Who the fuck even are these people (besides PewDiePie)? And why are so many people watching Korean food channels?

Who the fuck even are these people (besides PewDiePie)? And why are so many people watching Korean food channels?

To be fair there are more people on that list who were actually quite notable this year than just PewDiePie. Although honestly I can only see four (Shane Dawson, James Charles, Jeffrey Star, and MrBeast) so YouTube still hasn't learned their lesson.

On another note, does anybody know why the hell everybody is spamming the same stupid comment? I wanted to see some funny comments from people rightfully trashing this rewind, but it's all this shit:
YouTube: "so in 2019 let's see that people like"

Everyone:

"lets copy and past everyone else's comment"

The actual rewind video isn't even the first result when you search (or at least it wasn't for me)

Also I love that super passive aggressive message at the beginning. "In 2018, we made something you didn't like. So in 2019, let's see what you DID like. Because you're better at this than we are."

I'm feeling this year's rewind is on track to rack up as many dislikes as last year's did. It hasn't even been a third of a day and already it's at 1 million dislikes.

The video at the top is what YouTube should have done, which is compiling everything from the start of YouTube and the end. How could they have fucked this one up so badly?

I don't watch a single one of those people and I watch tons of YouTube.

All I know is that Ariana Grande and Daddy Yankee are popular musicians in Latin America, Blackpink is a K-pop act, and MrBeast is a young millionaire who does videos where he donates like $50k to random thots while they're streaming to get their reactions, and streams himself saying a meme line over and over for like 8 hours straight.

I've imagined the point where a big Youtuber becomes a proper celebrity is where they'd still be famous if YouTube shut down tomorrow. Going by that concept, I wouldn't be surprised if every single one of those people could be considered celebrities.

For fuck's sake, Daddy Yankee needs a separate Wikipedia article on the billions of awards he's won:

Besides PewDiePie, I recognised a few musicians (Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X) and a Kardashian (Kylie Jenner), plus the two makeup artists that have threads here (James Charles and Jeffree Star). But I'd also say it's completely unsurprising I don't recognise any of the general YouTube personalities.

As for the Korean food channels - I really, really don't get how certain mundane activities, like opening boxes and eating, are so popular when recorded and put online. And yet they are. People are weird, but at least mukbang is a fun word to say.

Edit: Didn't Daddy Yankee do Despacito? So he's at least had one mega-hit to his name.

People like seeing things they relate to.

In this case...opening up boxes is a human experience we can all relate to.

Yeah, a massive artist that had a number 1 hit. Having him on YouTube Rewind feels like if I went to a talent show in middle school and the winner was Michael Jackson, because he's more talented than random 7th graders from my podunk city.

That sounds like a South Park episode.

I dunno, I like the idea of a smattering of various YouTubers from various subjects getting together and doing a celebratory video. Like who knows, maybe you'll find one who talks about some random subject you never paid much mind to, but the person just clicks with you, so you go watch their channel and learn all about some subject you couldn't have cared less about yesterday. I've had that happen just a couple of times and I really treasure it when I find someone like that, but those happenings are so few and far between due to how recommendations just kind of keep you in your own little bubbles. Those two examples I posted were from word of mouth, because YouTube sure won't show me anything outside of my own little video games sphere. Why, yes, YouTube, I would in fact like to watch Internet Historian's "The Fall of 76" for the twentieth time. It was a great video, but man, it just never leaves my recommendations.

But, celebrities? It's fucking YouTube! They have access to Google's unbelievable wealth of knowledge, knowing exactly who each viewer is and what they like and dislike, you'd think it'd be trivial for them to put together what I suggested.
 
 
I saw that it was like 5 minutes long when I clicked on it, but I still had to pause halfway through to make sure it wasn't actually 15 minutes. Because that was a tedious watch.

Honestly came off as the kind of thing an exec would show to shareholders or potential advertisers.
