YouTube Rewind 2019 was the platform's attempt to course-correct after the record-breaking backlash of Rewind 2018. Instead of a high-budget scripted production, YouTube opted for a 'top ten' list format based on actual data and statistics. While it was more accurate, the community largely perceived it as 'lazy' and 'boring,' leading to a wave of memes comparing the lack of creativity to a basic WatchMojo video. The meme template is often used to criticize low-effort sequels, safe corporate decisions, or situations where someone provides the bare minimum after a previous failure.
