Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’ Clip Is Set To Be Dethroned As The Most Disliked YouTube Video Ever
As we approach 2019, YouTube’s attempt to bid goodbye to the year in a video tribute has specularly backfired. The clip is set to become the most disliked video on the platform, beating out Justin Bieber. That’s got to hurt.
As it stands, ‘Baby’ by Bieber has 9.8 million dislikes while ‘YouTube Rewind 2018’ has 9.6 million downvotes. But considering the YouTube clip has only been up for a few days while Beiber’s video is eight years old, we can safely assume it will surpass the pop star’s position.
It might seem a bit odd for such a simple video to be hated so furiously. The recap is supposed to highlight some of the biggest YouTubers of the last 12 months but many viewers haven’t been too happy with the people chosen to feature in the throwback.
One of the most liked comments reads “Youtube is so disconnected with their viewers now it’s not even funny,” while another wrote “they literally skipped all the actually relevant stuff that happened this year.”
The top 20 disliked YouTube videos includes Punkee’s personal fave ‘Johnny Johnny Yes Papa’, Nicki Minaj’s ‘Anaconda’ and Miley Cyrus’ ‘Wrecking Ball’. So tbh, YouTube is in good company.
