YouTube Rewind 2020 decided not to release
Google has decided to abandon its tradition of releasing a YouTube Rewind video with a quick overview of the most popular videos, summing up the next one coming to the end of the year. This was announced by the YouTube video service team.
Google canceled 10-year New Year tradition because 2020 was “tough”
The final YouTube Rewind videos have been released by the Google team since 2010 in December. Now the following message has been published on the official YouTube page on the Twitter social network:
Since 2010, we have wrapped up Rewind every year, recalling the most influential content creators, interesting videos and trends. Rewind was originally meant to be celebrated, whether you like it or … just remember 2018. However, 2020 turned out to be different. To pretend that it is not so does not seem right to us. So this year we decided to take a break from Rewind. We know that many good things in 2020 were created by you. You looked for ways to cheer people up, help them cope, and make them laugh. You made a difficult year really better. “
As we can see, it is not yet clear whether the YouTube Rewind tradition will be canceled completely or in 2021 we will see such a video again. Users didn’t always like YouTube Rewind. For example, in 2018, the YouTube Rewind video was the most “minus” in the history of YouTube. He scored 9.8 million dislikes with 2 million likes in just a few days. In 2019, the team took into account the mistakes and changed the YouTube Rewind format.
