To this day I still have no idea what it is, and I don't wanna bother looking it up.
It's where they take every video uploaded to YouTube that year and play all of them backwards.
That's a bit sad
They were kinda little time capsules of various corners of YouTube adjacent internet culture over time
The only good thing YT Rewind was for was finding out what kind of boring bullshit channels normies watch.
That sounds a bit elitist tbh
Yeah all you gotta do is open it in a private browsing window and see the stream of aI nonsense to know what most morons are watching, or at least clicking.

See they're running out of disk space though. Preserving history is so much less important than 58 minute video essays about [insert any banal topic].
Unlisting just means they're not shown in searches, the video is still available, so storage has nothing to do with it
Yeah. I saw that after I wrote my comment.
Babe you've never unlisted your old (cringe) Minecraft tutorials. What a childhood lol
Lol I have actually do have some unlisted videos, I just forgot what that meant until I was reminded
I assumed it's probably due to some creators becoming, or later being discovered as, "problematic" and/or some sort of brand risk. It would look more strange to unlist a few of them, so better to unlist all of them.
To be clear: This is speculation based on zero information 🙃. Just a total guess based on how things tend to go between internet culture and corporations. I'm probably wrong. It would be cool if YouTube would communicate things like this.
It's unfortunate to see such cultural history hidden away. Though, tbh, this is probably the most that I've ever thought about YouTube Rewind, and I haven't thought about it in many years.

never been happier to have only followed the grace, hannah, mamrie, tyler, hank, john, and dan + phil youtuber scene.
I'm sorry mate but they actually put pineapple on pizza
Pen pineapple apple (on) pizza
Why is this even mildly infuriating? Who's that emotionally invested in a corporation and a bunch of influencers patting each other on the back?
Just preserved youtube history and culture.
More like preserved out-of-touch-ness, a reminder that youtube's been terrible for a long long time
They are just unlisted. They are preserved.
It's disgusting that such bigotry towards pizza-pinapplers still exists in today's society.
The Weezer pork and beans video was actually fucking sweet
Add another thing to the Google Graveyard ig.
Is the 2025 one just a flood of nazi propaganda?
No, that was 2016
I'm sorry Will, looks like it's no longer rewind time 😞
Dahhhhh 😣
Why?
Why? They have a monopoly. They do whatever the fuck they want.
But why do they want to do that, is the question
In the past the videos were always shit and people would thus shit on them in the comments/ratings, so it might be to hide how much shittier it's getting. For example if there is so much generated content that it would take up a chunk of the video, or it might even be that they've fired the talent who normally create the rewinds and replaced them with AI, which would be fairly obvious to detect if it was used for this kind of thing because it probably would do a shit job. *If they are not producing them anymore.
I don't know what YouTube Rewinds are, but are these them? I seem to be able to view them.

I think unlisted means they just won’t appear in search/recommended, but can still be viewed if you link directly to them
Oh… maybe done so the new one is the only result? That makes this a hell if a lot less of an issue.
Rewinds haven't been produced in like a decade
Half a decade *
I wanted to be right about rewind being dead to badly I guess.
That's because pewdiepie had to make a real one after the first flop and it ruined their motivation.
The image OP posted explicitly shows that’s not true.
Okay so half decade forgive my memory.
Point stands, there are no new ones.

"Unlisted" means you can't find any of them via search or on the creator's page. But if you still have the URL, you can view them directly
Which includes public playlists other people have created
Looks like they all eventually became mr beast

I've been on YouTube from pretty much the start and have never seen a Rewind. Do only Americans get them?
They were a video published and produced by Youtube themselves, showing the most popular videos on the platform, making jokes, etc. It's the same video for everyone. It's not like the "rewinds" some companies do showing your activity for the year.
Here is 2013( I think this was the best one).
YouTube whats?
Many moons ago, youtube partnered with the biggest content creators on there to make a video capturing what was trending throughout the year
Probably like Spotify wrapped but even dumber.
