Скачать или смотреть The Rise and Fall of YouTube Rewind - A Documentary about YouTube Rewinds from 2010 to 2019

One of the biggest annual YouTube end-of-year traditions is the YouTube Rewind--a video that showcases the biggest trends and videos of the year. It began in 2010, but turned into a large scale production in 2012 and established itself as a staple yearly series on the website. As a YouTuber, if there was one big accomplishment besides achieving a certain number of views or subscribers, it was being considered important enough to be featured in a Rewind. The Rewind brought together the biggest YouTubers from all sorts of genres into one ultimate celebration for all to enjoy--a truly beautiful concept. The Rewind videos were about us and what we, as a collective, enjoyed watching.

Unfortunately, the annual Rewind videos began to show an increasing disconnect between the viewers and those in charge of production. While big YouTubers continued to be featured, there were more and more questionable casting choices and it was clear that Rewind was gradually turning more and more into an advertisement to appeal to advertisers instead of a celebration. In 2018, the annual Rewind became the most disliked video on the website. While this year’s Rewind isn’t as disliked yet, there is a real possibility of it actually becoming the new most disliked video with it already being in 3rd.

So what happened? How did Rewind get so big and when did it start to fall? What controversies surrounded each installment? In this video, I get into all that and more!
