I didn't front page this, and the topic itself is tenuous for a news post, but I will say, not everything needs to be specifically gaming related to hit the front page. T-hug did a news post about Stan Lee passing away, Tom did a topic about YouTube's ad-free membership. While a vast, vast majority of the news is hacking scene/emulation/video game related, it doesn't mean it's limited to those things. It's certain fact that our members use YouTube, and it's important to cover major things about them when relevant.

I guess being disliked on YouTube is relevant? And somehow important. It’s just a weird thing to front page.

It's secretly because they did Fortnite dances in the video.

I'm not speaking about this post, but moreso about topic coverage in general.

on topic: What did this video do to be so "bad"? It's cringey, sure, but isn't every single YouTube Rewind? What specifically makes this the trashiest video to hit YouTube?

I have no clue. People are maybe getting more sick of it as the years go by?

YouTube promotion videos usually gets a lot of dislikes. I remember proud to be got a lot of dislikes. Then people were complaining that YouTube was deleting comments and messing with the like bar.

Proud to be video

From what I remember the proud video was hated for being a huge contradiction to their mindset.
Like youtube automatically flaghing words like gay and trans as inappropriate, or demoneytizing lgbt friendly videos for no reason.

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 remember the dislike bar being lower. Probably lower then YouTube rewind.

The video is stupid, it seems forced and fake both the gay pride one and YouTube rewind. Can they make them less cringy, please. My body tenses up cringe style and I get embarrassed even though I’m not the one doing the embarrassing thing. I’m just watching them.

Chrono Trigger being awesome is a pretty much an agreed upon fact.

A summary of videos I've seen of it:

It's an ad for adventisters. Before it was celebrating the previous year of Youtube, like big happenings, memes and stuff. Now it's just a whole some experience they try to cream down a political statement of cleanliness and safety.

Get annoyed when YouTube tries to paint itself as a safe space for people while also hiding, demonetising and age-restricting content by LGBT creators as recently as six months ago. Why don't you put that on the YouTube Rewind?

Finally.

Who isn’t getting demonitized on YouTube. Seems like everyone complains about being demonitized. LGBT, Conservatives, anti-religious, science creators, gamers.

Putting Fortnite, the mid video message and (ir)relevant content aside, it is way too slow and too much talking.

 

[duwen]

Deny it the view count.
I've never watched a single 'Rewind' vid YT have put out - I use YT every day and I know it's unlikely that anything I watch would be deemed worthy of YT's self-congratulatory bullshit... so, rather than honor it with a view and a dislike, I do the sane thing and just don't watch it.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Haven't watched this until now, but I can kinda see why people hate it. I don't hate it, but I also don't like a single part about it. I feel like I might have outgrown YouTube memes/fads the past few years though. I barely recognize any of the names at the end, and even the channels I do recognize are ones I've barely watched. The first Rewind I did actually recognize a fair few things, the ones I've seen since I barely recognized anything, and this one I recognized literally nothing except TheOdd1sOut and Markiplier.
Schmoyoho did a better job at Rewind than YouTube ever did. I hope they'll keep doing them.
