Here's a good breakdown:
I LOVE Geeks and Gamers...
I recognized Will Smith. Then I was lost.
YouTube is a complicated beast, been around since the pre google days when YouTube was really Wild West and people made content not for monetization, but because they wanted to.
Not that there’s anything wrong with current content, but one thing I will say, is the people in charge of YouTube are so unbelievably out of touch with their community and the bulk of the content creators.
Although I’m not on the whole pewdiepie bandwagon, I actually can’t stand the guy, this YouTube Rewind is about as tone deaf as it gets.

Pewdie Pie is the most annoying mofo on youtube IMHO.
So the guy in the reaction video just does not get it. "YouTube is all about..." and then he spins what he wants YouTube to be. The reality though is quite different. YouTube is all about making Google bucketloads of money. A video with over 10 million page views in a week is a very successful video. Most videos would love that kind of attention.
The part I do not get is why any one cares about this "rewind" video. It did nothing for me, but I saw nothing wrong with it. It is advertising. No big deal. I think I am a fairly typical YouTube user, and I cannot be bothered to care one way or another. This reminds me of MMO guild drama, keenly felt by those involved, and looks pretty stupid to everybody else. As long as Kizuna AI, Arumba, Quill18, Gigguk, Pravus, Aavak and a few others keep putting out videos, I will keep helping google's bottom line. The drama does not change my usage at all.
To me, he’s an irritating little twat.
But he’s by far not the worst YouTuber out there.
The Paul brothers, Dobre brothers, Keemstar, a host of other twats that flex on their young fans, people that start rumours and beef with others just for views, they’re truly scum.
But by far, YouTube is probably my most used platform for entrainment besides gaming, I mean take this youtuber I recently discovered, an expert on castles, taking 15 minutes to explain why Whiteruns defences don’t make sense, hell ill watch stuff like that all day.
All the YouTube twats that exist purely to just be ****ty people and those that follow them, really bring down the entire platform.
