"Wait the 2018 Rewind came out? When did that happen?" -Watches Video- Well at least the animators got some recognition.

I was wondering what could have been so wrong with the 2011 video for dislikes to outweigh likes...

From Wikipedia: “On December 20, 2011, "YouTube Rewind 2011" was uploaded. It was created and produced by YouTube and Portal A Intercreated, and features Rebecca Black as the host.”

Ah, gotcha.

It’s painfully clear that YouTube has a vision for what they want to be popular content on YouTube and/or what they want YouTube’s “image” to be. Instead of just featuring popular content creators and memorable moments/trends, they shoe horn in a bunch of celebrities who have basically nothing to do with the site and cherry pick YouTubers that they think represent their brand the way they want.
