No cause as far as I can tell, all they are is an extremely cheap dopamine fix, like "hey look, here's this other person who really likes this thing that you like!!!". But without even any interesting depths, like some film criticism is capable of, without any kind of extra level besides just "person likes thing that you like". It's like heroin or something like that, it's just pure affirmation packaged in video form.

Reacts with Jax is a good choice OP. Vkunia, KaliWali and Liteweight are the current ones I watch

Only when I'm shitfaced.

Zoomers actually watch other people watch television?

I love Jax. She is the perfect woman, full figured, great personality, and you just know she is a psycho in the bedroom. The fact that she is this beautiful in LA and still carries around a childhood pet lamb is the ultimate green flag for me.

It's another youtube slop format I'm glad that I stopped watching, same with bodycams and interrogation room channels.

Just because they all jumped on the self-censorship wagon and will speak in coded circles and be saying shit like "a pdf file was unalived after he tried to grape a person under the age of adulthood", or with the TV/movies reaction channels they will censor movies that are rated PG-13 - nevermind showing anything that's rated R.

>>215821826
that's exactly what I like about her. She is not only cute, but she is 10/10 Los Angeles hot, and is down to earth and just watches the stuff she likes.

Also when I realizes she read the LOTR trilogy and was doing a comparison between the books and movies she had me melting.

>>215820420

>Zoomers actually watch other people watch television?

Reaction videos are usually like half an hour long, so they're basically a combination summary plus reactions and takes on a thing presumably from someone you find interesting/relatable etc.
Like it's not just watching someone sitting there quietly watching a movie munching on snacks and saying "hmmm" every ten minutes for 200 minutes. At least not sane people.

>>215820420
>Do y’all ever watch “reaction channels”?
No, it's literally the cringiest fucking shit to ever hit the internet. I'll watch something and react to it my God damned self. Why the fuck would I care what stupid fucking face some dumb broad or basedboy makes while overreacting for clicks?

>>215821899
Agreed literally the same for me when I watched her LOTR watchalongs and was just a bit surprised how much she knew and the fact she actually read the books.

Same with Goodfellas and Godfather she sees why those movies are iconic

I watched Lord of the Rings trilogy one with a cute asian chick

Most reaction channels are like watching a movie with a real estate agent, i.e. fake and trying to sell you something the whole time (their youtube and patreon career). there's little room for organic criticism, sometimes the fun of watching a with friends is mocking the movie, that rarely happens in yt reactions. performative and insincere is the norm..
there's also only an handful of movies that generate really fun reactions that are fun in and out of themselves, for me the go-to is ED-209 scene in Robocop, it creates shocked reactions and laughter that can't be faked, eg https://youtu.be/t2flhjr6n8M?si=kWMtYxhAdOkxbKsi

Hey Satan, is there a market for this type of content? Like, if I was genuine and shit talked movies I didnt like, maybe pause at dumb scenes to shit talk it or praise it if its good. Or is this type of stuff just lonely people who toss a movie on their second monitor and hit play at the same time as the YTer so its like theyre watching it with a friend?

It's trash and it has spilled over into the "analysis and essay" space. Enough so that you'll open a video claiming to be analyzing some music and it turns out to just be a fag playing chords while oohing and aahing.

>>215823918
More interesting than reaction videos is why does it generate such a visceral reaction of hatred? Scammers and tranny propagandists on youtube are spoken of more softly than reactors or reaction video watchers on here. What is the explanation for this?

>>215824198
everyone reacts to things every day but something prevents them from monetizing it and they cant figure out why. quite simply, theyre jealous.

How do people suspend their disbelief that this random 30 year old person is totally watching every single popular movie for the first time

its a mystery

My childhood friend has one of those "cute girl watches Star Wars for the first time" channels and blew up. He is not a cute girl but an ugly obese TRANNY with clever filters and editing, and he's been a Star Wars fan since he was a kid, he tried to become a Star Wars youtuber but got no subscribers since he wasn't a right wing grifter but after he trooned out he decided to pretend he never saw it and was a ditzy valley girl instead of the autistic tranny he is, and somehow people fall for it even though under the editing it's obviously a man. Now he pretends he never saw a bunch of other stuff too but usually it is stuff he was already a fan of, he says it doesn't count since "deadname" watched those but not his tranny self.

>>215824198
because essentially it turns the inherent value of watching a movie and bonding with other people watching it into a commodity and commercial product

>>215824643
What if they don't have friends that like watching movies, or the movies/TV shows they like? Or what if they are a friendless loser? That doesn't explain the reaction

>>215820420
It's curated slop
Notice how they ALL react to the same films/songs at the same time

A lot of them just pretend that they haven't seen a popular show or movie.

>>215824894
who is ''they''? you're conflating a bunch of things, not worth the semantic breakdown.

>Composer reacts to hearing Pink Floyd for the first time!!!
Doug is a 45 year old man who was alive in the 1990s, when radio was what we had to listen to music on in cars and out & about. Doug smokes weed. Doug went to college and majored in music. There is no fucking way on this plane of existence that all these things describe Doug with Doug never ever hearing any of Pink Floyd’s music, the Beatles music, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, or Metallica. It was everywhere, all the time right alongside current & contemporary music, and if you ever drove a car at night, you were going to hear the big looong epics from those bands.

For me it's baby factory Belgian woman.

Your take could be applied to almost all Youtubers in existence because almost all of them involve parasociality between the viewer and the creator (friend simulator) and involve monetization.
