Glad to see such a mature response from you DM, sadly sometimes its like talking into the wind, some just cant see past their own opinions and recognise not everybody shares that opinion
After further deliberation i deleted my comment, wrong state of mind. Found you through asmon and I get d4 updates from you. While I don’t agree with a majority of his content, can’t argue the fact his exposure works.
100%. Without watching Asmon react to DM's Immortal content, I don't know that I'd have discovered him. I often disagree with him on things, but suggesting that what he does doesn't help creators he reacts to nor is transformative content is such a cooked take.
gonna call it now - asmon does react to this, and we get about 5 seconds in before he pauses to tell a 10 minute story about the last time him and his dad went to Wendy's. then we'll get another 5 seconds of video when mspaint will suddenly appear on screen, pie charts ensue
Exactly lol. You can tell by the dudes post hes never watched a full Asmon vid. He's the last one thats in the corner shaking his head for the whole video
Yeah everybody who complains should watch vids from sssniperwolf or xqc🤣 lmao if what they are doing goes under faire use than Asmon is more than in the clear
He sources the videos, he links it to his chat, he always asks chat to visit the video and give it a like, and he doesn't skip the ads in the videos. There's not another content creator I can name that does this every single time
Right? And he is constantly pausing, discussing points, etc. He's following Fair Use pretty strongly. He isn't 'stealing' work, he's basically doing journalism.
Asmon has been a content leech for ages, feel free to check my comments on many of his videos calling him out. Stop giving that failed WoW scrub his attention.
Either or, react stuff is still the lowest effort, bottom of the barrel 'content' anyone can do. It has its good sides and its bad sides for the person getting their content 'stolen'.
Bro, Asmon turns a 20-minute video into an hour. He literally pauses every minute or so and talks about the video. You don't do that if you are just "shaking your head". I've literally subscribed to and watch other creators because I found them through Asmon.
Doesnt matter he still provides nothing. 90% of the people he uses for content don't see any return thats what you brain washed fools don't see. You see someone like DM who is successful because of Asmon but you dont see the other 90% that he just leeches off of. Ill give you an example... the classic wow hardcore channel he leeched off of EVERY SINGLE DAY his reactions got 4x the views or more and that channel got nothing out of it and is probably now dead. He quite literally sucked all the views onto his channel he also provides NOTHING to twitch he just parasitizes content like Hasanabi while making millions spreading hate and division for no reason. His streams are legit sad it's a man child who thinks he has more life experience then everyone while never leaving his chair for 30 years while his brain dead followers praise him like some sort of cult of personality.
Never once have I seen him skip someones video when there was an add and he always credits authors.

right? Asmons reactions are like template of "how to react properly". He doesnt skip credits, ads, he comments on videos, he adds valid points and criticisms...
This. And he usually likes the video and to your point, shares a link for people to go find that person and subscribe or comment, boosting their presence.
@ The uploads other peoples videos with him shaking his head in the corner is something only a person who never watched an asmongold reaction would say. Dude makes a 20 minute video of 4 minute ones, with him talking most of it.
Social media is so weird because it makes us care so much about what strangers think. People we will never meet, people we don’t know, strangers have so much say in our lives when we let them.
Yea, you're not wrong, but you could make the same argument for other things; world leaders, celebrities, historical figures and especially religious figures. It is certainly faster and easier now to obtain news, even when they shouldn't share it (false or morally wrong), but there has always been influencers of some kind, even centuries ago.
Speak for yourself really. I laugh my ass off when people react and create drama of others strangers and no bodies and pretending as if the world is ending. Fucking who care and why should I care if Asmon or anyone or any drama happened in fucking social media..
I will say that what I notice a lot for Asmongold reacting to people is that a lot of the people he reacts to, their channels start to blow up at least a bit after Asmongold watches them. He makes a point of sending his audience to the channels he's watching, especially if they're smaller channels. The amount of really small channels that suddenly shoot up in viewers because Asmongold was their gateway to discovering them is notable.
only video he reacted by not talking and modifying the video that way, was first two Rav's WoW videos. He just laughed there, or said that video is good. BUT, Rav then reuploaded his "nonreaction" to his own channel, like a gigachad.
It's a refreshing change of pace to hear someone speak calmly and rationally. I didn't know who you were before asmon gold and now after hearing this you've earned yourself a subscriber.
i worked with him on a few projects and i can say from my experience with him, he is one of the most respectful behaiving creators ive ever worked with.
@@sugarperez6933no need to be prick mate but then again we are in that age where "if you don't agree with me your wrong cuz I said so" rules the internet
@@d4mephistoI’ll jump in too, Asmon has actually caused me to follow other creators (Darth included) with his reacts. I don’t even play D4 but this guy is fun to watch and I found him because Asmon reacted
Yep. Josh is so good; watching everything I see recommended and the worst MMO series is one of the best. Raxx makes good analysis videos. Hawg keeps it real and the dialect is fun. DM is always nice to put on and does not disappoint ^^
I stumbled upon your videos when you did the touching heart to heart video. I have loved everything since then. Super happy with the way you handle things and approach new games, you are an awesome person. Never stop being you dude!
Ive watched a Asmon reaction where he let the other persons advertisement play in full, on his own video just so they could get the credit, mans solid in my book.
This should get upvoted more. You can dislike Asmon's personality, that is fair game. But the amount of times I've seen Asmon do something like this shows that people who attack his content do so much more often out of personal reasons and not professional ones.
@@SnakeEater503 What do you mean he doesn't take subs? You can't mean that he doesn't allow people to suscribe to his Twitch because there's a subscription button on there.......not sure what you're saying by that.
I feel that both you and Asmon conduct fair conversations that leaves the door open for informed push-back. I found your channel through his, and just subbed now. Keep it up!

I would have never found your channel if it wasnt for asmon´s reaction video. And we can see it time and time again, asmon reacting to somebody is usually great boost to their viewer numbers and careers as whole (thats how his "daughter" got recognized :D)
Something a lot of people don't mention or flat out ignore about Asmongold reaction videos....he ALWAYS plays other content creator's sponsorship videos, helping the other creator make money. He doesn't have to do that, and other people skip over that. How many other UA-camrs have been discovered because of him reacting? He does a lot of good by doing this ..
@@ekio3572 not really. Act man approved of his reactions so he continued doing it for some time. After act man made a video about react content, including asmon, he expressed how he kinda changed his mind and would not want his videos to be reacted to if possible. So Asmon stopped, not one act man video reaction since. All creators have to do to make him stop is tell him to stop and he will, yet no one outside of act man stops him. You know why? Because it's beneficial to them at their size. Act man's channel has grown a decent size so maybe the reactions take views away from him instead of add, but smaller youtubers have no shot of getting the views they are getting if not for Asmon reacting to them. You can't deny the fact that he brings views to smaller channels that would never, in 100 years, get that amount of views, and they know it. Some even openly bait him to watch their videos by making him an object of the video, i.e. the recent fan art made of asmon, or the dude who made a soulslike with asmon as a character. How can you see this and still think he's a vulture for these people when they're the ones trying to get his attention so he can react to them?
You don't get money from someone else watching your sponsorship deals. Deals usually go %per 1 000 + affiliate link clicks. Nobody buying a product would go from Asmons' video to the other guys video, click the link and buy through that link.
I've seen so many of your videos reacted to I felt like I was subbed 😅 but that it's great to see you natively and I've happily subbed. Love your content, love your attitude and candor, see you in my notifications 👊
He might use others videos but in the same alot of the peoples videos that get used end up gaining a follower in a lot of cases. ie i started following you thru him and ive enjoyed your videos, your fair points of view, your reactions since. keep on keeping on my dude!
I don't even watch Diablo IV gameplay. I am interested in the direction gaming is taking and what Asmon/others got to say about it. I wouldn't have found this video or this channel at all if he hadn't reacted to it either.
and also, the Act Man asked him to react to his videos later, so the views on his videos would not dropp off that drasticly after the release and asmon did. you can see the data in Act Mans reacto content Video.
From my pov the impact of Asmongold depend if the video itself (and its creator). For some channels is beneficial to be reacted soon, for some - later. Not sure why, probably various reasons aka cant point only one and say - thats the source of it.
That tweet is the epitome of "Tell me you've never watched an Asmongold video without telling me you've never watched an Asmongold video." Asmon is the *last* person I'd ever expect to 'sit in the corner shaking his head' without talking for 15 minutes after only a minute of the video he's reacting to lmao.
I have to wonder if they're confusing Asmongold with Xqc. I don't typically consume a lot of reaction stuff, but anything I've seen of Asmongold, the dude never shuts up about the video he's watching. Lol And I don't mean that in a negative way. But even then, he has the decency to pause when he starts talking with his chat, which allows the separation and transformation via a discussion with his chat, or making jokes with his chat. Idk, I don't really watch him, but this whole story got me curious to see his reaction stuff first-hand, and from what I see, he's among a small group of reactors you could lodge the "reaction content lazy" accusation at, and it doesn't really stick all that well.
Agreed, xqc is one of the "egregious abusers" of the reaction meta. It's gotten a lot worse that even his chat doesn't let him skip sponsorships or any of that stuff without annoying him for 3 days.
@@DeusGaming-xh1nl xqc and hasan are the worst in this regard, xqc cuz he doesn't understand half the stuff thats going on and doesn't add anything. Hasan cuz half the time he eats or just leaves the room and lets the damn video run lol.
which means he knows he doing something wrong. he could just not show the video and tell his viewers to go watch it in sync with him like most people who actually say they care do. Asmon talks out of one side of his mouth, and then does what ever is convenient and easy because hes naturally that lazy with the other. 99% of people NEVER go to the original video to watch it after their favorite streamer already reacted to it. As a matter of fact, they are more likely to go back to the reactor and give them ANOTHER view instead of the original. When you realize Asmon is just a lazy guy whose gonna take the easiest route to content creation possible, his content and stances on said content make alot more sense.
@@georgealvarez1195 Its easy, either he reacts and you get cloud and views. Even if its just 1%, its more than you would have gotten if he not reacted. No one watches react videos for the original content creator. People wanna watch Asmon reacting. If he is not reacting people would not know you at all.
@@georgealvarez1195 And then he does that and I bet you say "yeah but he didn't give it 15 minutes to make sure the viewers clicked the link" or some other bs. As far as react content goes asmon's not the kind of streamer that made his bread on it and is just a way to unwind a bit from the monotony of gaming. But I guarantee you none of those reactions gave him more viewership than him playing wow or monhun or whatever he streams. And your argument's so fcking braindead I could staple something similar to every content creator, since they're all streaming videogames made by others to gain views or some other stupid ass theorem where they benefit from the work of others and they're lazy. Streaming is basically the viewer seeing the streamer experiencing content made by others no matter which content it is, so unless you hate streamers as a whole this argument is pointless.
Reactions definitely can benefit people. I found this channel and several others watching his reactions. He even says after most videos something like “this is a good video, check out this channel” or something of the sort.
I remember when nintendo tried to sue people reacting to and playing their games or content with the whole internet up in arms complaining about fair use and the reactions giving nintendo more exposure anyway. UA-camrs getting upset over reactions to reactions is somehow even goofier.
Eh asmon is prob the best as far as adding actual discussion to the vids but i don't think its "transformative" or entertaining, far from the best. The best reaction content is jontron/old H3H3 style where they transform a reaction to a video/concept into an entirely unique video with fun little skits and asides.
@@curtisseime8881 No sir, they are taking a spot of something that could have a value and they are allowing people to not have an input so sadly ignoring means allowing which is creating the cancer.
I found you from Asmongold reacting to your Diablo 4 videos. You seemed really reasonable and so I watched other videos and subbed. Same with other channels as well, as long as the channel he is reacting to makes more videos semi-regularly there is a reason for me to sub to them.
I found out that you had transitioned to D4 content through Asmon and that's what got me watching you again (started in Raid:SL days). Was stoked you were doing well in D4 because you were one of the best Raid CCs. I don't even play D4 btw, I prefer other games and enjoy POE sometimes.
I wouldn't say that Asmon stretches the videos per se. In my mind, that implies he adds fluff to skirt around what is transformative. He adds to the conversation, gives his opinions and debates with his chat. If that isn't transformative, I don't know what is.
I'd say he stretches videos, but it's authentic... he's probably not consciously attempting to drag things out, it's just a natural result of the way he reacts. He gets on his pedestal and yaps away, and it can be repetitive and redundant at times, sometimes just saying the same thing as the video, but in different words... or unnecessarily coming up with metaphors for things that the video says, that were already as clear as day lol.
Yep he has almost always relevant and detailed arguments to make towards or against the videos being watched. Neither are forced or drawn out that I have ever seen. I think Asmongold understands instinctively that being absolutely authentic is the most valuable currency on UA-cam. & as such he is just 99% himself.
As lazy as I feel the strategy is, I've never felt that Asmon is ever rude or disrespectful of people he's reacting to. Most of the time when a react hits my feed, I go out of my way to click on both his vid and the original creator. Big reason I found and subbed to this channel.
Same! Asmon genuinely encourages people to sub to the people he reacts to. And he’s always respectful, he reacted to Hazel once and people were being mean about her look he called them out and banned someone I think
hell a lot of the times it feels like it but he even takes ppl in his comments and gives them the floor to make their argument, he does not rly jsut flat out ban somneone who disagrees with him but will literally stop and specifically pick them out and say "go ahead state ue argument, im listening" and actually have a general disagreement conversation thats not just throwing shit at eachothers opinion for being "wrong"
Subbing and clicking on an original video is pointless. You need to WATCH the original video, otherwise it tells the algorithm that people click it but don’t like it because the watch time ends up in the toilet
Asmon reacted to one of my youtube videos and while he wasn’t disrespectful, I got hundreds of hate comments from his followers. Many people said Id be better off dead just because I said I had some unfavorable opinions towards Elden ring. In that moment my perspective completely changed towards Asmongold and his effect towards other content creators.
I discovered you through him and decided to subscribe and have watched quite a few of your videos outside of asmonds reaction content. I use reactors as a good way to find new channels and content because the latest stuff usually pops up on their channels. Glad you had this stance. You are a wholesome guy keep it up
I feel like in today's world, if you disagree or have a different opinion than someone else, they are told to feel like they have to hate you and disrespect you.
Not to mention, fans want to see their favorite streamer or someone who has strong opinions, react to other content, some people send donations to see them react to a specific content.
I got to know you (and many other creators) through Asmon's reactions. I follow/subbed you since then and enjoy your content. I think reacting is good, certainly the way Asmon does - he give his opinion, links the video and tags when possible.
Like I said somewhere else, whole lot of copyright lawyers these last few days. Consumer outrage is exhausting. Found your channel through his videos, glad I did.
To add on, I actually enjoy the back and forth he does a lot of the time. It's a way to create conversation at a person's own pace without time constraints or having to occupy another person's time when they might not otherwise. It's great when used properly
Im a long-time fan of this channel for "takes" like this. DM, you sir, are a true professional and you have one of the most impartial channels that I've come across. You never go for "low hanging fruit" or take the easy way out. I genuinely feel like you stand behind what you say. You give everybody a fair shake even when you're pissed off. From UA-camrs, viewers, devs etc That's rare and I appreciate it.
I see a lot os Asmon reactions, found DM channel via Asmon and now I am a happy subscriber to DMs, most of the times I see the Asmon reaction and then proceed to the original video, i think is a win-win situation!
i follow you because of asmon , and important to mention that when asmon react to someone on is live twitch he always put the link of the video and ask people to give a like . also the link is in the description of his video reaction . thanks for supporting those reaction and keep it up i really enjoy your channel
I remember you DarthMicrotransaction form Galaxy of Heroes, happy u finally made it on UA-cam. I find many channels because of Asmongold reactions n subscribed to few actually
Beautifully said. I love how people that don't like asmon, try SO HARD to get under his skin. But it will NEVER happen. He just doesn't give a shit about what other people think of him, and that's just awesome. Love both you and asmon's content. Keep it going
100% agree with this. I have found many CC’s from Asmon’s channel. I actually found Asmongold from you watching a reaction of his about one of your DI videos. Of all the purely reaction CC’s he actually seems the most respectful of people. Not to mention, even if he disagrees with a person he tries still see their pov.
I remember when act man gave a shout to asmond about linking a video he reacted to. From what I remember asmond apologized and they chatted a few times on stream together. Seemed like a very respectful discussion.
Correct. Actman asked that Asmon wait 4 days before reacting to any of his videos because he felt that was best for his own monetization and Asmon had no issue with that. He's a professional.
@@WikiWeaponn1 yeah Act Man is already fairly big, but if I was a smaller channel I would want Asmon to react right away, him reacting leads to people liking or subscribing to you, maybe only a small percentage will actually do that, but even a 1% subscribe rate from his viewers would equate to a lot for a smaller channel
The video that DM is talking about was an edited video with clips of the stream mashed together to make it seem actually worse than what it was because nobody on the cesspool that is Twitter will go out of their way to look at the source material and take the cut up video at face value.
@@sprendinea Incorrect, i would have never found many creators without someone else showing bc i never knew about the content they were talking about nor did i have interest before finding said user. Your take is just factually incorrect.
Be honest here, how many of the people he reacts to have you actually subbed to? Now how many of those have you watched the content from the original source? Which are you more likely to do, watch the content from the original creator or watch Asmongold stretch it out into a 45 minute video? The vast majority of people do not sub to the creators these low effort react Andy's are reacting to. Sure, they may see a small spike in growth short term, but for Asmongold in the long term the benefits are massive. Those creators are spending loads of time and effort pushing out these videos, and this guy sits there watches it, has a few bad takes and doubles, triples, sometimes quadruples the viewership. That creator sees a short influx of subs, a fraction of a fraction of Asmongolds viewer base might I add, but they result in very little engagement in the long run. Where as Asmongold contues to farm other people and Garner more engagement because he's now become a pseudo-variety channel thanks to other people's hard work. He helps smaller creators get a few hundred bucks over a few weeks, sure, but that very quickly falls off. While he's making thousands if not more while also **maintaining** that viewership. Multiply that by the number of creators a day he's reacting to, and you begin to see a bit of an issue. It's just shitty, period.
@@ofmoosenmenI have subbed to 4 people that Asmon has reacted to at some point in time. DarthMicrotransaction TV, The Act Man, Lucy Pyre and Josh Strife Hayes. Josh Strife Hayes has said on many occasions that Asmon ramped up his viewerbase and at the time of Diablo Immortal's peak, he was constantly getting people even tune in to his stream in order to say they were introduced via Asmon. Lucy Pyre has gotten so many people from Asmon turn up tonher twitch that she actually requests that you don't turn up in her twitch chat and mention it because it happens so often. The Act Man was already pretty big but even he has mentioned that Asmons reactions have impacted his growth positively. He says that any time this topic is brought up. You speak for people that actively support him and have nothing but praise as if they are negatively impacted when in fact they receive so much growth that the notoriously small trickle from UA-cam to Twitch is not only noticeable but consistent. Its valid to criticise react content when it is used to exploit and/or does not credit or transform the original content. It is disingenuous - a bold faced lie even, to try and claim that the growth they receive is short lived when it is so clearly evident to anyone that spends any time in the communities of those he reacts to, that it has had an impact. The creators themselves say so. You trying to argue that the people themselves are wrong because you believe the benefits to short lived is audacious as all hell. You are clearly not a fan of Asmons or any of the creators he reacts to because the crossover in viewership both on YT and other platforms is so prevalent that itd unmissable. In short, from my experience as someone who has absolutely been introduced to creators I would have otherwise not seen, who is in the communities you try to claim aren't affected much and see what you are attempting to dismis or downplay, you're full of baseless assumptions, accusation, and shit, in an attempt to seem more factual than you actually are. All the best.
I’m here and subbed bc of the reactions he does on Twitch. They allow me to find smaller channels like yours that have creators that haven’t grown yet who make quality content and who’s ideas I agree with without me having to deal with UA-cam’s algorithm for an hour in search of new content.
I feel like they are kind of digital debates. What would be cooler to see is a collaborative effort where there is banter with the creator of what he wants to react to. That way it's a two-way conversation.
If a creator ever wants to do that all they have to do is drop by chat and let Asom know that they created the video and he'll pull them into discord chat in a heartbeat. Then they'll benefit even more because they'll likely gain hundreds of subscribers instantly the moment the call ends. Asmon always does a CTA for the video creator
For what I see, he respect every single creator he do a reaction! Always give credit, asks his followers to follow and like the original videos, and i saw a few times he asking ppl to not be an asshole to the creators he reacts!
What a stupid statement. The creator obviously earns nothing from that, only the sponsors. Creators actually lose money because they lose viewers to Asmon using their content.
@@serghonest9 Yeah, this would be the problem, people watching Asmon's reaction instead of the original video, it's fine for DM since he actually seems to have benefited from it, but at a certain point it can go the other way. I don't care though, I'm not a content creator, but I can see why some could have a problem with it, and some don't.
@@Alleyezonjimz Asmon has confused so many people to think that "not caring" is an argument. If anyone cares or doesn't care is irrelevant when we're talking facts. And the fact is, OP's comment is stupid af.
@@Alleyezonjimz Creators think that the people would have watched the original video if Asmon didn't react to it but the reality is people care more about watching the video through Asmon than they care about the actual video. If asmon doesn't upload said react video people are not watching the original video either.
Man. I've seen you a few times in Asmon's videos like so many others but damn. I have such a large amount of respect for you. You tell it how it is, whilst also being very cordial. I have zero interest in Diablo but I think I will definitely stick around to hear your takes on things.
Appreciate the insight from the perspective of a content creator being reacted to. Asmon is how I found your channel and I likely would be missing out on a bunch of really enjoyable content if I hadn't come across channels like yours from his reacts.
This needs more likes. This is part of the problem with society these days. Everyone is so concerned with everyone else's opinions that they lose sight of what they enjoy.
I found you Emiru and tectone from asmon and the funny thing is I started watching him while in the army cause I saw him in a summer PT shirt and thought he was a veteran gamer best mistake I ever made in the barracks! Lol I’ve enjoyed your content and his! I hope you continue to upload dude! I like watching your original then his reaction
Found this channel from asmons channel This is a great channel, so glad that happened. And love how asmon takes 1 minute video and turns it into 10 hour reaction video
Asmon consistently puts more content into his reactions than the original videos. He is an example of what reactions should be. He doesn't even skip their sponsors like most do. "in the corner shaking his head" is just a blatant lie.
everyone knows what that tweet really was. The dude hates one of asmons political positions and is using this as the facade to attack him because their own views don't hold up to scrutiny.
I agree, people just don't agree with his takes and get upset. He puts a lot of light onto topics. And always doubles the amount of content into a reactions MOST times
Really respect your perspective on this and your content in general, and similar to many in the comments I discovered you because of Asmongold reacting to you.
I see Asmon as a news channel nowadays. If the topic interests me, I'll go and see the video on it's home channel. He always adds the source in a visible manner, you don't even need to click on "show more"
To me there's a very big difference between big creators reacting to content without providing the source of said content, and then reacting and making very clear WHO they are reacting to, so the viewer can easily find either the video or the creator. The latter being the one that respects the artist they react to.
@@yourconscience.6697 Its not that black and white and you know it. Sure, if its video that already has a reach and dont benefit much from being reacted to, then i see the point, but smaller creators have become bigger due to the react meta and thus made a proper career out of content creation.. simply due to being reacted to. The only react channels i have a real problem with, are the ones that simply watch the video and nods their head while also not providing the source of the content they are reacting to. Also your point "You are still only reacting" is not feasible in all cases. "Good" reaction videos are the ones in which the person reacts to a video that is somewhat relevant to them from which they can extend the talk by adding their own informed opinions etc. Like Asmongold usually do. On the flipside you have people like SSSniperwolf.
Well spoken. Like many others here I discovered your video through Asmons reacts and like you said he always links the content so I came by and dropped a like but stuck around for your content as well.
Discovered DM via Asmongold, as well as a handful of other creators. Sure the initial video was an Asmon, but now I watch both the live content as well as the reaction content.
I believe the comparison was made regarding the talking about AI using other people creation as basis to a new product without the consent of the owner (and Asmon fallacy about if it's public anyone can use it) and how he works which it seems to be alike (usually most that does reaction just do it and leave a contact email for the owner reach out if they want to be removed on the description + the original link). On that for AI training purpose, the data must be bought/have direct consent of the owner before usage, USA usually have shitty laws that don't care about privacy or user data and on some level he seems to think that the standard just because murica/gicachad/whateverTheMemeIs.
Most of the terms of service I bothered reading in social media signups specifically state that any images or content you upload to the platform is the platforms to use, usually citing marketing purposes. Besides, by having any sort of feed, you were already agreeing for the platform to redistribute that content. It sure would be great if everyone respected copyright properly, but we're all tacitly agreeing to forfeit privacy and distributive control by using these platforms.
@@HolographicThoughts yeah but countries like Brazil and most of Europe, the ToS doesn't matter, it's what the law states and we have a few that protects the owner (lgpd and gpdr) the only thing close to that is the PCI for credit card that USA has. Usually (meta for example ) would rather pay a fee (billions even) than follow the law.

TLDW: As long as Asmond waits until the origonal video has gained 90% of its views then it should be ok for him to react. usually 4days-7days later
Big streamers such as Asmongold reacting to smaller channels is free publicity.

Right? And he is constantly pausing, discussing points, etc. He's following Fair Use pretty strongly. He isn't 'stealing' work, he's basically doing journalism.
100% !
He steals videos. He's no different from those "reactors" like that tyrone dude.
Asmon has been a content leech for ages, feel free to check my comments on many of his videos calling him out.
Stop giving that failed WoW scrub his attention.
@@Artimidorus Asmongolld, literally more of a journalist than 99% of "journalists" in the MSM.
Asmon also respects the source’s sponsors. Asmon lets the original channel’s play their advertisements through and doesn’t skip. That shows a respect.
Only the sponsors win in that situation. The viewers lose having to watch it when it can be skipped
@@rumchata6569 it still shows his integrity and respect to the channel, especially if they put an effort into that ad segment.
Either or, react stuff is still the lowest effort, bottom of the barrel 'content' anyone can do. It has its good sides and its bad sides for the person getting their content 'stolen'.
@@Syoraka So he does the absolute bare minimum that really doesn't help anyone in particular? Yeah, what a stellar guy that Asmongold is....
Reaction channels are garbage. All profits from the videos should go to the original people.
Bro, Asmon turns a 20-minute video into an hour. He literally pauses every minute or so and talks about the video. You don't do that if you are just "shaking your head". I've literally subscribed to and watch other creators because I found them through Asmon.
yeah bro, usually the people who start the drama and or hate on the person are losers lmao
Doesnt matter he still provides nothing. 90% of the people he uses for content don't see any return thats what you brain washed fools don't see. You see someone like DM who is successful because of Asmon but you dont see the other 90% that he just leeches off of. Ill give you an example... the classic wow hardcore channel he leeched off of EVERY SINGLE DAY his reactions got 4x the views or more and that channel got nothing out of it and is probably now dead. He quite literally sucked all the views onto his channel he also provides NOTHING to twitch he just parasitizes content like Hasanabi while making millions spreading hate and division for no reason. His streams are legit sad it's a man child who thinks he has more life experience then everyone while never leaving his chair for 30 years while his brain dead followers praise him like some sort of cult of personality.

well said:)
he's bad at WOW too but he's mid 30's now you start losing video game dexterity@@rigormortis3219
Never once have I seen him skip someones video when there was an add and he always credits authors.
right? Asmons reactions are like template of "how to react properly". He doesnt skip credits, ads, he comments on videos, he adds valid points and criticisms...
This. And he usually likes the video and to your point, shares a link for people to go find that person and subscribe or comment, boosting their presence.
@
The uploads other peoples videos with him shaking his head in the corner is something only a person who never watched an asmongold reaction would say. Dude makes a 20 minute video of 4 minute ones, with him talking most of it.
True
@@firefox30570 Cant forget how much he pauses to try to predict what the person in the video is about to say haha
Social media is so weird because it makes us care so much about what strangers think. People we will never meet, people we don’t know, strangers have so much say in our lives when we let them.
Its so bad for mental health but we are addicted. I like the saying that "Strangers opinions of you is none of your business"
Absolutely! There is btw a great music video about this from Nightwish called Noise that you might want to check out
Yea, you're not wrong, but you could make the same argument for other things; world leaders, celebrities, historical figures and especially religious figures. It is certainly faster and easier now to obtain news, even when they shouldn't share it (false or morally wrong), but there has always been influencers of some kind, even centuries ago.
Speak for yourself really. I laugh my ass off when people react and create drama of others strangers and no bodies and pretending as if the world is ending. Fucking who care and why should I care if Asmon or anyone or any drama happened in fucking social media..
@@Velshin1986 Your comment speaks otherwise
I will say that what I notice a lot for Asmongold reacting to people is that a lot of the people he reacts to, their channels start to blow up at least a bit after Asmongold watches them. He makes a point of sending his audience to the channels he's watching, especially if they're smaller channels. The amount of really small channels that suddenly shoot up in viewers because Asmongold was their gateway to discovering them is notable.
True
I'll be rewatching the 45-minute version of this video tmw😂
Here's hoping that Asmongold makes a react video of this with him just shaking his head yes in the corner!
only video he reacted by not talking and modifying the video that way, was first two Rav's WoW videos. He just laughed there, or said that video is good. BUT, Rav then reuploaded his "nonreaction" to his own channel, like a gigachad.
Probably a 45 minute long reaction
I'd love this 😂
This would be hilarious
Reaction to reaction to reaction videos are always gold. 🤣
It's a refreshing change of pace to hear someone speak calmly and rationally. I didn't know who you were before asmon gold and now after hearing this you've earned yourself a subscriber.

Ive watched a Asmon reaction where he let the other persons advertisement play in full, on his own video just so they could get the credit, mans solid in my book.
he does that everytime..he doest take subs, or have ads play on his channel either. dude is straight up legit
This should get upvoted more. You can dislike Asmon's personality, that is fair game. But the amount of times I've seen Asmon do something like this shows that people who attack his content do so much more often out of personal reasons and not professional ones.
@@SnakeEater503 What do you mean he doesn't take subs? You can't mean that he doesn't allow people to suscribe to his Twitch because there's a subscription button on there.......not sure what you're saying by that.

@@pepperonipony1751 i can already picture it.
*Shaking his head, up and down*. ''True, TRUE''
I feel that both you and Asmon conduct fair conversations that leaves the door open for informed push-back. I found your channel through his, and just subbed now. Keep it up!
I would have never found your channel if it wasnt for asmon´s reaction video. And we can see it time and time again, asmon reacting to somebody is usually great boost to their viewer numbers and careers as whole (thats how his "daughter" got recognized :D)
nothing annoys me like strangers getting offended on your behalf
Most of the political drama in this country stems from precisely that.
Something a lot of people don't mention or flat out ignore about Asmongold reaction videos....he ALWAYS plays other content creator's sponsorship videos, helping the other creator make money. He doesn't have to do that, and other people skip over that. How many other UA-camrs have been discovered because of him reacting? He does a lot of good by doing this ..
asmon is still a vulture. but to be honest if i was in his position i would probably do the same
@@ekio3572 not really. Act man approved of his reactions so he continued doing it for some time. After act man made a video about react content, including asmon, he expressed how he kinda changed his mind and would not want his videos to be reacted to if possible. So Asmon stopped, not one act man video reaction since. All creators have to do to make him stop is tell him to stop and he will, yet no one outside of act man stops him.
You know why? Because it's beneficial to them at their size. Act man's channel has grown a decent size so maybe the reactions take views away from him instead of add, but smaller youtubers have no shot of getting the views they are getting if not for Asmon reacting to them. You can't deny the fact that he brings views to smaller channels that would never, in 100 years, get that amount of views, and they know it.
Some even openly bait him to watch their videos by making him an object of the video, i.e. the recent fan art made of asmon, or the dude who made a soulslike with asmon as a character. How can you see this and still think he's a vulture for these people when they're the ones trying to get his attention so he can react to them?
Thats a great point. I noticed that a few weeks ago. Pretty cool.
You don't get money from someone else watching your sponsorship deals. Deals usually go %per 1 000 + affiliate link clicks. Nobody buying a product would go from Asmons' video to the other guys video, click the link and buy through that link.
I've seen so many of your videos reacted to I felt like I was subbed 😅 but that it's great to see you natively and I've happily subbed. Love your content, love your attitude and candor, see you in my notifications 👊
He might use others videos but in the same alot of the peoples videos that get used end up gaining a follower in a lot of cases. ie i started following you thru him and ive enjoyed your videos, your fair points of view, your reactions since. keep on keeping on my dude!
cannot wait for the 4 hour reaction to this
It it wasn’t for Asmond, I would have never seen your videos.
im the other way round only heard of asmongold from DM. think i might have heard his name before from another streamer but thats it
@@hugh.g.rection5906 same here. and after watching a couple of asmon's videos i was baffled why that man has so many subscribers.
I don't even watch Diablo IV gameplay. I am interested in the direction gaming is taking and what Asmon/others got to say about it. I wouldn't have found this video or this channel at all if he hadn't reacted to it either.
exactfuckingly!
how on earth do you know that? Have you lived in a parallel universe where Asmon doesn't react to him?
and also, the Act Man asked him to react to his videos later, so the views on his videos would not dropp off that drasticly after the release and asmon did. you can see the data in Act Mans reacto content Video.
From my pov the impact of Asmongold depend if the video itself (and its creator). For some channels is beneficial to be reacted soon, for some - later. Not sure why, probably various reasons aka cant point only one and say - thats the source of it.
I remember when direct video responses to other videos was a built in feature of UA-cam. Good times.
That tweet is the epitome of "Tell me you've never watched an Asmongold video without telling me you've never watched an Asmongold video." Asmon is the *last* person I'd ever expect to 'sit in the corner shaking his head' without talking for 15 minutes after only a minute of the video he's reacting to lmao.
I have to wonder if they're confusing Asmongold with Xqc. I don't typically consume a lot of reaction stuff, but anything I've seen of Asmongold, the dude never shuts up about the video he's watching. Lol And I don't mean that in a negative way. But even then, he has the decency to pause when he starts talking with his chat, which allows the separation and transformation via a discussion with his chat, or making jokes with his chat.
Idk, I don't really watch him, but this whole story got me curious to see his reaction stuff first-hand, and from what I see, he's among a small group of reactors you could lodge the "reaction content lazy" accusation at, and it doesn't really stick all that well.
Classic Twitter outrage andies crying about fucking nothing because they clearly don't have enough REAL problems of their own
Agreed, xqc is one of the "egregious abusers" of the reaction meta. It's gotten a lot worse that even his chat doesn't let him skip sponsorships or any of that stuff without annoying him for 3 days.
Exactly, i cant even finish half of asmond videos because he goes into 15 min long rant every 10 seconds of the original video, its maddening.
@@DeusGaming-xh1nl xqc and hasan are the worst in this regard, xqc cuz he doesn't understand half the stuff thats going on and doesn't add anything. Hasan cuz half the time he eats or just leaves the room and lets the damn video run lol.
Also Asmon also normally links the original video and tells his watches to go like the orginal vidoes.
which means he knows he doing something wrong. he could just not show the video and tell his viewers to go watch it in sync with him like most people who actually say they care do. Asmon talks out of one side of his mouth, and then does what ever is convenient and easy because hes naturally that lazy with the other. 99% of people NEVER go to the original video to watch it after their favorite streamer already reacted to it. As a matter of fact, they are more likely to go back to the reactor and give them ANOTHER view instead of the original. When you realize Asmon is just a lazy guy whose gonna take the easiest route to content creation possible, his content and stances on said content make alot more sense.
@@georgealvarez1195 Its easy, either he reacts and you get cloud and views. Even if its just 1%, its more than you would have gotten if he not reacted.
No one watches react videos for the original content creator. People wanna watch Asmon reacting. If he is not reacting people would not know you at all.
Cry me a river@@georgealvarez1195
@sdHansy he's not taking any views, because you wouldn't have the views if you weren't signal boosted by Asmongold in the first place.
@@georgealvarez1195 And then he does that and I bet you say "yeah but he didn't give it 15 minutes to make sure the viewers clicked the link" or some other bs. As far as react content goes asmon's not the kind of streamer that made his bread on it and is just a way to unwind a bit from the monotony of gaming. But I guarantee you none of those reactions gave him more viewership than him playing wow or monhun or whatever he streams. And your argument's so fcking braindead I could staple something similar to every content creator, since they're all streaming videogames made by others to gain views or some other stupid ass theorem where they benefit from the work of others and they're lazy. Streaming is basically the viewer seeing the streamer experiencing content made by others no matter which content it is, so unless you hate streamers as a whole this argument is pointless.
Reactions definitely can benefit people. I found this channel and several others watching his reactions. He even says after most videos something like “this is a good video, check out this channel” or something of the sort.
I remember when nintendo tried to sue people reacting to and playing their games or content with the whole internet up in arms complaining about fair use and the reactions giving nintendo more exposure anyway. UA-camrs getting upset over reactions to reactions is somehow even goofier.
"best version of reactions on youtube" exactly how i feel for years on watching his videos
The Shiniest turd
Reaction videos are cancer.
Eh asmon is prob the best as far as adding actual discussion to the vids but i don't think its "transformative" or entertaining, far from the best.
The best reaction content is jontron/old H3H3 style where they transform a reaction to a video/concept into an entirely unique video with fun little skits and asides.
@@motherpigeon1582just don’t watch them then, simple
@@curtisseime8881 No sir, they are taking a spot of something that could have a value and they are allowing people to not have an input so sadly ignoring means allowing which is creating the cancer.
I found you from Asmongold reacting to your Diablo 4 videos. You seemed really reasonable and so I watched other videos and subbed. Same with other channels as well, as long as the channel he is reacting to makes more videos semi-regularly there is a reason for me to sub to them.
Same, I don’t even play D4 lol. I still watch darth
Started following back in the Diablo 4 days. Stayed for your observations in gaming and media culture. Werk. You’re awesome.
I found out that you had transitioned to D4 content through Asmon and that's what got me watching you again (started in Raid:SL days). Was stoked you were doing well in D4 because you were one of the best Raid CCs. I don't even play D4 btw, I prefer other games and enjoy POE sometimes.
I wouldn't say that Asmon stretches the videos per se. In my mind, that implies he adds fluff to skirt around what is transformative. He adds to the conversation, gives his opinions and debates with his chat. If that isn't transformative, I don't know what is.
I'd say he stretches videos, but it's authentic... he's probably not consciously attempting to drag things out, it's just a natural result of the way he reacts. He gets on his pedestal and yaps away, and it can be repetitive and redundant at times, sometimes just saying the same thing as the video, but in different words... or unnecessarily coming up with metaphors for things that the video says, that were already as clear as day lol.
The dude can talk.
@@EatinPastedude has a degree in yapping
@@DeusGaming-xh1nl What we call, a specialist in Yappanese. A student of the art.
Yep he has almost always relevant and detailed arguments to make towards or against the videos being watched. Neither are forced or drawn out that I have ever seen. I think Asmongold understands instinctively that being absolutely authentic is the most valuable currency on UA-cam. & as such he is just 99% himself.
As lazy as I feel the strategy is, I've never felt that Asmon is ever rude or disrespectful of people he's reacting to. Most of the time when a react hits my feed, I go out of my way to click on both his vid and the original creator. Big reason I found and subbed to this channel.
Same! Asmon genuinely encourages people to sub to the people he reacts to. And he’s always respectful, he reacted to Hazel once and people were being mean about her look he called them out and banned someone I think
hell a lot of the times it feels like it but he even takes ppl in his comments and gives them the floor to make their argument, he does not rly jsut flat out ban somneone who disagrees with him but will literally stop and specifically pick them out and say "go ahead state ue argument, im listening" and actually have a general disagreement conversation thats not just throwing shit at eachothers opinion for being "wrong"
He even watch the ads from the creators if he likes the video. Great example is Internet Historian (whom we all love)
Subbing and clicking on an original video is pointless. You need to WATCH the original video, otherwise it tells the algorithm that people click it but don’t like it because the watch time ends up in the toilet
Asmon reacted to one of my youtube videos and while he wasn’t disrespectful, I got hundreds of hate comments from his followers. Many people said Id be better off dead just because I said I had some unfavorable opinions towards Elden ring. In that moment my perspective completely changed towards Asmongold and his effect towards other content creators.
I discovered you through him and decided to subscribe and have watched quite a few of your videos outside of asmonds reaction content. I use reactors as a good way to find new channels and content because the latest stuff usually pops up on their channels. Glad you had this stance. You are a wholesome guy keep it up
Can’t wait for Asmons reaction of DMs reaction to his reactions 😍😭😭
I feel like in today's world, if you disagree or have a different opinion than someone else, they are told to feel like they have to hate you and disrespect you.
that's an awful lot of feelings
Same like if you not agree with lghdtv, so you hate ppl 😂
@@irfanmuafa2605this dude doesn't agree with letting people safely love who they want! hahahaha loser
Not to mention, fans want to see their favorite streamer or someone who has strong opinions, react to other content, some people send donations to see them react to a specific content.
I got to know you (and many other creators) through Asmon's reactions. I follow/subbed you since then and enjoy your content.
I think reacting is good, certainly the way Asmon does - he give his opinion, links the video and tags when possible.
Found you through an Asmon reaction video, now am subbed and watch alot of your content.
Like I said somewhere else, whole lot of copyright lawyers these last few days. Consumer outrage is exhausting. Found your channel through his videos, glad I did.
To add on, I actually enjoy the back and forth he does a lot of the time. It's a way to create conversation at a person's own pace without time constraints or having to occupy another person's time when they might not otherwise. It's great when used properly
Im a long-time fan of this channel for "takes" like this.
DM, you sir, are a true professional and you have one of the most impartial channels that I've come across.
You never go for "low hanging fruit" or take the easy way out. I genuinely feel like you stand behind what you say.
You give everybody a fair shake even when you're pissed off. From UA-camrs, viewers, devs etc
That's rare and I appreciate it.
fair response. would be nice if UA-cam could do some shared ad revenue model for reaction content though.
I see a lot os Asmon reactions, found DM channel via Asmon and now I am a happy subscriber to DMs, most of the times I see the Asmon reaction and then proceed to the original video, i think is a win-win situation!
i follow you because of asmon , and important to mention that when asmon react to someone on is live twitch he always put the link of the video and ask people to give a like . also the link is in the description of his video reaction . thanks for supporting those reaction and keep it up i really enjoy your channel
Asmon definitely doesnt just shake his head in the corner.
He also wiggles his eyebrows from time to time. 😂
I found you through baldman and glad i did you cover some good stuff.
I remember you DarthMicrotransaction form Galaxy of Heroes, happy u finally made it on UA-cam. I find many channels because of Asmongold reactions n subscribed to few actually
I don’t think I’ve watched a video of Asmon adding discussion to someone else’s video and haven’t come out with a more open mind.
Beautifully said.
I love how people that don't like asmon, try SO HARD to get under his skin. But it will NEVER happen. He just doesn't give a shit about what other people think of him, and that's just awesome.
Love both you and asmon's content. Keep it going
You’re my go to channel for Diablo content and that’s bc I saw a video of him reacting to a D4 video you made
100% agree with this. I have found many CC’s from Asmon’s channel. I actually found Asmongold from you watching a reaction of his about one of your DI videos. Of all the purely reaction CC’s he actually seems the most respectful of people. Not to mention, even if he disagrees with a person he tries still see their pov.
I remember when act man gave a shout to asmond about linking a video he reacted to. From what I remember asmond apologized and they chatted a few times on stream together. Seemed like a very respectful discussion.
Correct. Actman asked that Asmon wait 4 days before reacting to any of his videos because he felt that was best for his own monetization and Asmon had no issue with that. He's a professional.
@@WikiWeaponn1 yeah Act Man is already fairly big, but if I was a smaller channel I would want Asmon to react right away, him reacting leads to people liking or subscribing to you, maybe only a small percentage will actually do that, but even a 1% subscribe rate from his viewers would equate to a lot for a smaller channel
The video that DM is talking about was an edited video with clips of the stream mashed together to make it seem actually worse than what it was because nobody on the cesspool that is Twitter will go out of their way to look at the source material and take the cut up video at face value.
Actually true
Coming from Asmond Chanel now you have a new sub
Love the take man and love your content. I am glad you blew up! I appreciate seeing someone on UA-cam use logic.
I have discovered so many creators through Asmon that I wouldn’t have found organically
you would have found them or someone else. Content leech isn't helping overall.
@@sprendinea Incorrect, i would have never found many creators without someone else showing bc i never knew about the content they were talking about nor did i have interest before finding said user. Your take is just factually incorrect.
Be honest here, how many of the people he reacts to have you actually subbed to? Now how many of those have you watched the content from the original source? Which are you more likely to do, watch the content from the original creator or watch Asmongold stretch it out into a 45 minute video?
The vast majority of people do not sub to the creators these low effort react Andy's are reacting to. Sure, they may see a small spike in growth short term, but for Asmongold in the long term the benefits are massive.
Those creators are spending loads of time and effort pushing out these videos, and this guy sits there watches it, has a few bad takes and doubles, triples, sometimes quadruples the viewership. That creator sees a short influx of subs, a fraction of a fraction of Asmongolds viewer base might I add, but they result in very little engagement in the long run. Where as Asmongold contues to farm other people and Garner more engagement because he's now become a pseudo-variety channel thanks to other people's hard work.
He helps smaller creators get a few hundred bucks over a few weeks, sure, but that very quickly falls off. While he's making thousands if not more while also **maintaining** that viewership. Multiply that by the number of creators a day he's reacting to, and you begin to see a bit of an issue. It's just shitty, period.
@@ofmoosenmenI have subbed to 4 people that Asmon has reacted to at some point in time. DarthMicrotransaction TV, The Act Man, Lucy Pyre and Josh Strife Hayes.
Josh Strife Hayes has said on many occasions that Asmon ramped up his viewerbase and at the time of Diablo Immortal's peak, he was constantly getting people even tune in to his stream in order to say they were introduced via Asmon.
Lucy Pyre has gotten so many people from Asmon turn up tonher twitch that she actually requests that you don't turn up in her twitch chat and mention it because it happens so often.
The Act Man was already pretty big but even he has mentioned that Asmons reactions have impacted his growth positively. He says that any time this topic is brought up.
You speak for people that actively support him and have nothing but praise as if they are negatively impacted when in fact they receive so much growth that the notoriously small trickle from UA-cam to Twitch is not only noticeable but consistent.
Its valid to criticise react content when it is used to exploit and/or does not credit or transform the original content.
It is disingenuous - a bold faced lie even, to try and claim that the growth they receive is short lived when it is so clearly evident to anyone that spends any time in the communities of those he reacts to, that it has had an impact. The creators themselves say so.
You trying to argue that the people themselves are wrong because you believe the benefits to short lived is audacious as all hell.
You are clearly not a fan of Asmons or any of the creators he reacts to because the crossover in viewership both on YT and other platforms is so prevalent that itd unmissable.
In short, from my experience as someone who has absolutely been introduced to creators I would have otherwise not seen, who is in the communities you try to claim aren't affected much and see what you are attempting to dismis or downplay, you're full of baseless assumptions, accusation, and shit, in an attempt to seem more factual than you actually are.
All the best.
You're 100% lying here. Asmon only reacts to viral/relevant stuff, so you would have found out anyways.
Found you thru asmon love you both ❤️
I’m here and subbed bc of the reactions he does on Twitch. They allow me to find smaller channels like yours that have creators that haven’t grown yet who make quality content and who’s ideas I agree with without me having to deal with UA-cam’s algorithm for an hour in search of new content.
I feel like they are kind of digital debates. What would be cooler to see is a collaborative effort where there is banter with the creator of what he wants to react to. That way it's a two-way conversation.
If a creator ever wants to do that all they have to do is drop by chat and let Asom know that they created the video and he'll pull them into discord chat in a heartbeat. Then they'll benefit even more because they'll likely gain hundreds of subscribers instantly the moment the call ends. Asmon always does a CTA for the video creator
For what I see, he respect every single creator he do a reaction! Always give credit, asks his followers to follow and like the original videos, and i saw a few times he asking ppl to not be an asshole to the creators he reacts!
"He steals their content but pays respect leaving a like".
@@serghonest9 There is nothing being stolen
@@tanis016 Right, he just borrows the full videos without asking for permission but leaves a like to pay respects.
He even plays any ads the creator added to their videos, thats always impressed me.

What a stupid statement. The creator obviously earns nothing from that, only the sponsors. Creators actually lose money because they lose viewers to Asmon using their content.
@@serghonest9 Yeah, this would be the problem, people watching Asmon's reaction instead of the original video, it's fine for DM since he actually seems to have benefited from it, but at a certain point it can go the other way.
I don't care though, I'm not a content creator, but I can see why some could have a problem with it, and some don't.
@@Alleyezonjimz Asmon has confused so many people to think that "not caring" is an argument. If anyone cares or doesn't care is irrelevant when we're talking facts. And the fact is, OP's comment is stupid af.
@@Alleyezonjimz Creators think that the people would have watched the original video if Asmon didn't react to it but the reality is people care more about watching the video through Asmon than they care about the actual video. If asmon doesn't upload said react video people are not watching the original video either.
this was an incredibly well put together position on this whole thing. very direct and to the point. very succinct. thank you.
Good take DM, gotta look out for eachother
I never heard of you until Asmongold reacted to one of your Diablo 4 videos. Now I'm a subscriber, and I don't even play Diablo 4 anymore.
Identical situation to me.
This is true but I only watch DM videos occasionally, probably less than the reactions.

Winter literally just started 5 weeks ago. It's Winter until March 19th.
Winter is two more months....
Man. I've seen you a few times in Asmon's videos like so many others but damn.
I have such a large amount of respect for you. You tell it how it is, whilst also being very cordial.
I have zero interest in Diablo but I think I will definitely stick around to hear your takes on things.
Appreciate the insight from the perspective of a content creator being reacted to. Asmon is how I found your channel and I likely would be missing out on a bunch of really enjoyable content if I hadn't come across channels like yours from his reacts.
At least Asmon links the video he’s reacting to in his description.
At this point I feel like just ignoring these people and just enjoy what I enjoy because someone will always hate what you enjoy.
This needs more likes. This is part of the problem with society these days. Everyone is so concerned with everyone else's opinions that they lose sight of what they enjoy.
I like how the Christmas tree is still up
I found you Emiru and tectone from asmon and the funny thing is I started watching him while in the army cause I saw him in a summer PT shirt and thought he was a veteran gamer best mistake I ever made in the barracks! Lol I’ve enjoyed your content and his! I hope you continue to upload dude! I like watching your original then his reaction
Asmingolds reaction vids is how I discovered you dude
i definitely found your channel from an asmongold reaction video.
same.
Reactions are great for the channel being reacted to. I often discover content through Asmon and subsequently sub to them.
Found this channel from asmons channel
This is a great channel, so glad that happened.
And love how asmon takes 1 minute video and turns it into 10 hour reaction video
Asmon consistently puts more content into his reactions than the original videos. He is an example of what reactions should be. He doesn't even skip their sponsors like most do. "in the corner shaking his head" is just a blatant lie.
everyone knows what that tweet really was. The dude hates one of asmons political positions and is using this as the facade to attack him because their own views don't hold up to scrutiny.
I agree, people just don't agree with his takes and get upset. He puts a lot of light onto topics. And always doubles the amount of content into a reactions MOST times
I wouldn't even take the OP seriously here. It's clear he's just talking shit and has never actually watched an Asmongold video.
They want to hate him so hard lmao
To quote Asmon “Haters gonna hate” “It is what it is” 😂
Really respect your perspective on this and your content in general, and similar to many in the comments I discovered you because of Asmongold reacting to you.
I found you from Asmon reacting to you and never would have found you otherwise, I now watch you more often but enjoy both of you.
I look forward to the 2 hour reaction to this 5 minute video.
He never cut clip or editied anyones words while 'reacting' ideals aside thats respect regardless of his opinions
Hey man, love your conten the only way I found you was because of Asmon keep up the great work
I see Asmon as a news channel nowadays.
If the topic interests me, I'll go and see the video on it's home channel.
He always adds the source in a visible manner, you don't even need to click on "show more"
To me there's a very big difference between big creators reacting to content without providing the source of said content, and then reacting and making very clear WHO they are reacting to, so the viewer can easily find either the video or the creator. The latter being the one that respects the artist they react to.
@@yourconscience.6697 Its not that black and white and you know it. Sure, if its video that already has a reach and dont benefit much from being reacted to, then i see the point, but smaller creators have become bigger due to the react meta and thus made a proper career out of content creation.. simply due to being reacted to.
The only react channels i have a real problem with, are the ones that simply watch the video and nods their head while also not providing the source of the content they are reacting to.
Also your point "You are still only reacting" is not feasible in all cases. "Good" reaction videos are the ones in which the person reacts to a video that is somewhat relevant to them from which they can extend the talk by adding their own informed opinions etc. Like Asmongold usually do. On the flipside you have people like SSSniperwolf.
@@yourconscience.6697pr is 99% better than what revenue would give in your example. Why don't you produce facts instead of giving feelings as facts.
I started following you early in your D4 videos and remember when asmon started reacting to your channel. Was hype for you when that happened
Im reacting to that Christmas tree in the background in February 😂😂😂 your my guy tho ill allow it.
Asmongold reacting to your Diablo videos brought me to your channel, many other channel.
are we just going to brush off the fact that darth just called it "the youtube"
yes.
Asmon needs to react to this to complete the total circle ⭕️
Well spoken. Like many others here I discovered your video through Asmons reacts and like you said he always links the content so I came by and dropped a like but stuck around for your content as well.
Followed you from Raid days Darth. Glad for all your success.
I found you from asmongold reacts, those reaction videos help me find golden content creators that I care about like you DM.
Same here.
Discovered DM via Asmongold, as well as a handful of other creators. Sure the initial video was an Asmon, but now I watch both the live content as well as the reaction content.
Same here. Asmon is doing a great service, he even says stuff like "This person needs more subs everybodoy sub to them if you like this content."
I came to know your channel because of Asmon, and then I subbed and now I watch both
I think the bigger reactors if they do a react video ethically and correctly just provide exposure for who they react to it’s a win win
I believe the comparison was made regarding the talking about AI using other people creation as basis to a new product without the consent of the owner (and Asmon fallacy about if it's public anyone can use it) and how he works which it seems to be alike (usually most that does reaction just do it and leave a contact email for the owner reach out if they want to be removed on the description + the original link).
On that for AI training purpose, the data must be bought/have direct consent of the owner before usage, USA usually have shitty laws that don't care about privacy or user data and on some level he seems to think that the standard just because murica/gicachad/whateverTheMemeIs.
Most of the terms of service I bothered reading in social media signups specifically state that any images or content you upload to the platform is the platforms to use, usually citing marketing purposes. Besides, by having any sort of feed, you were already agreeing for the platform to redistribute that content.
It sure would be great if everyone respected copyright properly, but we're all tacitly agreeing to forfeit privacy and distributive control by using these platforms.
@@HolographicThoughts yeah but countries like Brazil and most of Europe, the ToS doesn't matter, it's what the law states and we have a few that protects the owner (lgpd and gpdr) the only thing close to that is the PCI for credit card that USA has. Usually (meta for example ) would rather pay a fee (billions even) than follow the law.
