how is watching someone listen to a song, the same as posting and interacting on a message board?

i guess if you're talking about the lurkers, that analogy makes sense :dead:
Reading comment written by strangers about some event is the same as watching those strangers reacting to that event.

The internet is basically built on paraphilia. Of course, reaction videos and streaming is the most extreme version. But the weird dynamic remains the same.

Reaction channels are original content, you are giving an original reaction/thoughts/opinions. Not to mention how many thousands of hours of content are created by reaction channels that Youtube gets ad revenue for.

THis pertains to AI videos and faceless youtube channels that make compilations of other people's content and low effort reactions where they just play the video with the guy in a little square in the corner and every minute they stop the video to nod their head and say "Yeah, I agree."
How are reaction channels not seen as “low effort“ uploads tho? It might be “original“ but theres not too much effort being put into that type of content

YouTube can make those rules because they’re the biggest player. Until “reactors” move to a different platform then they have no real sway.

People for get a few years ago during the “ad-pocalyse” that destroyed a bunch of creators income.

You can't correct the internet

It will keep breeding weirdness

This is just the beginning
