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.
There is a demand; they will move somewhere else

Youtube is mad because those dude are gaming the system

I don't have an issue with this, I don't watch that type of lazy content regardless.

Well, Tariq made fully AI music videos that were funny..

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
There is effort if people are rebutting points and giving their opinions.

And usually the video they are reacting to is the same thing with more publicly known people

The reactors will just move to twitch. There’s no other place to move honestly other than patreon. And majority of these reactors ain’t got pull like that to have that many patreon subscribers

I guess it depends on how knowledgeable the reactors are. Majority of these reactors ain’t really doing anything even if they are giving opinions, they’re basically still stealing
