Reception

Rae Votta of The Daily Dot praised the video segments that introduced each award category for the unique spin that was added to each video by the various online content creators which produced them. Votta also felt that the imposition of a strict runtime due to the event being televised made the show flow better when compared to previous years. [3] The musical performances were well received, particularly Future's performance of "March Madness" which was praised by writers for Spin, Vulture, MTV News , and Vice. [6] [16] [17] [18] Hailee Steinfeld also received praise for her performance by Teen Vogue . [19] Votta called the performances "flashy and impressive" but felt that they were disconnected from YouTube and online content creation. [3] Writing for MTV News , Deepa Lakshmin praised Lilly Singh's acceptance speech in which she said "Lastly I want to say huge, huge shout-out to Google and YouTube for not being scared to put a brown girl on a billboard." Lakshmin called the speech "badass" and felt that it was especially meaningful for Indian fans of Singh's. [20]

Reception of the event on social media was positive according to analysis done by the social TV platform Canvs, using data from Nielsen Twitter TV ratings, which found that an estimated 41.5% of reaction tweets to the event contained the emotion of "love" and 16.2% the reaction "congrats". [1] According to Nielsen, the show was the leading social non-sports program on television the day it aired. [21]
