I absolutely hate them with every fiber of my being. For one, who gives a **** about your reactions to a movie trailer or a song or whatever the **** else. Secondly, there's not a genuine bone in any of their bodies, their reactions are forced and fake.

That's our YouTube culture these days.

Thoughts?

I am not even sure that I care enough about what other people think to actually know what you are talking about being a thing.

I mean I guess I get the concept, you watch something online and react to it, but really, who gives a **** about what you think mr video watcher.


Wait, unless this is like a money making kinda thing, then I am TOTALLY in.

A very choice few make money doing it but the rest are clueless idiots who think the world actually cares how they feel about something.

The exceptions were the reaction videos for GoT red wedding scene, that shit was wild. Also some of the crazy fan reaction stuff, people acting like idiots makes me laugh.

IDubbz did a good job on breaking down reaction videos.

I dislike content for the sake of producing content. Reaction videos are one type for sure.

The other one I really dislike is when someone uses cheap animation to basically explain a wikipedia page on something with very little expertise on the topic, just a days worth of research. We get it, youtube's algorithm rewards animated book reports. And lastly there is this trend for videos on very obvious subject matters, and it seems like mostly millennial video publishers LOVE to take a 15 second explanation, and stretch it out with a flaky history lesson on whatever it is. It's not ONLY millennials, because a few others also do it and people click that shit all day long, just mostly. It's too bad, I used to think a few youtubers were good at showing off products.
ie: Did you know Super Mario Bros 2 in North America is just a modified Doki Doki Panic? *insert 5 minute history lesson on Doki Doki Panic*

We get it dude, you only have 30 seconds of content and two forced jokes to go along with your 10 minutes of generic animation.

Kids react to Doki Doki Panic. Here's a history lesson and fun little animation. Oh, and here is a slideshow and power point with robotic voices to read the slides in case you needed more help using the internet.

I think part of the appeal is that you enjoy seeing people react similarly to things you like. It's like showing your friend a new song you like, and hoping they'll like it like you do.

I've watched a few(Lost in Vegas is ok, because they take some time to actually break down some of the rap lyrics they're listening to), but I agree that most are pretty fucking stupid.

TBH, if you're going to make a reaction video, at least take the time to properly analyze what you're reacting to.

I agree YouTube has a compilation of Chicago Bears fan live reactions to Devin Hester kickoff return in the Superbowl that are quiet entertaining but if you are doing it weekly for views it can be cringe.

I love how he was talking pretty calmly, then just goes straight for the TV.

I like the reaction videos to soul crushing sports moments and pedophile reactions after being caught.
