Hey guys, I know we're all suppose to be all nice and respectful to each other but I just can't help myself to not cringe my teeth against these type of youtubers, I'm talking about Reactors. What are Reactors? Lets say someone owns a camera, doesn't know what to film, doesn't know what to talk about, not in a mood to use it as lets plays, except watch a video and laugh about it. Miraculously these youtubers are like in the 10k sub range... Why & How??!?!

I know there are some youtubers that has like one or two videos about watching & reacting to other youtubers flaming about them & thats okay (cause its pretty entertaining), but a channel dedicated of watching unrelated videos and at the end of it saying "yeah, its a good video, I like it." I mean seriously? Com'on how the hell is this entertaining? I understand Youtubers such as Pewdiepie does something like this on a regular bases but at least he's (finally) putting in some effort such as screaming like a school girl & editing some parts. I think reaction videos should just be a collaboration kinda thing with other youtubers such as this:

Its entertaining cause these are youtubers you know, and hearing what they have to say at the end of the video is interesting to listen to, cause you wouldn't expect what a makeup artist, or a comedian would have to say on a particular kind of video.

and NOT like this:

Okay just pause the video! Its not worth watching the whole thing of some guy watching a video, unless you've already watched Fazbear & Friends by hotdiggedydemon. To save your time:
Dude pretty much remain quiet the whole video (besides chuckling, and talking about the bunny), and at the end he was like "Yeah, its a good video, I like it. Be sure to hit that like button and let me know what other videos you want me to watch."

Me: >.> How the hell did I wasted 8 minutes of this, I now feel like a lonely person, watching a person, watching a video that I've already watched.

am I jelly? Yes. Do I want to make content like this? Hell No, to me this is completely lazy work.

What do you have to say about these kind of youtubers? Do they fall in the lowest of low category such as reply girls, how to get this stuff for free hackers, copyright jerks asking for subs? Am I getting worked up on this? meh.

Some are well done and give us a better view of what others think. Kids react, Teens react, Elders react type content on that channel you posted is pretty good because we get to see what different generations think about something we may have enjoyed in our own generation. I don't see any point in the single person watching videos type channels, those are pointless to me.
 
You worded this great.

I feel exactly the same way. I sometimes watch the FineBros "elders react series" because it's funny watching old people play Grand theft auto and stuff like that. But when all it is is literally no more than an average 16 year old Joe-smo with a camcorder, it's ridiculous how many people are interested in watching him/her just WATCH a video!

And when you say you're jealous, I am too. I also wish I could make money/and views just by basically uploading others content with a face cam.
 
We all use YouTube for different reasons. Some people want views and some people want a sense of social connection. Unfortunately it often plays out that the person seeking views attracts the person seeking social connection, so the maker gets those views and the viewers get a false sense of satisfaction. Then there are the people on the outside who look on in disappointment, but I guess we just have to ask "Who are we to judge?"

As for reactors in general...
Some are good, some are bad. Sort of like how some people are great at vlogging and others suck! I, for one, feel like I'm the latter, but I'm also on a journey to make better videos. Maybe the bad reactors are on a journey of betterment too! ... Or maybe not.

wow why does that have so many views??? I just left a bad comment and told him I am going to do a reacting video to his reacting video.
 
You're basically just taking a hit at someones channel because he gets views.. everyone does something different with their youtube but you shouldn't take a hit at them for what they do.

The dude basically stole a full video and just sat there the whole time and said maybe one word during the video, then said like 2 sentences at the end. If I took your video and just sat there through it with my feed in the lower left corner and then said "I liked it, I thought it was good, I can't believe that happened. Like and subscribe for more reactions", what would you think? He wasn't even really reacting in this one, not like the videos where people watch shocking stuff and are like "AWWWWW gross" or something funny, he just sat there.... I think I'll do a reaction to his reaction just to see what he thinks lol. I'll upload it on another channel though.[DOUBLEPOST=1435617651,1435617558][/DOUBLEPOST]

Shouldn't that be a copyright hit playing back the full video? I'm sure I would get hit. I just can't believe he basically sat through the video without really even saying anything and people LIKE that!? WTF???[DOUBLEPOST=1435617752][/DOUBLEPOST]

I should make a reaction to his reaction video, then you should make a reaction to my reaction of his reaction! We will basically almost cover up the whole video with our feed lol!

I don't think it's that people like the reaction, but that they like the cartoon. But they should be smart enough to dislike it and call him out rather than basically PRAISING him for it.... LIKE WE DID! :D

Are you in??? I want to react to his reaction, then you react to my reaction, and we can get a 4th person to do it so that in the end, it will really only be our video feeds covering up the original video! We can do it like the person on the right side looks over at him and makes fun of him, then the people in the upper part would have to look down like they do in the Brady Bunch intro. I think this could be hilarious!
