YouTube released their annual ‘Rewind’ wrap-up video that featured online personalities PewDiePie, MrBeast, Shane Dawson dominating the lists.
After last year’s Rewind became the most-disliked YouTube video of all time, the platform accordingly changed the format of the video retrospective.
This year, lists of top trending videos, based on data that includes views, subscriptions, likes, social mentions, and more were included in the video rather than the usual high-production musical numbers in the past.
The backlash from the previous Rewind was even addressed, including reactions from such YouTubers as Casey Neistat, RiceGum, and H3H3’s Ethan Klein before presenting this year’s most-liked content.
