2023, in 7 minutes

This year feels like the longest yet shortest year ever. So many things have happened.

this video has made me realize how truly lucky and privileged I am. There’s thousands of people dying from war and here I am in my house wearing warm clothing, able to eat, and I am celebrating holidays with my loved ones, truly beyond thankful 🙏

This is better than YouTube rewind

"We are being asked to love the extraordinary species that is humankind and keep it alive." What a powerful sentiment.

did anyone else feel like the year was 3x as fast after June

2024 needs to make a huge comeback. Humanity needs a win.

please never stop doing these videos. they're always so good

"does tiktok access the home wifi network?" "???"

The years before 2020 just feels like another era with how much has change and will change in the future.

Seeing this makes me realise just how horrible it has been

That part 'India is on the moon' is something to be proud of.

Thanks for keeping making these rewind videos! Every year it's harder and harder to watch them, so many emotions from all these events

as emotional as these yearly videos get me, they also make me have a moment of realization that my life is nowhere near as bad as so many others in this world, quite honestly i am privileged. i think its important to watch these for that reason. not only as an eye opener, but to remind those of us who are privileged, that we shouldn't take it for granted.

every time i watch Vox Rewind, it never fails to make me feel like it was a fever dream

I know the video is compiled in a way that reminds us that even with a loss, there is always hope, but with the tragedies and loss of that year being that severe, I can't help but feel a bit hopeless.

School really makes a difference how I perceive the year. My Social Studies teacher from last year talked about the earthquakes in Syria and Turkey. That feels like 2022, but it was 2023. I can't believe it, really. These videos honestly always make me wanna change the world, make me wanna support what I believe in, but I know I'm too young to do very much. I can't go to protests. I can't do a whole lot. These videos also make me realize how lucky I truly am. I'm not scared for my life everyday, although I do live in the US, where school shootings often happen. But that's nothing compared to what others across the world have been going through. I'm so lucky to live this life that I do, yet I don't even realize it half the time. These videos nearly bring me to tears, and thank you for bringing us such a detailed yet compact video full of wild events.

I'm only 2 minutes in, and this already feels like an introductory scene of a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie or game set in 2050 :)

I was born in 1975. Judging by some comments, a lot of people are saying that so much more happens these days, and things are looking bleaker and bleaker every year - but remember that we're spoonfed news and world events through our devices all day to drive engagement. I watched footage of the Turkish earthquake for hours, I followed the Israel attack and J6 live. In decades past, you'd just have the evening news and the paper the next day - not a limitless deluge of content on demand. Just as much is happening today as it did back in the 80's and 90's. The threat to democracy and climate change are my biggest concerns.

I lost it at “ ice cream so good” 😂

This has been a year with many ups and downs, to many great years ahead. Things have changed for the better and the worse, and it is up to us to see how things will go.
