They literally sit there for 20 minutes likewhile somebody elses content plays, and call themselves content creators.
and i still watch this shyt because i'm bored af at work.
Yup…. Dudes just pause the video every 90 seconds, makes a comment, and at the end says “let me know if you agree fam, post, like and subscribe.”
What is that?

The whole "reaction" schtick is the laziest form of 'content creation' there is, because the b*stards involved don't have ANYTHING original to bring, but instead generate views by having some of the STUPIDEST thumbnails known to man ontop of a myriad of barely interesting but obviously false situations.
"Black man watches heavy metal for the first time"
"White punk girl listens to Bad Brain for the first time."
"If you laff you lose at these tiktok memes"
It's designed to get you to click, watch, scroll, be disgusted, but ultimately leave enough metrics to count as a VIEW and that's the game. What's even worse is now people are just straight up jacking content by putting themselves on the bottom of the screen, not even reacting/adding commentary, but laughing or nodding approvingly at what's happening, which is troublingly a trend that came over from Tiktok since alot of the content is AI generated/read information that garners enough interest on it's own, without having some mute weirdo re-invent the laugh track by nodding/approving as if you needed any incentive to do so
It's almost to the point I felt like using my Youtube mule accounts to report/copyright flag/cause trouble, but I just do my best to clear my algorithm of such bullshyt and keep it pushing.

Before covid a there was some youtubers that would sneak camera's into movie theaters and record the audience reaction to big movies on opening night.
Companies kept copyrighting them and covid was the last nail in the coffin. But it was fun to see genuine audience hype to scenes in movies

Bih call me senpai
First reaction vid I remember was Joe Rogan reacting to 2 Girls 1 Cup 
It definitely ain't what it used to be. In my opinion, the Shorts are killing that site. I wish there was an option to disable them.
I like the short better actually. Cuts out the fluff, too many youtubers giving longwind intros and telling you to like comment and subscribe.
Your video is captioned "how to change the air filter" I don't need a theme song and with an avengers style compilation of your past videos.

That in and of itself, seems dope.
I remember watching a videos in similar fashion around the time Avengers Endgame came out, because the reactions the final battle scene got were so fukking huge/emotional off top, Me and the folk that watched it in theatres went to youtube to rekindle that feeling.
I wish that was a thing around the time Bruno hit theatres.
Speaking of reaction videos. I remember when these little hat weirdos.
Really tried to act like the Mafia out in Youtube streets and copyright/funnel all reaction vids made by people through THEIR network, with the hopes that youtube would side with them and make it illegal to use the word 'react' without being a part of their brand. The public kicked off and they had to cop pleas while their subscriber count went down in real time due to how many people were unsubscribing.
Man, the glory days of Youtube are gone.
