It’s a must watch as he talks about various topics in his own style, and oh, did we tell the Rewind 2018 video has a reference to PewDiePie’s chair? All this and more here.

Original story follows:

YouTube dropped this year’s Rewind video around 12 hours ago, and as is the case with these yearly videos, it has become one of the biggest news of the day. If you haven’t seen it already, take a look:

While there’s no doubt the production scale of the video is grand and quality is pretty slick, the general reaction of viewers, sadly, has been on the negative side. If you take a look at the number of likes and dislikes on the official video, you’ll see there’s a significant difference with thumbs down being far higher in number than thumbs up.

And if you take a look at reactions on social media platforms like Twitter, you’ll know most people aren’t happy as they say many other impact creating YouTubers are missing from Rewind 2018.
