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.

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 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.

The best thing about this kind of event is that it could bring together many members of the platform. Since Rewind was cancelled, there hasn't been a lot of unity with KZbin and its content creators (videos get taken down, not getting enough income, ridiculous amount of ads, dislikes getting removed etc.). We need a point where all KZbinrs can get together and reminisce about the great things we've acheived instead of complaining or arguing.

I think the KZbin Rewinds of 2012 through 2015 perfectly captured how KZbin was its own thing, it's own talent pool separate from traditional media, and its own community like you said it felt like. Defo really miss that aspect 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.

KZbin Rewind 2018 was unironically the pinnacle of KZbin, because as was said in the video it completely unites all of us, but also, what other platform would allow for their flagship production for the year to be the single most ridiculed thing on the platform. It also showed that when KZbin tried to make something more along the lines of a traditional production, with more CGI and celebs, that it didn’t actually fit in with platform itself. I would love nothing more than to have rewind back, maybe each year a council of KZbinrs get included in the process, to allow it to still be real. And honestly if it was longer I’d be down too. 20/30 mins would be fine by me.

[@gracereads2917]

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

Hey James, my daughter’s birthday is coming up. She’ll be turning 10. I remember introducing her to your channel 3-4 years ago and she became absolutely obsessed. We’d rewatch your videos over and over again. So, easy to say, ever since we’ve made it a tradition to grab some snacks, snuggle up, and watch your videos together whenever you drop something new. Your videos are one of a few ways we bond over a common interest. You help bridge the gap and I’m sure a lot of millennial/genz parents feel the same way. Thank you so much ☺️
