YOUTUBE REWIND 2018 SERIES

YOUTUBE REWIND 2018 SERIES

The series began, as YouTube did, featuring homegrown creators getting together to make a big silly video about the year’s trends. YouTube Rewind 2018 This is the 8th YouTube Rewind, the first being made in 2010. The 2018 YouTube Rewind has not been well received by the site’s users, who have reacted with a blizzard of downvotes, totaling 8.2 million dislikes, compared to 2 million likes. He also explained how this entire Rewind turned into a glorified ad campaign for YouTube to show to its advertisers.Update - 13.Dec: As of today, the 2018 YouTube Rewind has now overtaken 'Baby' to become the most disliked video on YouTube, with 9.8 million downvotes. He mentioned that there was a severe disconnect between what the YouTube community and creators wanted and what YouTube thought everyone wanted. Marques also made a video explaining why the video flopped so hard. Given how much the Rewind 2018 was talked about, YouTubers like Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) and Casey Neistat used this opportunity to give a shout-out to go subscribe to PewDiePie to help in his ongoing battle with T-Series for the most subscribed channel. PewDiePie reviewed the video (who wasn’t included in the video in spite of being the most subscribed YouTubers!) and mentioned how it didn’t include any of the significant events that took place this year, and how it featured the same old personalities without shedding light on most of the up and coming ones. Many prominent YouTubers had things to say about the Rewind 2018. Not to mention the field day the internet community was having as all this unraveled, with thousands of memes flooding Twitter, Reddit and Instagram. The video became the most disliked video on YouTube, with 11 million dislikes (at the time of writing this article) in a week’s time, beating out Justin Bieber’s Baby which had 9.9 million dislikes. Oh, but boy did their plan fail! In fact, it generated so much unprecedented hate that the Rewind 2018 turned into the cringiest and most catastrophic ever.

Many fans expressed disapproval over Rewind 2017 when they couldn’t even identify who most of the YouTubers in the Rewind 2017 were! YouTube listened to them and said they were scaling back from 300 Youtubers to a 100 of them for Rewind 2018. Last year was the first time when YouTube received a reality check in what seemed to be an upward trajectory in terms of the popularity of the Rewind videos. And year by year, it slowly kept getting out of touch with its consumers and its content creators.

But over the past few years, YouTube rewind has transformed into an extravagant event where it spends millions of dollars into making a 6-8 min long video.

And the next year, they made a 2 and 1/2 min video hosted by Rebecca Black. YouTube reqind started off back in 2010 when YouTube put out an 85-second video of the top 10 most watched videos that year. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably aware of the YouTube Rewind 2018 situation.
