YouTube Cancels YouTube Rewind for 2020

They did, however, thank all the viewers who watch and all the creators who create videos on the site: "You’ve found ways to lift people up, help them cope, and make them laugh. You made a hard year genuinely better. Thank you for making a difference.” (via Just Jared)
