What Does This Mean?
A video in which a creator, celebrity or influencer apologises for or addresses public criticism, a format often mocked when it feels scripted or insincere.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The apology video came out two days after the sponsor dropped him."
LORE & ORIGIN
Wikipedia describes the apology video as a video where a celebrity or influencer apologises for or addresses backlash, often criticised as insincere. Know Your Meme dates the YouTube version to the mid-2010s, with parodies from 2015. This is largely the same phenomenon as the existing youtube-apology entry; 'apology video' is the platform-neutral name and covers apologies outside YouTube.
