1. Happy New Year to you too.

2. Yep. People have been posting their own versions of Youtube Rewind to generally warmer receptions than the official one.

3. Youtube Rewind 2018 has garnered much hate for a multitude of reasons. Some of the bigger reasons include of:

-The exclusion of prominent Youtube celebrities (Pewdiepie for a start) in favor of people who aren't notably associated with Youtube, people like Will Smith, Trevor Noah, and John Oliver being major offenders.

-Massive events like Logan Paul's 'Suicide Forest' incident, Pewdiepie's battle with T-series, and the Logan Paul vs. KSI Boxing Match are all noticeably absent. Given the controversy surrounding these events, some people have speculated that Youtube purposefully left out these events to exclude any Youtubers who aren't "ad-friendly".

-Many of the trends showcased in the Rewind are largely considered "out of touch" these days. This is ironic considering that the theme of this Rewind is "Everyone Controls Rewind" and Youtube failed to include the trends that people still think fondly of.

-There is a bit of political and social commentary that occurs about halfway into the Rewind. Whether or not one agrees with those views, is up to you, but most will agree that it is extremely out of place. Even for me, I noticed how shoehorned it felt on just the first time watching it. Many have pointed out that Youtube rewind is an homage to Youtubers and trends, while politics should be taken elsewhere.
