James' words at the end were true, KZbin became a corporate business like Hollywood and would only promote what would give profit, rather than promoting creativity like it originally did when it was still a community of ideas. Also, James IRL is rocking the mustache+stubble. Even his animations and humour are so comforting to watch.

[@bxyw]

The community use to be much smaller, making it easier to capture everyone. Now there are just too many people over 1mil subs, half of which most people probably haven't heard of. It was inevitable that they would eventually have to end it.

[@ClaustroPasta]

and most of them who have the largest sub makes the trashiest low effort content for minors (and child brained adults) on youtube so its not even about whether or not it'll be cringe but a matter of how far

[@colmillodt]

In the spanish community, we have never been really acknowledge by KZbin, since it almost only cared about English creators, but ever since the 2018 rewind came out, an incredible spanish KZbinr called Alec Molon made his own rewind full of KZbin Spanish community things with very little budget, but ever since spanish community noticed this, he made one evey year with a lot of donations as budget and due to he's a normal KZbinr and not a KZbin official worker, he has a lot of freedom to work as he put memes and references everywhere and the effects amd visuals are just incredible. Even if you don't understand Spanish i recommend you to watch some of his rewinds, he included a lot of world popular things like Among us in 2020 or the attack to the area 51, it'll be worth it.

[@somerandomyoutuber3509]

I feel like we should get rewinds, but they should be community made. Like, every year each subdivision of the platform, like gaming, animation, food, challenges, etc, they should get together to make a rewind for the previous year. That way we can sort of get quality control, while still having the rewinds representing the community.

[@panda_dragon_studios8635]

RIGHT like as I was watching this thats exactly what i was thinking! Its not like youtubers dont have money for it either! plus, knowing that they were all working together and there was genuine teamwork into making a video like that would make it all the more exciting yk?

[@owenleal]

No one is stopping anyone from making their own rewinds if they want to. There are two reasons why rewinds stopped and probably wouldnt work as well if they got brought back. 1) all of you man critically panned the Rewinds in the first place which is why they stopped happening. Now youtube got rid of them, youre mad that they stopped. 2) internet culture has stopped being as ubiquitous as it was in 2017. In that era, there were memes and landmark events that had everyone's attention online. Nowadays, the only things that keep everyone's attention are actual world events or news about which creator has been exposed as a r*pist/p*dophile/s*xual harrasser etc. There is nothing that is both benign enough and noteworthy enough to even put in a Rewind.

[@wittykitty8151]

James I completely agree with you. I also really miss KZbin rewinds, because it did bring the entire platform together and was something you could talk about with Everyone! It also made it feel like KZbin still cared about its creators even if it wasn’t a lot, rewind was something they didn’t have to do and they did it anyways. So no matter how bad it is/was, I do miss the community feeling behind it. 💗 But I also agree that if it’s just going to be more “Top 10” video edits, I’d rather have it stay this way. I want the original rewind format back!

I completely agree. Good or bad, the KZbin Rewinds were a time where everyone came together as a community to watch their favorite KZbinrs in one massive collab, and it was just the best feeling when you would ask someone "Hey, did you watch the latest KZbin rewind?" and obviously they would respond with yes, and then you'd talk about all the things you saw and which KZbinrs you knew from it and which parts you liked or didn't like. I miss them too.

I consume KZbin Videos like a lot! But I've never seen a complete Rewind, maybe I did watch a few minutes of the one with colbert, but I genuinely don't care about them or most people in them(I assume), so why bother, but happy that people enjoyed them. And then even I got exposed to the debates and reactions of KZbin Rewinds especially the last one. Really can't under-estimate the impact of those, essentially corporate propaganda PSAs, and the peoples reaction to it, for many I was probably one of the few ways they could actually express thier dissatisfaction with the path KZbin is/has taken. But as we see actual Feedback(Good AND Bad) is not something KZbin wants 👎

I feel like James' point of everyone watching Rewinds together echoes a Film Theory from a few months ago ("How KZbin BROKE Your Brain") Where MatPat talks about how the landscape of social media has divided and diluted pop culture. Its a very interesting meta analysis that I think goes on the list of Must Watch theory videos

[@SoraFan23]

Yeah in hindsight he was talking about when KZbin screwed up Rewind 2018. I still remember that dreadful day and it just made creators question themselves a lot. Which may explain why Modern KZbin hasn't really captured the same charm as it once did. Nowadays it just feels like creators are trying way too hard to be funny or trying to cause drama just to get more attention.

[@jacobhogan3208]

I think I mainly just miss the comprehensive yearly trend/meme/music recap. As you get older you sort of forget what was going on at the start of a year, lose track of trends, and sometimes even what happened in what year. KZbin rewind did a lot for that.

I think for 2018 Rewind maybe KZbin just wanted to show itself as a family-friendly platform so they skipped over the drama and the controversy but that makes KZbin well... KZbin so Rewind 2018 was less of a fun video and more like a PG-rated trailer for KZbin as a service

KZbin Rewind Indonesia is the closest thing we have to the official KZbin rewinds from 2012-2016. I’d say their rewind for 2020 gave me actual nostalgia even tho I hated 2020 while it happened

[@Lycaon1765]

The animators should do their own rewind. Animate small segments of what happened that year. Each person picks a subject and just rolls with it. Honestly would to see anything yall work on as a group. ❤

Yeah! And they could start on one of the bigger channels to get community to notice, and then each year put it on different of the smaller channels to get them exposure too. Do it!

"I think thats what I missed the most, when KZbin felt more like a community" That hit me hard, like a semi truck, I miss those days, they may call those days cringe, but I call those days memories, an app filled with fun and excitement! I miss you old KZbin…

In the hispanic community we have been making our own rewinds since 2018, they are made by the community of yutubers itself, and despite the 2023 rewind being a little bit underwhelming, they usualy have a bigger quality and are more in touch with the public.

I will never be use to seeing James’s face. Also thanks James for being a very important part of my teenage years I started watching you when I was 10 and now I’m 19.

Hi James, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I love your videos. Your content never fails to brighten my day and lift my spirits. Whether I’m looking for a laugh, some inspiration, or just a moment of relaxation, your videos always deliver. Your creativity, humor, and authenticity shine through in everything you do, and it’s truly inspiring to see someone so passionate about their craft. Your dedication to creating quality content is evident, and it’s clear that you put a lot of love and effort into each and every video. Thank you for being such a positive presence on KZbin and for always putting a smile on my face. Your videos have become a cherished part of my routine, and I look forward to watching them for years to come. Keep up the amazing work! You’re doing an incredible job, and your hard work does not go unnoticed.

It truly is a humorous piece of irony that animators worked hard to get on board with the KZbin rewind and the audience's take was to rip it to shreds it is funny looking at the animator's take on the audience's take to it

[@bensoncheung2801]

Anyone not familiar and didn’t know better would have thought that they would’ve been paid *well* for that animation (💰, swanky high-rise glass hotel rooms, sizable authority over the final video is *obviously* a given, and fancy outings like yacht parties and golf, with catering all throughout (fancy food with fancy waters and alcohols provided), with party prizes like iPads and laptops, with a small solid golden play button at the end as a gift, like they were *IN* with the KZbin Executives), which I’m *certain* encapsulates a lot of people, and way more than you’d think. (Cause I feel a DEEP urge to believe that too, even though I know that’s not the case) I mean, he was working with KZbin, one of the largest video and entertainment companies in the world! *OF COURSE HE GETS ALL THAT!!!* (I don’t remember where I got this concept of “naiveness” from, but yeah, another version of me would STRONGLY believe exactly this if they didn’t know better) Yeah, I’m gonna make this a stand-alone comment, and if TheOdd1sOut sees it, I’m sure that he’d react well to it.

I always watched right to the end and loved the surprise of the animators near the end. It was my Christmas. Reminiscing the year of YT gone by. They should Bring YT Rewind Back. Let creators create with loose guidelines or provide multiple scripts that the creators can choose from. Agree a payment for everyone involved. Don't mention anything unsafe. Remember to plan for the animators inclusions. Would be perfection.

[@uselessSam]

man i agree with you. youtube, or just the internet in general, stopped feeling like a one, big community after 2019. sure, there has always been hate and negativity, but i feel like that has kind of skyrocketed in the 2020s. everyones doing their own thing and it just.... doesnt feel the same. ugh im getting emotional. i miss the old internet, dude.

I remember people complaining after 2017's rewind, especially the UK KZbin community bc those slime fights took a whole day to film in the freezing cold, everyone got stained by the slime and so many KZbinrs barely even got screentime. I still agree with the suggestion Emma Blackery made after 2017 Rewind aired. Make regional rewinds! Make a Rewind US, make a Rewind UK, make a Rewind Europe, etc. It would give people airtime and not make anyone feel less important
