After Only 5 Days, YouTube Rewind 2018 ‘Win’ The Most Disliked Video Ever In The Site’s 8-Year History

In the contrary with the Rewind 2016 as the most liked video, the Rewind 2018 has actually become a disaster.

From December 2010 to now, YouTube has always released a video called YouTube Rewind at the end of a year to remind its users to the most prominent videos in the last 365 days. Each video in the YouTube Rewind series is a combination among the hottest music, memes, top trends, and creators. However, in the contrary with the Rewind 2016 as the most liked video, the Rewind 2018 has actually become a disaster.

If you’re thinking the Rewind is something kind of worthless, you are wrong! This annual video series has gained the attention from both the supporters and haters. However, what made YouTubers extremely surprised was the massive number of dislikes for the Rewind 2018.

In 2010, the music video “Baby” performed by Justin Bieber gathered the highest number of dislikes in YouTube. And in fact, until now, this MV has still been a champion with about 9.8 million dislikes while the YouTube Rewind 2018 only got 8 million ones. However, as per the release period, it has clearly taken the YouTube Rewind 2018 much less time (only 5 days) to be notorious than “Baby”. Moreover, Bieber’s song also are liked 10 million times while 2 million likes are all things this year’s Rewind has got.

Who should be responsible for these huge dislikes? Of course, not dislikers. Because the YouTube Rewind 2018 is mostly based on the Fortnite game – the hottest trend with a lot of arguments on YouTube 2018 and watchers may want to have more space to enjoy the other trends of the world.

Another reason behind these dislikes may originate from those who love some YouTube stars such as Logan Paul and PewDiePie. These two stars were in relation of offensive actions and statements as well as racial discrimination. That is why YouTube doesn’t want to bring them in its Rewind this year. However, their fans are not obviously satisfied with this decision by YouTube.
