Face-Off: Please Be Kind, Don't Rewind
by TsarStepan | created - 28 Dec 2020 | updated - 29 Dec 2020 | Public** Insert your brief summary here in this convenient industrial paper shredder."On November 12, 2020, YouTube announced that the 2020 edition of Rewind had been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that '2020 has been different. And it doesn’t feel right to carry on as if it weren’t.'"*
Wait? 2020 was different? More so than most of the previous several decades' worth of years? That's an incredibly shocking revelation to me. Could someone drop a brief summary of what went wrong with 2020?**
Which of the following streaming atrocities makes you relatively more appreciative that there won't be one more terrible YouTube recap video for the dumpster fire that is 2020? To clarify: which of these streaming monstrosities is the worst?
With the new year upon us, let's lament the year that was 2020. We can properly socially distance at this virtual gathering over here.
