The most real part of YouTube shown in the Rewind is how much of a disconnect they have from the actual users of the platform. The title of "Everyone Controls Rewind" and the statement of "Let's give the people what they want" are fucking laughable. Including Fortnite, the In My Feelings challenge, and Baby Shark made sense; they were all prevelent this past year. But talk show hosts, Ninja (he's a Twitch streamer with uploads from his streams to YouTube, he doesn't count), irrelevant YouTubers, and Will fucking Smith? Absolutely not.

The "Can We Take A Moment" segment is hearfelt and nice, but that should've been its own video if anything. It's not relevent to YouTube. To give an actual answer to Lilly Singh's "You know who really needs to be in this video?", how about PewDiePie? I'd argue no one deserves to be in rewind more than Felix, the most subscribed to person on the platform. He wouldn't have even needed to do anything huge, just open it up saying "Year... in review!" But instead we got Jaiden animating in the spinning chair Pewds meme. Felix, the guy who may as well be YouTube's poster boy, is not in the video, but his chair is, and not even the actual chair, an animated version of it. Oh, but having Will Smith, who I doubt even knows or cares about Fortnite at all, is the guy we see. Okay.

One YouTuber, Lachlan, had to travel halfway around the world to be in Rewind. And he was going to have a whole segment instead of just a cameo. Then Rewind actually happens, and his segment is cut down to him just having a cameo in the back of the Fortnite bus. So not only is YouTube disconnected from its users, but didn't even seem to take into consideration how much trouble someone like Lachlan had to go through to have a segment in it, only for them to just cut it out.

Baby is just a harmless (if annoying) song done by young Bieber. YouTube Rewind 2018 is a shitshow that shows how much YouTube doesn't get its users. The latter most definitely deserves to be the most disliked video on the platform.
