It’s where they take every video uploaded to YouTube that year and play all of them backwards.

To this day I still have no idea what it is, and I don’t wanna bother looking it up.

So they invite a select group of artists from the platform who made big gains that year to be a part of something like a YouTube holiday special.
The problem with it is corporate is so out of touch that in 2018 they invited mid-controversy Will Smith and a bunch of K-Pop stars to do the video, almost plays like their target audience is barely pubescent boys and girls. It became less about the community and more about promoting content for monetary purposes.
The YouTube Rewind videos are in the list of the most disliked videos of all time, with the 2018 Rewind being at 20 Million dislikes, surpassing “Baby Shark Dance” at just under 15 Million and “Justin Beiber - Baby” at 12 Million.

That was just about the time they got rid of public downvotes, unsurprisingly
