I don’t understand why this is a thing? Who wants to watch someone nod their head to someone else’s content?

Just show the original video! How did this get popular and what is wrong with those that helped it to happen?

    Yeah I don’t like them either.

    You know that person reacting already watched it at least twice before putting on a show of exaggerated expressions.

    It just seems dumb to me.

      That’s the “better” reaction channels. There are channels that record singer generic reactions (no commentary) and put them over hundreds of videos despite the reactions not making sense at all

      It’s ridiculous. I can’t even figure out a stupid reason to do it.

        I guess it’s either cheap to make background noise (instead of taking the effort to create an actual original video) or it’s kind of like mukbangs, where some people would watch them while eating themselves so as to feel less lonely.

        I don’t understand those long ass unboxing videos either. If you wanna review a product and show us what all came with it. Have that shit all laid out on a table before you start the video.

        It’s weird to make a 10 min video of slowly cutting tape and meticulously removing things from a shipping container.

        Weird.
