I wasn't too bothered by the video. The way I see it is that Dan knew there weren't many memes this year, but this video's a good way to do a sort of "year in review". And as long as he isn't dramatically screeching my ears off, I'm thoroughly pleased.
It was less over-acted than previous years and also a bit more honest. He mentioned feeling good about himself and those ripped jeans, shaded Shane/Marcus, noted that Phil took the donut pic, and if he made any comments that seemed particularly critical of his fan base, then... he's not wrong? Fandoms can be invasive - his in particular - and if anyone has the right to get a bit feisty about it, it's Dan. All that said, I didn't actually see anything especially negative in what he said.
It was slow in parts and a bit unsure of its own tone, but oddly, this video left me with a calmer feeling than I usually get from Dan videos. So, if that's any sign of videos to come this year (lol not with TIIT, but one can hope), then I'm fairly positive.
