Reaction videos annoy me

WTF is up with “reaction videos”? I can understand some of them being legit and providing decent content. For example when a professional “reacts” and adds feedback or criticism to an amateur doing something wrong but now I see all of these videos where someone simply green screens the original content creators video with their face superimposed over it making stupid expressions. I feel like this is theft honestly as they are just trying to get views by ripping off popular content and “reacting” to it.

Or am I just being a boomer and need to shut up and sit down?

I totally agree. It's a form of parasitizing on someone else's content. I never click on those, I can watch the original and form my own opinion, why should I care about the opinion and face play of someone who I don't know and don't find interesting or important in any way? And even if it's someone I find interesting otherwise, why would I want to watch their facial reactions? Why would anyone? 😆 Is that supposed to serve as a manual for psychopaths or what? Like..when this happens, make your face look like this.

I really don't find any of that stuff interesting. I think people just like to look at themselves.

@SW-User exactly. It just makes me mad when I see creators that I genuinely like have their material basically ripped off for views.

I personally think reaction videos are a good thing.

Especially when the reaction video is a "first time watching" reaction.

To see how someone else reacts to something that you yourself have already seen.

@Sidewinder no they're just stupid parasites who like to hear and see themselves.

I agree with you but what annoys me the most is reaction videos to different songs.

Some people incredibly over react to simple stuff.

I dislike all those videos.

I started watching reaction videos after getting into a show called 'Goggle Box', which is a show of different groups of people watching the same TV shows and reacting to them.. (You already knew that)...
I like the first time reactions. Mostly people from other countries reacting to vids of my country Australia. TV, movies. Or to songs I used to listen to when I was a teen.

Depends on the vid. I liked the reaction vid to the end of Arcane. This woman was legit crying. Me too. 😥

I think it is good for people who feel a little lonely and like talking about things they see online.. thats my take. But yes, they annoy me. My daughter watched some when she was younger..I am not sure if she does now.
