The YouTube Rewind 2018 controversy

Film Stuff podcast

This episode is about this year's YouTube Rewind video, the video YouTube produced to recap all the internet trends, memes, and (on YouTube at least) hits from 2018. They've been doing this every year since 2010. The reaction this year has been pretty cold online, but somehow we still have warm fuzzy feelings for YouTube. We explain how. Also Soo Zee touches on the difference between "big" and "big on YouTube," and explains why it might be okay for YouTube to suck at this. If you'd like to sign up to the newsletter we mentioned at the there, you can do it here: http://bit.ly/2bVmOez This is kind of an deep cut, and we recommend you refresh yourself on the Rewind videos before listening. If you don't know who the hell anyone in these videos is that's totally okay! You don't need to get all the references.
