The YouTube Rewind 2018 left out some of the biggest content creators and overall was kinda
awful.
Welcome to Inform Overload, Im your host Johnny Rogers and if youre new to the channel, we
find the most interesting news stories on the internet and we make them more entertaining
This years YouTube 2018 was 8mins and 13 seconds of virtue signalling.
When the video was posted the comments were locked with an invite-only feature and monitored
so that every single comment was positive.
Creating a safe space for the video and therefore allowing some time for the - omg this is so
amazing - comments to reach the top of the page.
In reality the like ratio for the video was almost even when it was posted which is unheard
of.
Currently as were doing this video the dislikes are at 137,000 with the likes only at 119,000.
We all had high hopes for this years rewind and if we consider the dislikes it looks like
most were disappointed as well with what we got.
The video is a form of revisionist history meaning that its a re-interpretation of their
historical record.
YouTube made the video to show just how great the work the platform and their - select - creators
have done.
They applauded themselves on almost every virtuous category possible.
I guess the old saying - history is written by the victor - holds true.
YouTube is in charge of their rewind and therefore they can manipulate the way in which you feel
about the platform.
Now dont get me wrong, YouTube did do a lot of positive things this year.
Creators promoted the need for a discussion about mental health, people who raised money
in the field of education, creators who actually taught their viewers things they didnt know
previously and the overwhelming support that their communities showed when people needed
it most.
However you cannot ignore the negatives.
What they dont realize is that most people arent going to buy into this message because
of the way in which they presented it.
Considering that PewDiePie is the most subscribed content creator on their platform and he didnt
even get a nod is absolutely insulting.
Plus lets not forget that YouTube also changed their algorithm to pull viewers from smaller
accounts and even went as far as de-monetizing accounts unless they reached a subscriber
base over 1,000 and had videos with 4,000 hours of view time in the past year.
Also the Paul brothers were never included in the rewind, probably because of the controversial
things theyve done with their videos, but if this is a serious rewind of the history
you cant just leave them out.
Im not trying to equate these two, but Ill give you an extreme example.
Imagine if after World War 2 we rewrote the history books and just left out Germany.
It wouldnt make any sense.
We need to recognize the good the bad and the ugly so that we can judge them on our
own merit.
Not through the rose colored lenses of the executives at YouTube.
Also too much fortnite, I get it there are a ton of youtube gamers with massive channels
I mean they even had Ninja literally and metaphorically driving the bus.
Yeah lets applaud Fortnite, the game that appropriate black culture by stealing dance
moves to profit off them.
Are they wearing blinders at YouTube.
Like I mentioned before Pew Die Pie was excluded, H3H3, Ricegum, David Dobrik and the vlog squad,
Keemstar, Alissa Violet, Faze Banks and thats just a few off the top.
Also I cant believe they ate Mukbang without Trisha Paytas.
I mean this list probably goes on forever so hit us up in the comments below with who
you wanted to see but wasnt in the rewind.
Plus let us know your thoughts on this, did you love it, did you hate it, we want to hear
it all.
Now lets move on to some featured comments from the video titled - Nasa Scientist says
aliens do not look the way we think
ToXiC Dxre says - Hey guys love your vids
A pair of eyes says - Because they aren’t real.
I need proof and see it with my eyes.
Guys, don’t believe with your ears, believe with your eyes﻿
K3Y says - Are you guys going to watch YouTube rewind 2018?
Hope it doesn't suck like 2017﻿
athena says - Johnny I have a question!!!

Senan Collins says - Johnny looks like an alien﻿
