2023, in 7 minutes 

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

This is better than RU-vid rewind

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 :)

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

I lost it at “ ice cream so good” 😂

Seeing this makes me realise just how horrible it has been

idk if Vox staff is reading this, but they should definitely make 2012, 2011 and previous year look-backs. The quality is impeccable

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.

Happy New Year!!! 🎉🥳 🏆 I finally graduated high school this year on May 19, 2023... End of an era in my life...

The editors deserves a raise for this one

2020 the *year* felt like a decade, but 2021, 2022, 2023 have gone by so quickly. Before you know it, it will be the 30's.

What a long, chaotic, painful... Year. Thank you Vox for letting us know how valuable my life is, that I must take advantage of the time, to be grateful and enjoy with my loved ones and with myself; what a year...

I started watching these in quarantine and every year i watch them and cry

I live in Turkey and experienced the earthquake disaster on February 6th. We still carry their wounds. I can never forget that day. If I told you what we went through, maybe you wouldn't believe it. We suffered very painful losses, we were homeless, we were left alone... I still cry when I think about it. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone in the country and around the world who stood by us in these difficult days. I hope the year 2024 will be a year of health, happiness, peace and no disasters for the whole world.

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.

Best year in review I’ve seen yet. Thank you!

Such a year, so long yet that short.A fever dream.Thank yo Vox

Despite each year being one of tragedy after tragedy, I love that you always end on a message of hope, that one day perhaps things will get better. Thank you Vox.

Ever since after 2020 it feels all the years have been going very fast ngl Years feel like months and months feel like days

I am from manipur and I am thankful that you had mentioned us as well.

Ever since 2020 each year felt the same....2010-2019 was the best decade of all time......❤

I feel like this is the kind of video that I think I'll legitimately come back to in 10 years to just reflect. In the end, this was a pretty odd year...

A very tragic year for much of the world. We are at the most important crossroads in the 21st century. Wars, politics, and climate change are all on the table. Hoping for the best! 🙌🙌

appreciate how u included everything not just one side of the story

that short 7 mins video of 2023 looks like Chaos.

Well done, the effort you have put into this video isn’t going unnoticed, this was an extremely impressive recap, both inspiring and heartbreaking, and I’m hopeful for a better 2024.

2024 better be an amazing year, we cannot let it be like 2023. Edit: ...

After watching this wonderful rewind video i want to say that 2023 was so hard for us, maybe even harder than 2022. But 2023 was bright and unforgettable surely and i wish everyone good next year. Greetings from Russia!

This was so gripping to watch, what a great edit! I am from South Africa, so it would have been cool to see a more global inclusivity within an annual recap - better representation of current events on an even larger scale. That being said, this was still a very enjoyable and informative viewing experience, thank you!! 🌟🙏

Somehow 2023 felt crazier and more apocalyptic than 2020

Videos like this really make you realize how small you are in a world like this

12 Points to the Netherlands! 👑 EUROPAPA!💛

So powerful!! I can’t help but think that this year will bring much needed change, I just hope it’s for the better. Take care of yourselves!! 💓💓

This is such a realistic recap of this year. Full of schemes that scream, "we're dying, help", full of words that explain, "but we're not dead yet!". Humanity needs to revive its hearts as much as it needs to thrive in its feats.

7 minutes of straight goosebumps knowing we went through all this. it felt like forever watching it because of all the tragedy that the video discussed back to back to back

did this video make anyone else wanna cry especially towards the end?

Such a great video but surprised you didn't mention Prigozhin

These yearly recap videos are so important for future generations. And the editing is so good!

The 2020s have been a decade to remember. In good and bad ways. Felt like the only long year was 2020. Time is going so fast Guys I meant to say so far my bad

this video was done incredibly well, everyone should see this

So many great things happened in 2023. For me. I sometimes forget how much stuff can happen and how many life's can be changed in good and bad ways in such a simple and uneventful time for one person like me.

I feel like 2023 has had twice as many disasters as any other year

Impressive recap of eventful moments! It's like you've captured life in all its madness and magic in one place.

This video made me cry... thank you :)

this year was like 10 in one, mind baffling to watch this

These always make me tear up ngl, even though such horrible things have happened this year, humanity is still striving towards advancement.

2023 was the hardest year for me, my father passed away right before this Thanksgiving, I still couldn't accept that. I hope I can go back to the 2010s, but time will never stop running. We have to accept the change.

The Taifun which hit Hong Kong in september almost canceled our flyout, we were the last flight that evening when in the night the Taifun hit, glad i made it out before

A beautiful video. It reminds me how the world, and humanity, is both terrible and tragic while simultaneously beautiful and inspiring.

The fact that you guys showed Manipur's situation is so touching, because even in this country of ours not many know of the deadly situation . I thank you sincerely Vox

Born in 2004. Since then it feels like I've lived a century of events.

We are all going through so much… never in human history have our brains been going through so much chaos at once. We have to support and love each other

actually America's 2023, in 7 minutes

This video is not made of clips, it's made of moments and emotions which we can all relate to in one way or another. Lets make 2024 a better year.

I cry everytime vox does this year in review, it’s so well done.

thank god for a good year for me and I hope these new years are gonna be good for people too

7:23 and onward brought me to tears…thank you Vox

This entire video seems like an intro to a post-apocalyptic movie.

Thank you Vox for including our state Manipur's issue as well 🙏🙏 I pray that the New Year 2024 restores hope and strength to humanity.

0:41 „Ice cream so good“ that’s the reason we should run right there

Though I am not a emotional person who misses people or *Those days* but this video made me tear up in the end..

It really feels like the world is progressively becoming worse. I can't even begin to imagine how next year is going to turn out

This was beautiful and terrifying. So many emotions packed into one small clip. We have to stand by each other to live a more peaceful 2024.

this is the best video I have watched in 2023

Finally watched this after bookmarking it at release - powerful stuff, great work. Thanks for always producing quality content.

This felt as though it was predominantly six minutes of the difficult news from this year, with a fleeting minute offering a glimmer of goodness and happiness. Remember, amidst the adversity, there still lies a resilient spark of hope and positivity. Let's carry that glimmer into the future, uniting to create a brighter, more compassionate world. Born in 2004, I dream of a future for my children, grandchildren, and all the generations to come, a future where they can enjoy a world brimming with innovation, understanding, and peace, and where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." With this in mind, may our actions today, tomorrow, and in the years to come, lay the groundwork for a better tomorrow for everyone.

Some big things happened this year. But what about the family who sat in a field under hazy sunlight, and shared a picnic? What about the sound of your friend snoring at night, the music coming from the neighbor next door, the ant crawling across your floor? This earth is so much more than a string of catastrophes or uncontrollably large events. It is made of of inconceivably many small things too, which you are uniquely a part of. These little stories, routines, thoughts and feelings are so, so big. So here’s to a year of your life, too. Thank you

The new RU-vid Rewind, but they like it.

After 2020 it feels like years are passing by sooooo fast 😢!

I say this every year, and the next leaves me saying it again: 2023, what an unforgettable year you’ve been. Noticing all we’ve lived leaves us teary yet inspired. I only would like to add 1 thing: 🇵🇦 Panama’s fight against mining giant FQM. I’m not sure how it compares to the rest of the world, but to us it was huge. We’ve never seen protests as big as these since 30 years ago.

Im really emotional cause at my big age of 28 I finally felt like I was in the know about 95% of these events, world events, politics, pop culture, and underground journalism. There was a time where I would not even vote cause I did not know who was running, times where I knew nothing about Palestine or politic changes, and it was only the entertainment and pop culture news that I was on top of. While the world does seem a lot scarier these days, my hope has grown exponentially past that.

the amount of times I had to pause and think about the clip that was shown in the video. i really forgot about more then half of this.

This just reminds me of how blessed I am. Enjoy every day you have ❤️

Wow even tho this feels like a TV news rewind, it still mixed pop and meme cultured all together all so well. This makes me feel so at home like a youtube rewind back then. Well done Vox, you've outdid yourself and even RU-vid Rewind!! Cheers to a better year in 2024!!

Despite the tears, I look forward to watching these videos that highlight the year. They are powerful and beautiful, yet haunting reminding everyone of the daily fight to see another day as danger errupts globally. Thank you Vox.

Vox should do a happy version too. It ain’t all bad ❤

Great video but it only focused on the negative. This is one of the main reasons so many people feel depressed these days, when in reality the world of humans is better than ever before. We need more fairness and objective news in this era

January 2023 was just yesterday, right? And with a blink, we are here, bidding our goodbyes to 2023. Where did the entire year go? 😭🚀

2023 felt like a recap of all of 2020 and 2021. Those two yrs felt so slow yet scary,, everyone sitting at home, getting to spend time with themselves or their family or pets and now 2023 was in contrary a confusing and loud year. A year where no one was sitting around, there was just a lot happening

Its fascinating and strange at how one feels the year has just gone by without much happening . but so so much happened ...

Excellent editing job Vox team!

Not the easiest year, but nothing can be worse than 2020. Fortunately, all of us have a hope that 2024 will be better. We can do this!

This year has a lot of dark moments but I love how the video still shows great moments from the year. Hope next year will be better

The thought of war its selfs makes me cry sometimes i imagine myself in it

Every second matters, every minute every hour every day every month …. Matters and it’s amazing how much happens in such a short time

Thanks for showing some of the wins of the year at the end, reminding us of all the good that has happened, and all the positivity that exists. It's so important, it cannot even be put into words.

That is the most journalistic video I've seen. Absolutely covering everywhere, not just focusing on the USA, but acknowledging other regions and randomly throwing in references to tv, video games, and other media. Very well done

does anyone know where the speech that starts at 7:24 is from? would love to hear it in full but I can’t find it anywhere

This year wasn't bad 8/10
