YouTube is permanently cancelling \u2018YouTube Rewind\u2019 creator showcase after ten years YouTubeYouTube has revealed that it is permanently canceling its once-beloved \u2018YouTube Rewind\u2019 year-end videos after a decade of celebrating creators and viral moments on the platform. YouTube Rewind was once an activity that everyone who frequented the video-sharing website looked forward to. Generally, these Rewind videos celebrated the platform\u2019s biggest moments and most popular creators at the end of every year. However, in 2018, YouTube\u2019s highly-anticipated Rewind video was met with heavy backlash.a Fans felt as though major moments from the year were left out due to controversy and that the site favored Hollywood celebrities. It even became one of the most-disliked videos on the platform. In 2020, YouTube announced that it would not be publishing a Rewind due to ongoing global health issues, prompting MrBeast to create his own version of the annual event. It even sparked the creation of an independent musical that was met with mixed reviews. YouTube reveals why it\u2019s canceling YouTube Rewind On what would be the 10th anniversary of the Rewind tradition, YouTube revealed to TubeFilter that they are officially shelving the project after back-to-back years of criticism. However, it\u2019s not the backlash that has prompted the company to make this decision; instead, they claim that YouTube has become \u201cso massive that it is impossible to encapsulate its vastness and diversity within a minutes-long compilation.\u201d \u201cSince Rewind started in 2011, we have seen creators from MrBeast [54 million views], elrubiusOMG, and Slayy Point, to so many more, create their own end-of-year videos, uniquely capturing the year from each of their perspectives,\u201d a YouTube spokesperson said of the situation. \u201cIt\u2019ll continue to be inspiring to see the myriad of ways the most creative content producers in the world \u2014 our YouTube creators \u2014 encapsulate the end of year in their video recaps, as YouTube retires its own Rewind video.\u201d For now, it looks like it\u2019s in the hands of content creators to come up with their own Rewind videos. It would certainly be a rewarding experience to see some of YouTube\u2019s bigger creators come together to make a project on par with previous Rewinds \u2014 but for now, there\u2019s no telling what influencers will cook up at the year\u2019s end, if anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
