YouTube still pays for and films YouTube Rewind, but some of the top creators (of the year, and of all time) get to chose how it looks for that year. They're basically the directors. There should not be any irrelevant/really small creators. Really unknown creators have no need to be in YouTube Rewind. Only creators that had an impact on the platform should be in it. Let the community suggest who they want in the rewind Make Rewind wholesome again. In recent years, the people working on rewind seem like they try too hard to make everybody like the rewind. There's something wholesome about kid president standing in the woods, finding the rewind button, and saying "2013, let's do this." Also random things like YouTubers playing in a ball pit shaped like the YouTube logo on a boat (see Rewind 2015). Just make rewind more peaceful again. Bring back the rewind button. Rewind's old focus point had been people carrying around and pressing the rewind button. This made rewind seem more wholesome too. In past years rewind has gotten rid of the rewind button, removing the focal point of rewind.

"YouTube Rewind 2018: Everyone Controls Rewind" was uploaded to YouTube on December 6, 2018. It has since gained only 2.4 million likes, compared to 14 million dislikes. It is easily agreed by most people to be the worst YouTube Rewind in history.History of YouTube Rewind...YouTube Rewind used to have been a wholesome video that included a few hundred YouTubers at the end of each year. These videos would include the major parts of the year. A few years ago, YouTube had started becoming more corporate, and it was obvious they cared more about the advertisers than the ideas of the consumers and producers (YouTubers) on the platform. YouTube Rewind 2016 was the last Rewind PewDiePie, the biggest YouTuber on the entire platform, was in. This didn't seem like a huge deal to people in 2017, but it was one of the main factors why 2018 got so much hate.In 2018, PewDiePie was one of the main focuses on YouTube. He gained over 6,000,000 subscribers in one month because of his battle with a Indian channel called T-Series. This channel is a company, not a YouTuber, so if it were to pass PewDiePie, he would still remain as the #1on the platform. There was much support for PewDiePie, like big channels such as MrBeast, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and even Logan Paul supported him. The YouTube community was obviously in favor for PewDiePie, and he wasn't in YouTube Rewind.The fact that YouTube didn't put PewDiePie, and many other major things that happened this year, in YouTube Rewind, shows they're unable to give the community what they want. YouTube also put many things that frankly, nobody cares about in the rewind. They also cut out a lot of YouTubers, with there only being around 100 YouTubers in this year's rewind.PewDiePie uploaded a video on December 27, 2018, titled, "YouTube Rewind 2018 but it's actually good" as a collab with YouTubers Grandayy, Dolan Dark, Flying Kitty, and PartyInBackyard. This video showed what these YouTubers thought should have been in YouTube Rewind, but they did it on a much lower scale because they don't have a budget. The video gained over a million likes in the first 3 hours of it being uplaoded, and only just over 4,000 dislikes. It's obvious the YouTube community favors the thoughts of the top creators.By signing this petition you agree that:Please sign and share this petition.PewDiePie's video: https://youtu.be/By_Cn5ixYLg
