An annual video produced by YouTube from 2010 to 2019 that attempted to summarize the year's most significant YouTube moments, trends, and creators. YouTube Rewind 2018 became the most disliked video in YouTube history before YouTube hid public dislike counts, symbolizing a disconnect between YouTube's institutional priorities and creator culture. The series was discontinued after 2019, and its legacy is frequently cited in discussions about platform-creator relationships.
