninja

Depending upon what you like it might be worth going looking.

In my case it is one of the best places to get long form history (especially history you are never likely to see elsewhere), science, high concept science, general interest/amusing to know stuff, discussion of game design and game theory, machining, engineering, interesting computery things, old school European martial arts, design/photography/image editing, film making and things being pulled apart to figure out how they work. It has killed TV for me in a big way, and it is usually cut and edited such that I get bored watching TV now. If I had to watch the endless vlogs of someone that never left their country of origin but still has a webcam, fake prank/"social experiment" channels and youths of the day trying to be "random" that a baseline scan would suggest it would be terrible, however I don't.

From what I've heard, it seems to be more cringey than Clinton saying "Pokemon GO to the polls". Tis the reason I've yet to watch it. The whole trending section is 90% of the same ol' thing, and recommendations are atrocious for people who aren't conscious of their history. Doesn't help with the sheer ridiculousness that is Fortnite just randomly popping up even though I don't give a damn about it. Some previous Rewinds were decent, had people that many commoners would know, wasn't entirely cringey. If a video gets the most dislikes, it's become universal that something is wrong. Too bad companies don't really care and in this case, it's just one gigantic advertisement for Google and a f*ck you for anyone who complains about demonitization.

I have yet to see it in all its magnificence but did see a video wherein the "high" points were giggled at... even with the benefit of spacing, bracing and biting commentary I almost cringed myself inside out.

That is some weapons grade nonsense youtube has there.

Not enough Fortnite.
