''YouTube Rewind 2018: Everyone Controls Rewind'' is a video uploaded to the official YouTube channel on December 6, 2018. It is historically notable for becoming the most-disliked video in the platform's history, serving as a case study in the divergence between corporate platform representation and the established creator community.
On June 12, 2026, the YouTube channel ''MrBeast'', operated by Jimmy Donaldson, achieved a historic platform milestone by becoming the first channel to surpass 500 million subscribers. This unprecedented metric firmly solidifies the channel's status as the most-subscribed entity in YouTube history. The milestone represents a significant paradigm shift in digital media consumption, highlighting the massive scale and influence at which independent, creator-led channels now operate on the global stage.
