* ArtifactTitle: The Easter Eggs that accompany most of the Rewinds. Initially, they were actual Easter Eggs (i.e. hidden videos) that you could click on at key points in the Rewinds, but YouTube disabled annotations, meaning the only way viewers can watch them now is via non-hidden playlists (in fact, Rewinds 2017 and 2018 never had annotations at all, and jumped straight to this method.) Despite this, they are still called Easter Eggs.
