Why will YouTube no longer make Rewind video?

According to YouTube, they have come to the decision of stopping the Rewind video mostly because it had become impossible for the makers to show the wide range of content in a short video. But there is also a possibility that the makers might have decided to cancel the annual rewind video format because of lack of traction on it. YouTube's 2018 Rewind video broke the record for being the most disliked video. It was mostly because the creators complained that YouTube completely ignored the community and featured mainstream celebrities in the Rewind video. The community expected to see more of the home-grown YouTubers in the video but were surprised after the video went live.
