Dunno, I've seen like a few accidental clips which included that XQC guy and, so far, he just seems to me like the Zoomer version of some regular centrist dude. It's just that with the generations the "I just want to grill" turned into "Whatever, dude, I just want to watch some random shit on the Internet (while it's streamed to thousands of people)". I don't really see the appeal of actually watching such a guy for hours, but considering how many other much worse people you could be watching instead, this seems like a decently respectable position to me.
@@aopt471 I disagree. He is a good FPS player, but still quite simple minded. White matter of the brain is the stuff that connects everything together, so my joke was that him having a lot of it would make him have some great reaction times, but having no gray matter(responsible of the heavier "calculations") would make him, well him.
To me it's the pauses. EFAP pauses so often you can forget the scene they paused on, Hasan leaves without pausing the video to hurry his mom with making his chicken nuggers
Except, unless EFAP tangents off the original point, their commentary is still relevant to the scene they’re commenting on and therefore you’d still contextually remember what they’re talking about (Also if you wanted to you could literally just watch what they’re reacting to before watching their coverage if it bothered you that much)
@@ImortalZeus13 doesn't bother me at all. I'm watching them for the commentary, not for what they react to. While Hasan and others like him just use other's content for free money.
The only reaction videos I watch are anime reaction mashups of multiple creators Mainly because I want too see what others think about said episode and for example the Luffy gear 5 hype
Intuitively it feels like there are just too many full time amateur content creators. If you struggle to find inspiration to make quality content you should probably stop oversaturating the platform.
Why bother making good stuff when you can just steal and get away with it? Hasan become a millionaire doing the bare minimum, and even that is mostly useless.
How do you tell you aren't an NPC. You can admit when your opponent makes a good point and understands a subject even if you don't like his take on other things.
Given how much time he spends wandering off to get chicken tendies, you could argue the power behind the throne on Hasans reaction content is his fucking chair.
this all proves that a huge number of streamers: 1. Think they're entitled 2. Struggle to be entertaining to their own audience. it really does solidify the idea that a lot of streamer subs/watchers are just lonely people who want to do everything with their streamers, like watching UA-cam.
"If you're watching me on your second monitor, now is the time to pause Baldur's Gate and look over for a minute." You make me feel like a clown sometimes Dev
Meanwhile, I'm at the other end of that spectrum: I'll pause anything I watch if I even so much as want to respond to someone. Only one sensory input at a time, thank you very much.
The whole Jontron segment at the end of the video was interesting considering Jon had the exact inverse of what dev talked about with creators devolving into lazy content. The fact that Jon left doing easy let’s play videos to make highly produced content that required a lot of time and effort is not only commendable, but it also paid off for him in the long run since he’s arguably bigger than ever. Another reason he’s one of the UA-cam GOATs in my opinion.
I feel bad for creators like Lemmino. Dude uploads once a blue moon, but his content is the some of the highest quality on the platform. But, his content is ALWAYS stolen by react channels that get way more views than his original video. I only wish he would call these people out or even press charges for content violations.
@@just_a_turtle_chad Never said it did. I enjoy react content. Theres an obvious difference between quality react content and trash tier react content. X and Hasan just tend to lean towards the latter. Seethe harder bot.
@@just_a_turtle_chad Spend a long time and much effort creating something, then enter little old me, ctrl+c ctrl+v your entire content, add my 2 cents, boom content.
I like the way the Sword Community on youtube handles this. They always make "reply videos", where they will make a video with some of another video, and they will actually respond and add to or disagree with the video. And you get back and forths between channels going on, and it's probably great for engagement with BOTH channels. Channels like Shadiversity, Metatron, Lindybeige, and skalgrim. All awesome, wholesome, and based
Same with gun video creators. When Kentucky Ballistics had his accident on camera it created about 2 dozen reaction and counter-reaction videos dissecting the accident and discussing how to prevent similar accidents in the future. The accident was defective round exploding in a .50 rifle while KB was shooting it, BTW. Not an act of stupidity or carelessness. Just really bad ammo in a really nice gun...
The great thing about the sword community is that it’s such a practical hobby the reply videos are almost always based around a physical demonstration of why the original video is inaccurate. “This sword is rubbish it can’t do this.” - “Yes it can, watch me!” It naturally lends itself to transformative conversation, but professional Reactors just play random videos they have no insight or knowledge of, and can only say “wow guys” “that’s right” because they have not prepared anything to add to the conversation.
@@tyrannicalchocolate the sword community is awesome because it's anchored in practical objective reality. They go over theory, and then try to apply it. It's actually quite scientific a lot of the time.
I used to watch Lemmino back when his channel was called "Top Ten Memes" when I was in middle school. It's impressive to see how far he's come since then.
Yea, going through his old content is a bit of a trip. It’s like reverse hacking - you know, when a good channel gets taken over and posts shitty top 10 content to then die in obscurity because no one wants to see that shit. His, however, went from crappy top 10 content to some of the most well put together content out there with his own original music, animations, in-depth research, etc. where the videos are beyond engaging and leave you wanting more. Like two different channels in one.
@@TwoBs except for the JFK video That just hyperfocussed on a single building and ignored all extreme inconsistenties while calling everyone a conspiracy Theorist at the end
The ”harm reduction” point doesn’t make sense for another reason too. Just because one guy benefits, doesn’t mean they all will. It’s like saying because I punched you, and you met your future wife at the hospital, that it’s okay to punch people. The positive result is a _lucky_ outcome, not the explicit or even intended one. They’re pushing the positive/neutral angle as a _defence for themselves_ not as the explicit goal for the person they’re freebooting.
Hey, if I hadn't gone it college to run away from home, and if my buddy hadn't have had my apt for me to offer my buddy when he ran away from his home situation, he'd have not met his wife or had his 2 kids. My actions literally made that relationship and those kids happen, and that's crazy to think about.
@@RobertMorgan True, and that's very nice to hear - it just doesn't absolve a knowing moral actor from willingly taking the risk that only circumstance will justify their choices. If you bet someone else's money on a coinflip, you're basically doing what streamers do when they replace potential viewership, regardless of if the other party is willing to risk a major loss of face by confronting someone larger. Good to hear about the wife and kids though, hope you're all well.
There is a video of XQC complaining that his audience would spam on the chat "stop pausing" if he tries to comment. You get the audience you deserve XQC, they are low expectation, low intellectual capacity people who I theorize just open your stream to have background noice because they can't be alone with their own thoughts for once
It's funny that Johntron was talking about what ended up splitting up the original game grumps. Let's plays can be done well like Oneyplays. I watch those videos over and over just for the conversations between Chris and everyone
Ginger Prime actually broke down the numbers and reaction content does in fact hurt the content creator, especially within the first week of uploading as that is 90% of the total views. It CAN help with older content but when streamers react immediately after its uploaded it severely hinders the original video.
Something tells me xQc and Hasan especially would copyright strike their own content if people reacted to them, if they made content. Hasan will usually walk away and let the vid play and money flies in.
That’s what I thought was crazy when this initially came out The people fighting hardest to keep it don’t have the ability to create the content they consume Their idea of content is either loud noise funne, outrageous claim is outrageous, or angry/funny reaction Compare that to when shit like Xbox ahoy came out or even stuff in the vain of Jacob Geller or any of the long form game or story analysis, it’s a completely different beast It’s actually telling a story with a through line, probably with a traditional 3 part structure I doubt most streamers could also sit down and make a 10 minute analysis of a topic that interests them
Usually clowns like this take videos down when they’re copyright struck to deny further income being contested but after the damage is already done to the original content’s potential reach.
If you're wondering, most content creators don't get nearly enough of a bump in watch hours and video retention (the stats that matter) to break even with the lost views, so unless the creator says otherwise, it's safe to assume they lost money
Good. Removing money from online influencing is step one to saving the world. Remember how great the internet was when everyone was joking about fictional Internet money, how the charlie bit my finger and keyboard cat and the chocolate rain guy, they were internet trillionares, IF anyone online paid for anything, but why would you, it's online, it's free. I'm a lifetime conservative Republican capitalist, and yes, I'm saying internet Marxism is the sole way to save us.
At the very least, getting rid of ads online would save the equivalent of billions of lives each year, just through not wasting time alone. Some companies that rape us have to die, that's terrible, oh well, you can take that business to the non-rapey competition.
It's funny because UA-cam could totally lean into this and create a Watch Party stream system where streamers can curate content and give commentary on other creator's videos and the views from the stream can be share by both the streamer and the original content creator but I don't think UA-cam could be bothered to add something like that.
I mean, fuck, UA-cam even had a similar system in the early 2010s. I don't recall the name, but the person could put together a playlist and then watch and live chat with others who tuned in. It wouldn't have taken much to retool it into what you're suggesting.
That would never work because of how serving ads work. If you combine both channels, do you add twice as many ads? And what stops creators themselves from sharing their pot outside the system? Just like the music industry, whenever collaborations happen, these items are negotiated in advance.
LOL. You assume "reactors" would be willing to share revenue. Nice joke. Let's face it. Reaction videos (most of them, anyway) are often considered stolen content for a reason. Imagine working hours on a video for some clown to "react" to it, and then you get nothing while they get the benefit of views, subs and, of course, money.
There's a fine line between a commentary channel and a react channel. JonTron throwing shade at Game Grumps in an only semi-jokey way while on Game Grumps is really funny. And what's extra relevant is that apparently the Game Grumps channel has a somewhat regular segment reacting to their own videos (don't follow them any more but I remember seeing some of those in my feed from time to time).
React content is a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s kind of the closest I’ll get to enjoying music and movies I love for the first time again. I don’t get why a lot of xqc or hassan’s audience demand them not to interrupt, rather than just go to the original source
Nostalgia critic is crazy. I think he puts a lot of work in. Theres this one bit where he says. "Which Reaction Face Will I Make?" and while I can see how that bit can be done through editing. I still think he's crazy.
One reaction channel I really like is Vlogging Through History. He’s a historian who reacts to history content and adds his own points, or points out things that the creator didn’t mention, and fact checks, that sort of thing. Whenever a big history video comes out on UA-cam I go to his channel to see his point of view.
History Buffs is a great channel like that, they take a historically based film and recount the actual history it was based on, what they got right, what they got wrong, what was made up, it's excellent.
Another cool thing about his channel too is that he never makes a reaction the same day the video goes up since he want as much views to go to the original video
To me there's a pretty simple solution, which is to treat it the same way they treat movie reactions. Guys who react to movies would never be crazy enough to just show the whole thing, they either edit their reaction or tell their audience to watch the movie on their own device while listening to the audio commentary. Just link to the youtube video and tell the audience to watch along. Literally open that shit on another tab and you get the same experience while also ensuring the original creator gets views.
like 10 years ago a bunch of reacting content and youtubers were "banned" or ill seen by the comunity for being considered lazy and basically plagiarists, suddenly a few years ago the same content rose again in popularity and almost everyone is doing it again, humanity never learn and always repeat the same mistakes, but with internet that process is speed up a LOT lol
@@Sceptonicdude, you actually can. YOU might not be able to do the data. But others definitely can. UA-cam could. But they are a scumbag corporation who profits off the theft. You should learn multi variate analysis. You would be surprised what you can learn.
You know everytime Hasan wants to go on giving you Free press you should be glad bro, you have to ask him why Marvel doesn't want him to give them free press by running all of their movies while he eats ramen noodles
Funny enough; not that long ago there was a bit of a dust up between Vlogging Through History and CGP Grey; VTH is a reactor who does historical content who always stops the video now and then to give additional context or corrections to the point his videos can double in length and did a couple of Grey's. Grey opted to file a strike. No contact, no please stop, no dialogue; just instant Nuke Button. He filed a second when VTH challenged it and compared him to Hassan. Needless to say, coupled with him clamping down on who can comment, CGP Grey has lost a few subs over it.
Consent after-the-fact or saying that monetary benefit trumps consent partially misses the point, assuming the use isn't transformative. If someone can use my work without asking for permission, or just "pay" me afterwards, still shows that society doesn't respect my property rights. Why should I make content in that case?
I feel the only reason to make content is if you have something to give away to public domain. If you profit, perish. I miss old school pre Google UA-cam when it was about content rather than cash. Get 10 million views, the payment was you got 10 million more people that zero to see your views, that's worth Billions. You have to have a message worth that, and I'll watch it for free or steal it, or not at all. How the fuck did we get to where we're paying for digital content? It was never like this in the past. Knowledge needs to be free. Now, I'd happily pay for actual costs, but not for time. If UA-cam started charging creators for bandwidth they'd all be gone in a month. This video alone would cost Dev tens of thousands to host for a month. The monetizing used to be the free hosting, it was the only place.
As much as I hate to say this Asmongold is the golden standard of transformative reaction commentary. Especially his videos on anything related to World of Warcraft, Dark Souls or MMORPGs. Almost all of his videos comment sections are engaging with his talking points that he made in the video creating a discussion.
Ye as much as I dislike seeing a trending video with “streamer reacts to”, Asmongold does juuust enough to skirt by if I’m being harsh but the amount of times he says what I was thinking at that same time makes me more accepting of it Dudes smart as evidenced by the mizkif stuff
Asmond has made it part of his brand to discuss the topic he's presenting, which is transformative. He's never only been about just watching something and going "That's interesting" and then doing nothing. To put it another way, Asmod's chat doesn't get upset if he pauses the video and starts talking about it.
I've recently started watching Asmongold, and yeah, he actually does discuss - agreeing, disagreeing, adding information.... it's not as common as it should be.
Asmongold also do a great job of always emphasizing the name of the video, the name of the UA-cam channel, and always encourage it's viewer to go give it a like.
What is wild and annoying to watch is that this drama is just "People problems vs wealthy people/corporation problems", since I can promise you none of these streamers would be able keep their stream or VODs up if they're trying it with the latest Marvel films. Anime react channels tend to need heavy editing and obfuscation to keep the react gig running.
I feel like it would be a good idea for platforms to develop a "joint view" feature, wherein you can put in the link to a video you're reacting to and have the platform automatically count all views on your upload as views on the original video, and add them to that video's view count. This would obviously be a difficult thing to implement on Twitch, but it should be a simple thing for UA-cam to do.
I always like the "I can't ask permission during a stream, it's a stream" argument. It's their problem, not everyone else's. They chose the medium, it doesn't give them the right to take something they haven't worked on, without permission. None of this is difficult to understand, they're obviously just playing dumb, until the "meta" ends, like it's some sort of game. The moment some of these streamers became somewhat internet famous, any and all principles jumped out the window and made a principle shaped grave on the pavement below.
I find it adorbale how hypocritical people are when they call out xQc for pulling this shit and then they praise moist critikal for doing the exact same thing.
Any time I see a moist critikal video show up on my feed anymore, I just immediately mark it as not interested because I know it’s going to be half of him repeating the same point ten times and then switching to him reacting to it on stream
Atleast moist critikal and asmongold actually comment on the topic in the video making it transformative there is a big difference between actually commenting and walking away and getting some chicken nuggets
I really don't get the hype around penguinz0 anymore. I liked his content back in the good ol' days, but lately (probably starting with when he started showing his face, now that I think about it) he just seems to be subsisting on his eceleb status.
The sting the Fine Bros felt has not lost its potency one bit. That was some old world skullduggery attempted to be applied to the internet and the new economy. Super ill fated from its inception.

The issue is that UA-camrs don't issue copyright strikes on them and don't challenge them. You're getting abused because you choose too.
That's because the concept of fair use seem to be completely arbitrary based on who and why they do it hence Hassan get of scot free because other progressives will just bail his ass out
So every UA-camr should be cognizant of whenever some random streamer decides to 'react' to their content? That sounds incredibly retarded. Getting a UA-cam reupload taken down is obviously something these streamers don't care about. They have already extracted all of the benefits from playing the video on their stream. They get to stream longer and have the donos and other stuff from during the stream.
for someone who has copyright stuck once upon a time I can tell you its a pain and they will let it ride for as possible. Basically the one who has the most money will have you dangle for as long as possible so you either get tired and just give up. Most youtubers dont have a legal team to do it for them as the tools given are medicore at best.
DarkViperAU wrote up an excellent script and has a video about this very topic, he explains how reaction content is harmful in a very clear and easy to understand way.
A good middle ground based on the third argument of boosting the original creator's views is notifying the OC's during a stream, rather than having them find out afterward. Even if xQc or any other react streamers are halfway through the video, the OC's should have the right to either ask for a percentage of the revenue from superchats, or even tell the streamer to stop stealing their content. Whatever happened to the common human decency of asking before borrowing?
Remove the profit, remove the problem. Only those willing to whore for free remain, far better. Go back to pre-google UA-cam. Everyone complaining they only got this stack of millions when they DESERVED THISSSS stack of millions for their blog is tiring. They're like landlords but with even less provided services.
Asmongold does it right. Pausing it constantly (to the annoyance of some people) to pipe in his own perspective on it, then reading what the chat says. His videos can go 2-3x as long as the original video he's reacting to.
First video by Dev where I haven't given a shit about what was being talked about ever. I consider this a win considering how many videos you make. Thank you Dev.
I do enjoy reaction channels but mostly things like “tribal people react” which includes things like giving them food they have never had before and music video reactions. Particularly watching people react to country music.
That’s really not the type or “react” that is colloquially referred to at this time The format is pretty much the same as the fine bros but the context is wildly different It isn’t 1st world westerners with similar experiences watching 1st world westerners and their opinions on a topic, tribal reacts and such are insight for the westerner into a culture and way of life completely foreign to most of the viewers Often times because they’re “reacting” to mundane or common items a first worlder doesn’t think remarkable
One issue I have with the "creators consented, so it's ok" argument in this case is that it could be argued it's for some under duress. There could be many creators who aren't happy with twitch reactbros but they aren't prepared to start shit with them, so they act cool because appeasing reactors' audiences and hoping you'll be" paid in exposure" is their next best option. It's pretty obvious at this point that if you dare criticize Hasan in any way, he's gonna call you mad, drama whoring and alt-right because you are friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of Sargon.
Love the three you made. Also, there could be a two rules system. Streamer can stream themselves reacting to any videos and consent is implicit, but: 1. Any content creator can ask a streamer to no longer stream their videos, and they have to respect that in the future. 2. The revenue of any VOD uploaded on the same platform where the content creator is goes to the content creator. I think that would make sense because it is very true that the market is not the same on Twitch and on UA-cam
Anytime I see Hasan leave the room with the camera running, I remember that time T. Pool and co had to evacuate the building and left the camera running, and the live watchers skyrocketed because everyone was waiting to see what had happened, maybe even hoping to see an explosion or a masked gunman burst in. It's like Hasan saw this event, didn't realize it was an anomaly driven by mystery and confusion, and made it part of his normal content.
One person who I think does reacts content really well is Asmongold. Firstly, the man can turn a 10 minute video into an hour long react video and his stream viewers constantly make fun of him for it. As well, it seems like more than half the time he actively chooses channels or videos that are not super well known and there is a correlation that if you make quality content in WoW but just haven't hit that critical mass having him react to you will usually cause that start. Thirdly one thing that he does is actively subscribes to the channel and tells his followers to do the same while actively choosing to not skip the ads that the person has. I really think it just comes down to how much of an effort you put into transforming the content I would say around half or more of the length of the videos probably the correct amount of time but again it's the case by case basis
Two ways you could make this work out so everyone wins. Organically: React channel viewers have the decorum to watch the videos either before or after watching a reactor’s reaction. Mechanically: UA-cam setting it up so react channels can tie their views into the original video and/ or partner with twitch to do the same function. If either was implemented then react channels would become the ideal signal boost and people would hate them less. However, both unlikely as it would require either for the cast majority of people to care enough to do more than they wanted to (good luck with that), or for UA-cam and/ or twitch to add a helpful function to their system.
At least for the UA-cam reaction content, a solution could be some sort of sync app where the streamer could play and pause the video being reacted to for their fans. UA-cam gets views, and streamers can react win win.
I think that one point that seems to remain largely unadressed in this whole debacle is the total market impact of react streams. Specifically on UA-cam, react streamers are a strain on the whole platform. Reactors are able to produce videos at a much faster rate than original content creators, by piggybacking of original videos by the dozens in a single stream, allowing them and their fans to upload dozens of more clips, which then recieve impressions that would have otherwise gone to an actual content creator. By usurping impressions they can eventually hope to win over the youtube algorithm, further increasing their sway on the market as a whole. I highly reccomend DarkViperAU's videos on the subject (ua-cam.com/video/Irk8h0ax5aY/v-deo.html) as it seems he is the only one who has thoroughly laid out why this is such a big problem.
My rule of thumb on fair use is to ask if there’s any point in going and consuming the original afterwards. If no, it probably wasn’t transformative enough, and it also kind of demonstrates why that’s a problem
It's so 2023 Ethan to absolutely grill someone for something his co-host is also critized for and completely ignore that fact Good to see he can still make somewhat decent arguments even if there's a shit tonne of cognitive dissonance wrapped around it. Sad to see his further decline
Asmongold is a good react streamer. He does his own commentary usually knows he can play it by the original creator and generally gets that channel a good bit of viewers
I'm starting to absolutely love your content. It's these long form videos jam-packed with tons of information and nuanced takes, while not sounding overly pretentious or superior in any way. You earned a sub from me!
"watch parties" are not fair use. we have plenty of examples of that before the internet. Arenas, venues, bars, etc can NOT just display sporting events, etc for free, without paying for a license to do it.
One problem i have with the 'If you ask for Consent from the Creator it's okay' argument is sometimes those Creators may have alterior motives for their answers. Take most of your TikTok Tuesday reaction videos, i'm pretty sure almost everyone in those videos would say no if you asked if you could react to their stuff, knowing you'd criticize and poke fun of them in your reaction.
I just watched all of Lemminos videos on his channel. I know I’m only one view and sub but it is because of this video. It was very insightful. I think the problem is that lemmino is already a multi millionaire off of making content and the users watching it on twitch to find out what XQC thinks weren’t interested in the video they just like hanging out with a crackhead.
20:19 Yes, I dislike the ad model and believe users have the right to block ads and trackers. You can't ban math on a computer. I pay creators I enjoy in other, more direct ways. Yes, I also believe that someone reacting to a work should do so in a transformative way.
Ironic thing about TheFineBros was their style of videos was the least content-theft type of reaction videos. They only played certain clips and put links in the description. So many reaction videos don't link the original video and almost all of them play the entire original video, essentially making it an re-upload on someone else's channel.

this all proves that a huge number of streamers:
1. Think they're entitled
2. Struggle to be entertaining to their own audience.

The whole Jontron segment at the end of the video was interesting considering Jon had the exact inverse of what dev talked about with creators devolving into lazy content. The fact that Jon left doing easy let’s play videos to make highly produced content that required a lot of time and effort is not only commendable, but it also paid off for him in the long run since he’s arguably bigger than ever. Another reason he’s one of the UA-cam GOATs in my opinion.
yeah, not big enough nowadays, not the interesing BUT! i still love that good ol chum
I feel bad for creators like Lemmino. Dude uploads once a blue moon, but his content is the some of the highest quality on the platform. But, his content is ALWAYS stolen by react channels that get way more views than his original video.
I only wish he would call these people out or even press charges for content violations.

I like the way the Sword Community on youtube handles this. They always make "reply videos", where they will make a video with some of another video, and they will actually respond and add to or disagree with the video. And you get back and forths between channels going on, and it's probably great for engagement with BOTH channels. Channels like Shadiversity, Metatron, Lindybeige, and skalgrim. All awesome, wholesome, and based
Same with gun video creators. When Kentucky Ballistics had his accident on camera it created about 2 dozen reaction and counter-reaction videos dissecting the accident and discussing how to prevent similar accidents in the future.
The accident was defective round exploding in a .50 rifle while KB was shooting it, BTW. Not an act of stupidity or carelessness. Just really bad ammo in a really nice gun...
I think there used to be a built in system where video replies could be posted in the comments.
The great thing about the sword community is that it’s such a practical hobby the reply videos are almost always based around a physical demonstration of why the original video is inaccurate. “This sword is rubbish it can’t do this.” - “Yes it can, watch me!” It naturally lends itself to transformative conversation, but professional Reactors just play random videos they have no insight or knowledge of, and can only say “wow guys” “that’s right” because they have not prepared anything to add to the conversation.
@@darwinxavier3516 i think they do still show up somewhere, i forgot where though
@@tyrannicalchocolate the sword community is awesome because it's anchored in practical objective reality. They go over theory, and then try to apply it. It's actually quite scientific a lot of the time.
I used to watch Lemmino back when his channel was called "Top Ten Memes" when I was in middle school. It's impressive to see how far he's come since then.
Yea, going through his old content is a bit of a trip.
It’s like reverse hacking - you know, when a good channel gets taken over and posts shitty top 10 content to then die in obscurity because no one wants to see that shit. His, however, went from crappy top 10 content to some of the most well put together content out there with his own original music, animations, in-depth research, etc. where the videos are beyond engaging and leave you wanting more. Like two different channels in one.

@@ImortalZeus13 Jinx is a name I haven't heard in years, what happened to that guy?

The ”harm reduction” point doesn’t make sense for another reason too. Just because one guy benefits, doesn’t mean they all will. It’s like saying because I punched you, and you met your future wife at the hospital, that it’s okay to punch people. The positive result is a _lucky_ outcome, not the explicit or even intended one. They’re pushing the positive/neutral angle as a _defence for themselves_ not as the explicit goal for the person they’re freebooting.
Hey, if I hadn't gone it college to run away from home, and if my buddy hadn't have had my apt for me to offer my buddy when he ran away from his home situation, he'd have not met his wife or had his 2 kids. My actions literally made that relationship and those kids happen, and that's crazy to think about.
@@RobertMorgan True, and that's very nice to hear - it just doesn't absolve a knowing moral actor from willingly taking the risk that only circumstance will justify their choices. If you bet someone else's money on a coinflip, you're basically doing what streamers do when they replace potential viewership, regardless of if the other party is willing to risk a major loss of face by confronting someone larger.

It's funny that Johntron was talking about what ended up splitting up the original game grumps. Let's plays can be done well like Oneyplays. I watch those videos over and over just for the conversations between Chris and everyone
Ginger Prime actually broke down the numbers and reaction content does in fact hurt the content creator, especially within the first week of uploading as that is 90% of the total views.
It CAN help with older content but when streamers react immediately after its uploaded it severely hinders the original video.
Something tells me xQc and Hasan especially would copyright strike their own content if people reacted to them, if they made content.
Hasan will usually walk away and let the vid play and money flies in.
That’s what I thought was crazy when this initially came out
The people fighting hardest to keep it don’t have the ability to create the content they consume
Their idea of content is either loud noise funne, outrageous claim is outrageous, or angry/funny reaction
Compare that to when shit like Xbox ahoy came out or even stuff in the vain of Jacob Geller or any of the long form game or story analysis, it’s a completely different beast
It’s actually telling a story with a through line, probably with a traditional 3 part structure
I doubt most streamers could also sit down and make a 10 minute analysis of a topic that interests them
A true socialist xD
Usually clowns like this take videos down when they’re copyright struck to deny further income being contested but after the damage is already done to the original content’s potential reach.
Hasan will if it make him look bad
If you're wondering, most content creators don't get nearly enough of a bump in watch hours and video retention (the stats that matter) to break even with the lost views, so unless the creator says otherwise, it's safe to assume they lost money
Good. Removing money from online influencing is step one to saving the world. Remember how great the internet was when everyone was joking about fictional Internet money, how the charlie bit my finger and keyboard cat and the chocolate rain guy, they were internet trillionares, IF anyone online paid for anything, but why would you, it's online, it's free.
I'm a lifetime conservative Republican capitalist, and yes, I'm saying internet Marxism is the sole way to save us.

It's funny because UA-cam could totally lean into this and create a Watch Party stream system where streamers can curate content and give commentary on other creator's videos and the views from the stream can be share by both the streamer and the original content creator but I don't think UA-cam could be bothered to add something like that.
I mean, fuck, UA-cam even had a similar system in the early 2010s. I don't recall the name, but the person could put together a playlist and then watch and live chat with others who tuned in. It wouldn't have taken much to retool it into what you're suggesting.
That would never work because of how serving ads work. If you combine both channels, do you add twice as many ads? And what stops creators themselves from sharing their pot outside the system? Just like the music industry, whenever collaborations happen, these items are negotiated in advance.
LOL. You assume "reactors" would be willing to share revenue. Nice joke. Let's face it. Reaction videos (most of them, anyway) are often considered stolen content for a reason. Imagine working hours on a video for some clown to "react" to it, and then you get nothing while they get the benefit of views, subs and, of course, money.
If the stream pauses every time chat sends a message, then I would consider it transformative.
There's a fine line between a commentary channel and a react channel.
JonTron throwing shade at Game Grumps in an only semi-jokey way while on Game Grumps is really funny. And what's extra relevant is that apparently the Game Grumps channel has a somewhat regular segment reacting to their own videos (don't follow them any more but I remember seeing some of those in my feed from time to time).
Twitch is still a thing? Sad.
React content is a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s kind of the closest I’ll get to enjoying music and movies I love for the first time again. I don’t get why a lot of xqc or hassan’s audience demand them not to interrupt, rather than just go to the original source
With how common piracy and torrents are, IDK how people don't know this is an option.

One reaction channel I really like is Vlogging Through History. He’s a historian who reacts to history content and adds his own points, or points out things that the creator didn’t mention, and fact checks, that sort of thing. Whenever a big history video comes out on UA-cam I go to his channel to see his point of view.
Ayyyyy I love that channel. I remember he got into a controversy recently too because of the react content
History Buffs is a great channel like that, they take a historically based film and recount the actual history it was based on, what they got right, what they got wrong, what was made up, it's excellent.
Another cool thing about his channel too is that he never makes a reaction the same day the video goes up since he want as much views to go to the original video
xQc doesn't strike me as having witty or insightful commentary to add.

I also enjoy reacting to a reaction of a reactor reacting to my reaction
Oh god, this brings me back to the Jinx days! Good ol' GradeAUnderA.
To me there's a pretty simple solution, which is to treat it the same way they treat movie reactions. Guys who react to movies would never be crazy enough to just show the whole thing, they either edit their reaction or tell their audience to watch the movie on their own device while listening to the audio commentary. Just link to the youtube video and tell the audience to watch along. Literally open that shit on another tab and you get the same experience while also ensuring the original creator gets views.
like 10 years ago a bunch of reacting content and youtubers were "banned" or ill seen by the comunity for being considered lazy and basically plagiarists, suddenly a few years ago the same content rose again in popularity and almost everyone is doing it again, humanity never learn and always repeat the same mistakes, but with internet that process is speed up a LOT lol

Funny enough; not that long ago there was a bit of a dust up between Vlogging Through History and CGP Grey; VTH is a reactor who does historical content who always stops the video now and then to give additional context or corrections to the point his videos can double in length and did a couple of Grey's.
Grey opted to file a strike. No contact, no please stop, no dialogue; just instant Nuke Button. He filed a second when VTH challenged it and compared him to Hassan.

@@theALTF4 Everyone has a blind spot.
Consent after-the-fact or saying that monetary benefit trumps consent partially misses the point, assuming the use isn't transformative. If someone can use my work without asking for permission, or just "pay" me afterwards, still shows that society doesn't respect my property rights. Why should I make content in that case?
I feel the only reason to make content is if you have something to give away to public domain. If you profit, perish. I miss old school pre Google UA-cam when it was about content rather than cash. Get 10 million views, the payment was you got 10 million more people that zero to see your views, that's worth Billions. You have to have a message worth that, and I'll watch it for free or steal it, or not at all.
How the fuck did we get to where we're paying for digital content? It was never like this in the past. Knowledge needs to be free.
Now, I'd happily pay for actual costs, but not for time.
If UA-cam started charging creators for bandwidth they'd all be gone in a month. This video alone would cost Dev tens of thousands to host for a month.
The monetizing used to be the free hosting, it was the only place.
It's like saying you were planning on giving back when caught stealing a car. At that point it doesnt matter. You already did the thing.
I get so sad every time I am reminded that Hasan is a big streamer, somehow I lose hope about humanity.
Truly a "won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest" moment.
As much as I hate to say this Asmongold is the golden standard of transformative reaction commentary. Especially his videos on anything related to World of Warcraft, Dark Souls or MMORPGs.
Almost all of his videos comment sections are engaging with his talking points that he made in the video creating a discussion.
Ye as much as I dislike seeing a trending video with “streamer reacts to”, Asmongold does juuust enough to skirt by if I’m being harsh
but the amount of times he says what I was thinking at that same time makes me more accepting of it
Dudes smart as evidenced by the mizkif stuff
Asmond has made it part of his brand to discuss the topic he's presenting, which is transformative. He's never only been about just watching something and going "That's interesting" and then doing nothing.
To put it another way, Asmod's chat doesn't get upset if he pauses the video and starts talking about it.
Haha, you nailed it. Asmongold isn't my cup of tea. But the dude knows his craft.
I've recently started watching Asmongold, and yeah, he actually does discuss - agreeing, disagreeing, adding information.... it's not as common as it should be.
Asmongold also do a great job of always emphasizing the name of the video, the name of the UA-cam channel, and always encourage it's viewer to go give it a like.
What is wild and annoying to watch is that this drama is just "People problems vs wealthy people/corporation problems", since I can promise you none of these streamers would be able keep their stream or VODs up if they're trying it with the latest Marvel films. Anime react channels tend to need heavy editing and obfuscation to keep the react gig running.
Wow dude that's crazy!
*goes into another room without pausing*
Meanwhile we have Sitch & Adam going on two hour tangents about topics related to the video that is 3 minutes long.

@@eddardgreybeard HA HA EFAP GOES PAUSE PAUSE
So as long as they do that thing they dont ever do. Got it.
Transformative content is like the obscene: difficult to define, but you know it when you see it
I feel like it would be a good idea for platforms to develop a "joint view" feature, wherein you can put in the link to a video you're reacting to and have the platform automatically count all views on your upload as views on the original video, and add them to that video's view count.
This would obviously be a difficult thing to implement on Twitch, but it should be a simple thing for UA-cam to do.
Can we take a moment to respect Jerma for being the most creative streamer in all of Twitch and UA-cam?
Along with dougdoug
Who?
I always like the "I can't ask permission during a stream, it's a stream" argument. It's their problem, not everyone else's. They chose the medium, it doesn't give them the right to take something they haven't worked on, without permission. None of this is difficult to understand, they're obviously just playing dumb, until the "meta" ends, like it's some sort of game. The moment some of these streamers became somewhat internet famous, any and all principles jumped out the window and made a principle shaped grave on the pavement below.
I find it adorbale how hypocritical people are when they call out xQc for pulling this shit and then they praise moist critikal for doing the exact same thing.
Any time I see a moist critikal video show up on my feed anymore, I just immediately mark it as not interested because I know it’s going to be half of him repeating the same point ten times and then switching to him reacting to it on stream
At least Charlie is a bit better about it than these guys from what I've seen. Still isn't great tho
Atleast moist critikal and asmongold actually comment on the topic in the video making it transformative there is a big difference between actually commenting and walking away and getting some chicken nuggets
I remember when Charlie's content wasn't cookie cutter dog shit too
I really don't get the hype around penguinz0 anymore. I liked his content back in the good ol' days, but lately (probably starting with when he started showing his face, now that I think about it) he just seems to be subsisting on his eceleb status.
The sting the Fine Bros felt has not lost its potency one bit. That was some old world skullduggery attempted to be applied to the internet and the new economy. Super ill fated from its inception.
The issue is that UA-camrs don't issue copyright strikes on them and don't challenge them. You're getting abused because you choose too.
Meanwhile, false copyright is rampant.
That's because the concept of fair use seem to be completely arbitrary based on who and why they do it hence Hassan get of scot free because other progressives will just bail his ass out
So every UA-camr should be cognizant of whenever some random streamer decides to 'react' to their content? That sounds incredibly retarded.
Getting a UA-cam reupload taken down is obviously something these streamers don't care about. They have already extracted all of the benefits from playing the video on their stream. They get to stream longer and have the donos and other stuff from during the stream.
for someone who has copyright stuck once upon a time I can tell you its a pain and they will let it ride for as possible. Basically the one who has the most money will have you dangle for as long as possible so you either get tired and just give up. Most youtubers dont have a legal team to do it for them as the tools given are medicore at best.
It's not really worth it for the UA-cam creator.
DarkViperAU wrote up an excellent script and has a video about this very topic, he explains how reaction content is harmful in a very clear and easy to understand way.
A good middle ground based on the third argument of boosting the original creator's views is notifying the OC's during a stream, rather than having them find out afterward. Even if xQc or any other react streamers are halfway through the video, the OC's should have the right to either ask for a percentage of the revenue from superchats, or even tell the streamer to stop stealing their content. Whatever happened to the common human decency of asking before borrowing?
Remove the profit, remove the problem.
Only those willing to whore for free remain, far better. Go back to pre-google UA-cam.
Everyone complaining they only got this stack of millions when they DESERVED THISSSS stack of millions for their blog is tiring.
They're like landlords but with even less provided services.
Asmongold does it right. Pausing it constantly (to the annoyance of some people) to pipe in his own perspective on it, then reading what the chat says. His videos can go 2-3x as long as the original video he's reacting to.
Hassan seeing a highly polished youtube video to "react" too: "We made this comrade."
First video by Dev where I haven't given a shit about what was being talked about ever. I consider this a win considering how many videos you make. Thank you Dev.
I do enjoy reaction channels but mostly things like “tribal people react” which includes things like giving them food they have never had before and music video reactions. Particularly watching people react to country music.
That’s really not the type or “react” that is colloquially referred to at this time
The format is pretty much the same as the fine bros but the context is wildly different
It isn’t 1st world westerners with similar experiences watching 1st world westerners and their opinions on a topic, tribal reacts and such are insight for the westerner into a culture and way of life completely foreign to most of the viewers
Often times because they’re “reacting” to mundane or common items a first worlder doesn’t think remarkable
One issue I have with the "creators consented, so it's ok" argument in this case is that it could be argued it's for some under duress. There could be many creators who aren't happy with twitch reactbros but they aren't prepared to start shit with them, so they act cool because appeasing reactors' audiences and hoping you'll be" paid in exposure" is their next best option. It's pretty obvious at this point that if you dare criticize Hasan in any way, he's gonna call you mad, drama whoring and alt-right because you are friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of Sargon.
Love the three you made. Also, there could be a two rules system. Streamer can stream themselves reacting to any videos and consent is implicit, but: 1. Any content creator can ask a streamer to no longer stream their videos, and they have to respect that in the future. 2. The revenue of any VOD uploaded on the same platform where the content creator is goes to the content creator.
I think that would make sense because it is very true that the market is not the same on Twitch and on UA-cam
Anytime I see Hasan leave the room with the camera running, I remember that time T. Pool and co had to evacuate the building and left the camera running, and the live watchers skyrocketed because everyone was waiting to see what had happened, maybe even hoping to see an explosion or a masked gunman burst in.
It's like Hasan saw this event, didn't realize it was an anomaly driven by mystery and confusion, and made it part of his normal content.
This is so unfair what else those streamers supposed to do, die??
Yes
Produce original content?
lmao, I understood the reference.
One person who I think does reacts content really well is Asmongold.
Firstly, the man can turn a 10 minute video into an hour long react video and his stream viewers constantly make fun of him for it.
As well, it seems like more than half the time he actively chooses channels or videos that are not super well known and there is a correlation that if you make quality content in WoW but just haven't hit that critical mass having him react to you will usually cause that start.
Thirdly one thing that he does is actively subscribes to the channel and tells his followers to do the same while actively choosing to not skip the ads that the person has.
I really think it just comes down to how much of an effort you put into transforming the content I would say around half or more of the length of the videos probably the correct amount of time but again it's the case by case basis
W streamer
You must be joking? You a fan ssniperwolf too? 😂 they are both cancer..
Two ways you could make this work out so everyone wins.
Organically: React channel viewers have the decorum to watch the videos either before or after watching a reactor’s reaction.
Mechanically: UA-cam setting it up so react channels can tie their views into the original video and/ or partner with twitch to do the same function.
If either was implemented then react channels would become the ideal signal boost and people would hate them less. However, both unlikely as it would require either for the cast majority of people to care enough to do more than they wanted to (good luck with that), or for UA-cam and/ or twitch to add a helpful function to their system.
At least for the UA-cam reaction content, a solution could be some sort of sync app where the streamer could play and pause the video being reacted to for their fans. UA-cam gets views, and streamers can react win win.
I think that one point that seems to remain largely unadressed in this whole debacle is the total market impact of react streams. Specifically on UA-cam, react streamers are a strain on the whole platform. Reactors are able to produce videos at a much faster rate than original content creators, by piggybacking of original videos by the dozens in a single stream, allowing them and their fans to upload dozens of more clips, which then recieve impressions that would have otherwise gone to an actual content creator. By usurping impressions they can eventually hope to win over the youtube algorithm, further increasing their sway on the market as a whole. I highly reccomend DarkViperAU's videos on the subject (ua-cam.com/video/Irk8h0ax5aY/v-deo.html) as it seems he is the only one who has thoroughly laid out why this is such a big problem.
Hi Asmongold! Good to see you reacting to this video! Throw this guy a sub, he makes good videos and plenty of content to engage with.
what, is he lol
Still feel like the whole "you benefit from the exposure" is just survivorship/confirmation bias
My rule of thumb on fair use is to ask if there’s any point in going and consuming the original afterwards. If no, it probably wasn’t transformative enough, and it also kind of demonstrates why that’s a problem

I'm starting to absolutely love your content. It's these long form videos jam-packed with tons of information and nuanced takes, while not sounding overly pretentious or superior in any way.
You earned a sub from me!
"watch parties" are not fair use. we have plenty of examples of that before the internet. Arenas, venues, bars, etc can NOT just display sporting events, etc for free, without paying for a license to do it.
One problem i have with the 'If you ask for Consent from the Creator it's okay' argument is sometimes those Creators may have alterior motives for their answers.
Take most of your TikTok Tuesday reaction videos, i'm pretty sure almost everyone in those videos would say no if you asked if you could react to their stuff, knowing you'd criticize and poke fun of them in your reaction.
"now's the time to pause Baulder's gate and look over". Really Dev, you really made me do it.
I just watched all of Lemminos videos on his channel. I know I’m only one view and sub but it is because of this video. It was very insightful. I think the problem is that lemmino is already a multi millionaire off of making content and the users watching it on twitch to find out what XQC thinks weren’t interested in the video they just like hanging out with a crackhead.
Shit you go on efap? It’s been a minute since I’ve seen them, good stuff

Yes, I dislike the ad model and believe users have the right to block ads and trackers. You can't ban math on a computer. I pay creators I enjoy in other, more direct ways.
Yes, I also believe that someone reacting to a work should do so in a transformative way.
"Now it's time to pause Baldur's gate and look over for a few minutes"... I've never felt so called out in my life
5:30 Dev...why you gotta call me out like that man lol
It's weird to be in a situation where Cenk's Nephew has more moral highground than literally anyone else.
5:32 What the F - get out of my headdddd!
Ironic thing about TheFineBros was their style of videos was the least content-theft type of reaction videos. They only played certain clips and put links in the description. So many reaction videos don't link the original video and almost all of them play the entire original video, essentially making it an re-upload on someone else's channel.
That Baldurs Gate pause was funny as hell. Made me pause my game. I'm on my phone watching this instead of a second moniter.
