I feel like a modern TH-cam rewind would be more like Spotify wrapped where it’s personalised and like tells you which youtuber you watched the most
They could have easily pivoted to this! I’ve always thought it’s weird they didn’t.
I have youtube music and it does a "2023 recap" that includes music videos. Surely they could expand it to cover what you watched?
Thats an awesome idea
I was just about to comment this
This needs to happen
I do actually miss the rewinds:/ it was really fun, and the hatred of it brought the community together
We made fun of James Charles fans and harassed some of them lol
That's the problem though, since the pandemic, there hasn't really been one collective internet culture. TH-cam isn't a group of people who all like silly fun videos anymore. It's too fragmented and individual now for the classic style of Rewinds..
TH-cam Rewind was leftism the rewind
It's like E3 was to gamers, it brings everyone together through collective hatred.
@@skoop651 what
It's too bad that Rewind stopped.... Would've been interesting how they handled the year of bad apology videos XD
Dude, that would've been so funny 😂 Don't get the actual TH-camrs, but impersonators
I need to see the ukulele rewind skit, TH-cam please
@@faffywhosmilesatdeath5953 *YES!!!*
we all know they wouldn't adress it at all
I don’t want them touching it. Esp with how they blamed Jacksfilms for Sssniperwolf doxxing him. They’d probably say Colleen was justified for grooming children. Not like Sssniperwolf didn’t do similar things to kids, and they forgave her.
I just assume TH-cam Rewind is the reason they removed the dislike button, they were too embarrassed to show how much people hated their own content
Plenty of people used the Dislike button to just bully people. So the video was OK but people just disliked videos because they wanted to be mean.
I hope there would be some sort of system where you could dislike videos that are actually bad, like videos that break TOS, are clickbait, or are stolen videos from other channels. Maybe some sort if tagging system. If enough people who watched the video wrote a same tag to the video it would appear publicly to the video.
@@Pehmokettu I bet you this is far less common than people make it out to be...
@@Luka1180it is. it's pure cope lol
Yes, and also their sponsors didn't like getting downvoted. Especially the politicians.

I admire rebecca black. She was just a girl with a dream, received a lot of hate from most people on the internet but still was able to embrace it in katy perry's tgif, youtube rewind. And after all could follow the dream of becoming a singer. Don't know many of her songs but they are cool and she seems very nice!
highly recommend her album Let Her Burn, she's so talented
@@dawnieedreams Does she do Friday at her modern concerts. That's the only song that matters.
@@xtlm im unsure, sorry you're gonna have to find that out yourself
@@xtlm She does! The newer hyper-pop version that she dropped some time ago
she absolutely did not deserve the hate that she got, she was a literal child making a song about having fun with her friends. people were so disgusting towards her, she talked about getting death threats and people telling her that she should get EDs.. all because of an autotuned and somewhat cringy song. not to mention, her parents and the producer of the song were more at fault than she was, but i guess it's easier and more fun to bully kids.
The hard part about picking a theme for 2023 is that by this point in time, TH-cam's so algorithm driven that it's hard to organically come across things you might like. EDIT: I worded that poorly. What I meant was that your recommendations are so tailored to your own taste that it's rare to come across something unexpected and new that you are also into, so the idea of a "viral" video that spans across different niches doesn't really exist in this decade.
Shorts. It would be all about shorts.
really? I get plenty of content I might like everyday.
I think you should be arguing the opposite point in relation to YT's current-day algorithm; it's very easy to find content suited to your tastes, but it's hard to stumble upon content popular outside of your own bubble. As a result, there are no big "viral" TH-cam moments anymore.
Yes! Thank you for putting it that way. That's what I was trying to say but it came out wrong.@@egel7736

I remember when VeVo was controversial and a lot of people hated it bc it was companies posting music videos instead of fans. I'm so old.
I completely forgot about this omg
Feeling old moment
I also remember VEVO videos always seemed to load ridiculously slower than fan-uploaded music videos, making it extra frustrating
People forget that you had to wait a long time for a video to load before you could just watch it, especially on hand held stuff like ipads. Like longer than the video sometimes. Now its like not a problem cause of 5g networks and whatnot @@A-D-D-F_Toxic

sameee the FNAF part was the reason i watched it so many times
i want a youtube rewind made for my personal tastes that i’m not willing to disclose until the video has been published
That just sounds like spotify rewind
I used to love recognizing a bunch of people it was fun, but it’s become so saturated, it would be even more overwhelming than before
It sort of is a microcosm of TH-cam going from fun and games to corporate business
For me, it was the opposite. I didn't watch a lot of international youtubers, so when they started including german youtubers, I was finally noticing someone in those videos and I was so exited.
@KiraFriede are you from Germany?
Gabbie Hanna discussing social issues in the middle of a rewind feels like a fever dream.
"And I'm so proud of this community."
Of al the things she'll be remembered for in her life. It will be this quote, and for all the wrong reasons.
TH-cam rewind 2020 would've definitely been a zoom call 💀
The celebrities singing Imagine video was TH-cam Rewind 2020 all along!
I know this was probably just a throwaway joke, but I feel like some people’s minds would be blown to know that Pewdiepie and Zoella were actually friends! He was in a lot of her and Alfie’s vlogs back in the day, they did Christmas together one year, they both had pugs and would walk them together around Brighton. They most definitely hung out outside of that TH-cam rewind video.
Or not. Pewdiepie said he was confused why he was with Zoella in the "Why im not in TH-cam Rewind 2017" video. He said it was weird that Zoella was with him instead of Alfie, and why he wasn't with Marzia instead since she also was a youtuber at the time.
i think that's more saying it's strange that they weren't with their partners, who are also youtubers. rather than them not being friends like this comment is saying.
@@linn8370
I think as TH-cam because so diverse and full of multiple communities it becomes harder to have a general rewind that can cover all that was great or viral that year. If it ever got revived maybe making multiple that could cover more. Like have each branch make it more relevant for that country. But tbh kinda glad it is no more.
If they didnt use half the rewind to showcase not youtube stuff it would have been less hard tho lol.
That would work.
Honestly I like the early rewinds a lot. They had no real theme. It was just straight to the point, a simple edit of many of the most popular TH-cam clips put together.
yeah that's like the internet as a whole now, everyone's so divided up into niches
In defense of rewind 2017, the credits featured all of the animation channels that got popular that year was really well done
Even that I do remember the animation channels not exactly being happy the got relegated to the Credits and it was one of the many reasons people gave to hate it.
@@luketfer from how i remember it was bad communication on youtube's end for why animators didn't know they would just be the credits. it was the first time they were included in rewind even though story animation channels had been popular for years before though. most of the reasons youtubers say their experience bts of rewind was bad seems to mainly be bad communication as well.
It is absolutely INSANE how much has changed since 2015 but yet FNAF still dominates the mainstream and the movie has caused a renaissance of popularity for the franchise, as well.
Right!!! I can’t believe it’s almost been 10 years.
FNAF? Movie? 🤔
Oh, Five Nights At Freddys! 😅

The absolute best singular TH-cam Rewind moment was Jaiden Animations sneaking in the Pewdiepie chair in her clip after TH-cam wanted nothing to do with him, lol.
I’ll *never* understand how she’s friends with him. It makes me incredibly wary and I’m honestly just so sure she’s gonna be milkshake ducked
@@DeathnoteBB Why? Has he done something? /gen
Is she friends with him? I thought it was just her trolling the company
@@DeathnoteBB Why are you wary jaiden being freinds with pewdiepie? do you dislike pewdiepie or something?
@@DeathnoteBB found the journo
the theme would most definitely be barbenheimer related, following the trend of them doing memes that were popular even outside of youtube
& mostly tiktok references videos. TH-cam is pretty tame now that it’s mostly just commentary channels and everyone grew up
i ADORED 2015's rewind when it came out and i rewatched it a ton hahaha
Me too, I was a huge fan of jennxpenn(Jenn McAllister) at the time & she was in the cage scene. I think that was the first & only time she was in a rewind lol
14 and 15 were the best ones Imo
I recall that a number of youtubers started declining being in rewind because the process of recording them was just a mess - so viewers would complain that youtube didn't think to include certain people when the youtubers in reality just didn't want to be a part of it anymore
Which TH-camrs are you referring to? Also sometime TH-camrs would get asked to be in rewind but would have to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts
Personally 2012-14 was the best of rewind we got. Afterwards it just slowly turned into “throw everything that happened this year into rewind” and it ended up losing its heart. On top of that, they tried too hard to put anyone with a milestone in there to the point where most of the cast wasn’t recognisable. The focus on celebrities / talk show hosts did also ruin the fun a lot…
Evil Rewind 2023 is just late night talk show hosts recreating the most heinous hate crimes of the year set to the Barbie soundtrack.
Moral of the story, it wasn't the rewind that was the problem, it was youtube.
"Notible people in 2012 rewind..." proceeds not to mention Jenna Marbles
I am really loving this format of ranking stuff for 20-40 minutes, please keep doing more!
🙏
my favorite was 2015. but “haha… that’s hot” stays in my vocabulary to this day lol. the mood dictates whether i’m quoting paris hilton or will smith 😂
Hearing Benedict talk about Friday by Rebecca Black was a gut-punch of nostalgia. Not for the Friday video itself, but for all of the analysis videos of the Ark Music Factory that Benedict used to do on Cup of Team. I would rewatch those all the time.
Cup of Team? Not heard that name in years 🚬
i was literally typing out this exact comment OMGGG i used to rewatch those analyses all the time too!!!!
The double rainbow guy died a few years ago so I think the 2010 rewind can be excused completely.
Sue me, I still like that video anyway (and the song remix!)
HE DIED?!
Ughhhh..... that hurts my heart
I miss Rewind a lot, but I understand why it couldn’t continue, TH-cam just became too widespread and the large communities and people that dominated it became less impactful as a result. Though I do think if TH-cam really wanted to continue it they would’ve found a way, but everyone began hating on Rewind and there was no reason to fight to continue it
honestly just shocked you seperated dan and phil in the background, thats a package deal there
I actually think the main reason rewind ended (second to all the complaining, I mean) is that youtube is just too big. There used to be only a handful of people with millions of followers so most people knew them and they knew each other. Now there are hundreds if not thousands of people who have over a million subscribers on here. Everyone is so spread out, youtube isn't a community anymore.
Completely agree! I miss that OG community!
I love to scroll deeply with Scroll Deep
this years rewind would definitely include barbie and taylor swift if they were gonna do one
Ofc there’s photos of legendary scroll deep characters Dan and Phil in the backdrop
I've been re reading the hunger games series as an adult and i really appreciated the 2012 hunger games references because it really was the vibe at the time. Awesome video, instant subscribe
"the double rainbow guy" was absolutely a youtuber. He was such a youtuber that he set up his channel to keep uploading with old unused vlog clips for years after his death.
Honestly, I really want to like youtube rewinds because I love easter eggs and references. The focus on gamers were also great, but the way that sometimes they can bring a few trends without being annoying like "The dress" scene in 2015 where they were in a rap battle, I dont remember much but I like to think of it as another ERB reference, about the dress. But James Cordon is unforgivable
2014 was my personal favorite. I liked 2015s as well. After those it just went downhill
those are the only two in my head tbh
2013-2015 was my favorite
This video just made me realize how much progressively worse life has gotten since the innocence (and, at times, ignorance) of 2011, 2012 and 2013. 🥴 Back then I could sit down and watch a dumb orange scream about things, now so much of what’s recommended to me is just rage bait no matter how many times I select “don’t recommend this to me” 😩
This!
I mean you can say that, but I remember browsing youtube back then and accidentally clicking on a beheading video. And we had people like Shane Dawson doing questionable and predatory stuff on camera and to their fans all the time and then those same fans replicating that stuff in theri schools and homes. I guess the trade for having people become more aware of these dangerous and bigoted things is that there's also people using the exhausted and polarized people browsing youtube to get clicks from rage bait and uh worse things.
2016 was the year, to me, things truly fell apart.
I feel like the world ended in 2016 and we've just been living in a weird purgatory state ever since
I miss the older rewinds so much. It was so fun seeing your favorite content creators coming together to make a fun compilation of what happened that year.
I just wanted to stop in because of the thumbnail to say, Jenna was the best thing on the site and it's a shame she's gone but I can't blame her. She got out before everything hit the fan and it's amazing to see the timing.
Do love that it went for the whole 2010s decade and only then
7:47 Pretty sure pewdiepie and zoella were friends back in the day. They posted videos together. Zoella and Marzia (his gf) were close.
As someone who's never seen a TH-cam rewind and who only learnt about the existence of them several years after they stopped making them, I see this as an absolute win.
Did anyone really love 2013's Rewind? It's so much fun
I loved 2012 to 2015. The rest ranged from meh to whatever 2018 and 2019 were
My best guess as to why so many people think there was at least one more rewind after 2019 is because the slideshow they did for 2019 fells like something they'd quickly pull together during COVID
I loved TH-cam rewind 2012 - 2014 as a kid because i enjoyed seeing a lot of youtubers i watched in the video. Those rewinds were more about youtubers, popular memes and what things were popular during that specific year. I feel like 2015 - 2018's rewinds just tried to cram too many things in at once. It got harder to spot your favourite youtubers and things like talk show hosts and people that got popular on other social media platforms had a bigger appearance
Evil themed 2023 rewind: Ukulele Apology Video where they try to make it look like they're not making fun of them
All Aboard the Toxic Rewind Train!
2012 was the rewind I personally loved. There wasn't a whole lot of youtubers out yet and the most popular ones, everyone knew. Plus, they were on top of the trends in that video
No, I would not like to see Rewind come back over the simple fact people have too many opinions. I think we could all agree that back in 2015 was the last year that the majority of people had the same opinion or respected others opinions. Now... no
Well people are not one and the same, get used to it
2014 and 2015 are the best. Seeing everyone you know was the joy of it. Especially seeing someone for the first time. I remember seeing Ethan Nestor in it and smiled bc I didn’t think he’d be in it even though I knew Markiplier was going to be in it
As a German, I loved seeing a few German youtubers on 2014+ rewinds. Even tho the shown ones never were my favorites and I didn't watch most of them, I still was really happy about the representation because we had a really strong youtube community here in Germany with a few bigger fan events
Also the one marrying bongo cat is Dagi Bee, a German beauty youtuber. She got married in that year, so that's why they did that to bongo cat
The beautiful thing about Rewind was that every new one made the previous ones better
They can't do rewinds anymore. Trends on TH-cam used to be fun songs and goofy challenges. Now it's just controversies.
7:25 PLEASE
I saw Markiplier and went “Mark😄” and then Benedict mocked me😭
Right, I felt like I was astral-y punched when he said "Markimoo"
(10:45) Of all solar eclipses that happen every year, that one only mattered because it happened in USA. Even non-US TH-camrs, who's had eclipses where they've been before, didn't care until it happened in USA.
I'm rooting for a 2023 youtube rewind that's just all the massive amount of youtuber controversies from this year. Because boy
it's a lot!
Anyone else take a massive hit of psychic damage seeing people talking about how as a kid they loved the 2015 rewind? I'm too old for this.
Also honestly I only recognized a total of like 10 people in all of the rewind videos, not including the people who aren't really youtubers (Will Smith??)
I don't know if would be the theme itself, but defintely a BIG part of this years Rewind would be Barbienheimer (or however it's written)
I'd say the biggest issue was TH-cam bringing in massive celebrities and talk show hosts and twitch streamers..and the whole one where they said they took comments and turned it i think was bad because who did they ask? Where's the evidence of that happening?
TH-cam 2023 should be a list of every cancelled TH-camr and what they've done with "Sticking Out Your Gyatt For The Rizzler" playing in the background
i remember being in middle school in 2012/13 and for year end class we watched all the yt rewinds
my favorite youtube rewind is the one with jacksfilms riverdancing for .05 seconds
as an irish dancer and a jacksfilms fan I can only agree
So 2016
I would call 2011-2013 "my youtube era". I miss it
this would've banged as a live stream
There is a website where you can see your own personal TH-cam “wrapped,” but if we’re not gonna be getting any more TH-cam Rewinds I would LOVE for an official TH-cam recap of videos/creators I’ve watched over the year.
The one for music is pretty meh, especially since I hardly ever listen to music on YT to begin with.
what's the website called?
Definitely think the theme of 2023 would lean heavily to those 4 - 10 hour long videos about one specific topic.
I don't know if this is just nostalgia bias since these were my favorite years of youtube, but I love the 2013-2016 youtube rewinds
I think the rewind arc was closed pretty well, started the same way that ended (pretty bad what do we expected)
Now the rewind king is the brazilian youtuber Lucas Inutilismo he does the top song of the year in one song playing all the instruments
Spotify this year had your top artists send you a personal video message and I thought YT could 100% do something like that. Let all the big names turn in a short video and an algorithm mushes them together for s personal rewind.
If Benedict isn't in the rewind then simply I don't want it
It would be so cool if with all the talk about algorithms and AI editing. It would be pretty cool if it took our most rewatched, and highest view counts, and whatever TH-camr you’ve watched them most. They have these videos monitored for what was rewatched the most. And they can even highlight the short-form content that you’ve watched all the way through on repeat. That’s just a cool idea for anybody to get rejected so I don’t gotta feel the sting though
I feel like 2023 rewind would probably be reaction content themed or something... probably best they don't do rewinds anymore 😅
love how miranda is just peekin over the shoulder at 5:11, made me laugh a bit too much
I forgot about Jenna Marbles. That poor, poor woman. I don't even remember why she was cancelled but I know it was dumb.
I hope she's doing well now.
Shes married now! She and Julien fosters greyhounds and everything. They still have Marbles, Kermit and Peach ofc. She has a basketball game tomorrow as well
She did blackface
now i want youtube rewind to come back
"Wario to the TH-cam Rewind." May as well go all the way, flip the letter, and call it a TH-cam Re-Mind to remind everyone how horrible they were that year lol
Oh no the mizzy reference at the end that was one of our trains and I’ll never forget the headache that caused at work 😂😂😂
Happy scroll deep day!
2012 and 2013’s rewinds are straight fire and I regularly rewatch them.
Bethany Mota being in the blurred lines parody section of 2013’s rewind made me silent scream
honestly subscribed bc when markiploer appeared i went MARK! and then immediately got roasted by u and it made me lol
13:15 The person getting married to Bongo Cat is german youtuber Dagi Bee btw, if I recognize her correctly. It was crazy to me how much screentime she had
Why did they even choose her? She wasn't even the most subscribed German TH-camr at that time and no one knows her outside of Germany. Kurzgesagt would have been a much better choice…
@@red-firefox They didn't just wanna cater to the english speaking TH-cam Community, so it makes sense. And besides, it's not about most subs, it's about who had a lot of relevancy that year and I guess Dagi Bee did apparently 🤷🏻♂️ there were also some other german TH-camrs like LeFloid in there the same as there were asian, spanish, mexican youtubers, etc. who I obviously don't know at all.
Kurzgesagt, doesn't seem like a channel fitting for it, as you don't see the actual person behind it. Maybe they could've made it as if he is explaining something for a few seconds or whatever as a little cameo but I dunno.
@@Connor_Baldczus I guess you're right, but a short animation segment from Kurzgesagt would have been awesome!
"he's back! in pog form!" is one of my favorite simpson's quotes and it brings me great joy to see it here
The worst part is, if you asked me right before I watched this what I could remember of ANY Rewinds, I would ONLY have been able to recall the horrible 2018 one. So I'm glad to be reminded of the gangnam style and ice bucket years.
They should do something where they take clips from what you've watched throughout the year like they do on my Facebook for the anniversary of posting something could be an automatic for each person account post for what they've watched like random videos from their watched list or they posted if they post they do something similar from or you can make it. It's an option at least on TikTok.
I honestly didn't remember there being a rewind 2019, maybe because it was so underwhelming. I genuinely thought they did end it after the 2018 disaster.
for a min youtube realllly became big on drama and i think that makes it harder to do a corporate approved rewind haha
the theme for 2023 would probably be a big taylor swift concert or something
Well... this made me feel old
Maybe unpopular but 2012 was my favourite TH-cam rewind. I remember waiting for it and being so excited to see a bunch of my favourites its one place
I had never watched the last rewind and I just NOW noticed there's Squeezie.
But for the record, my favorite rewind was probably... Any with dan and Phil. I think the first where they appear. Or the second.
this is the first time i've seen any youtube rewind lol, i'd been vaguely aware of the concept but never watched them. a nice sum-up.
Rewinds definitely showed off the community aspect. And as the years went on they mirrored the commercialization of TH-cam.
The shooting stars bit is PERFECT. Its what TH-cam is. They made a reference to a meme of the year but it was self aware
oh man 2013 rewind is seared into my brain i was obsessed with it at the time
Gosh this brought me back to middle school through high school🥲
The theme for this year would obviously be Skibbidi Toilet. It would be Rhett, Link and a bunch of talk show hosts heads popping out of toilets, singing the song.
TH-cam works so well because of the niche interests of people. Trying to please an audience that has so many different tastes is just not going to go well. 🤷♀️
if youtube even tried to do a rewind of this year what would it even be?? like i can't even remember this year at all lol. the official youtube account just reuploads colleene's ukulele song and title it rewind
You tube rewind 2023 would have someone playing subway surfers poorly in the corner and then a bunch of niche stuff you only recognize like 5% of
i feel like they would try to do like a barbenheimer youtube rewind for 2023
