Want to become a KZbinr or Twitch streamer, but you have nothing original to say and aren't actually creative? Don't let that stop you, you can always start a Reaction channel! A look at how people have managed to take "watching other people's content" to new heights of laziness, as we check in on xQc playing a person's video and then leaving the room, and SSSniperWolf hoping her audience won't notice that she reuses clips... in the SAME VIDEO. Also, Buckley shares his theory as to why people are even watching these channels in the first place.

[@iceandblaze92]

Love you Buckley never stops being you no matter how absurd content on this ass platform gets.

[@mxich8791]

That's true. I was a big fan about a decade ago but it seems like he hasn't changed his style or attitude at all in all these years. It's almost impressively stagnant.

As a viewer of 10+ years now, I just wanted to say thanks for continuing to put so much effort into your videos every week. Your videos consistently get at least a few chuckles out of me regardless of the topic and you’ve got such a knack for delivering a good punchline. Your longevity on KZbin is impressive. I feel like your videos since the hiatus have actually been even funnier than the older videos.

[@BuglordSupreme]

It must be discouraging to put so much effort in your original content only for it to not receive the views it deserves but PLEASE dont stop making videos. They are incredible and well made.

[@TheRighteousDawn]

But it's not just in this industry that it happens, look at pop music for example. The numbers those artists draw are far beyond any meaningful artist with substance. It just goes to show that the average consumer/viewer's taste will always be uninspired and we should always make the effort to seek out those artists and creators that really speak to us no matter how small they may be.

[@knowerofthings5159]

[@ADoseofBuckley]

I do have the "Inside the Bottle" and "Buckley vs Buckley" features on Patreon, I haven't done one in a while, which aren't really "reaction" videos in the same way, since I watch them, write down and script some thoughts, and then put it all together in some sort of coherent manner, vs a true "reaction" where it's just the first thing that comes to mind as you're watching something, your reaction to it.

Middle school, high school, and college drilled this in my mind, no plagiarism! People want to see other people's content. Reacting is lazy, but stealing thumbnails just makes it more obvious. At least Buckley always has something original going on!😊

[@fomori2]

Reacting is not just lazy, but takes ZERO intellect or talent. It is popular because people generally relate to their own demographics, and since most people are ignorant and/or stupid and also talentless, they match the channels personality.

[@wcraig4996]

@@fomori2 agreed! There's a time and place for reaction videos and it ain't everyday! I like the reactions sparingly, like watching someone do a reaction to themselves from years prior or reacting to a new video game trailer. Album reactions are nice too! Reacting everyday to random videos that you haven't made, saying nothing, leaving during your vid, click bait, or copy paste thumbnails is really unbearable. More people are gonna watch them though, and they're gonna be sitting on cash they didn't earn. The only way to end it is to refrain from watching them. Eventually it'll be boring to a majority of their audiences lol.

Here is the difference between these reactors and you. I mean you as a human, not a KZbinr. You are not a parasite. You are an inifinitely better person Does it offer monetary reward? Not always.

Legacy is an incredible gift. What legacy will they leave? Embarassment.

He made a reaction channel which initially just mimicked her style and didn't do very well. He's changed the format now to SSSniperwolf BBBingo, because her content is so formulaic, and now others are on the train too.

Funnily enough your reaction parody was actually 100 times more interesting then whatever the twitch streamers are doing. You actually added commentary, context, and new information to the videos.

[@nsaspynetwork3196]

I watch a "reaction" channel called Mr. Terry History and he reacts to history themed youtube videos but he constantly pauses the videos to add extra context to the video since he's an actual high school history teacher. You actually learn something. If you're going to do a "reaction" channel. That's how you do it. He always constantly shouts out the original channel and encourages his subs to subscribe to the original channel. THATS how you do it.

[@shayziekaizie]

I’ve seen some of his content reacting to some Sam O’Nella videos and OverSimplified. I love how he adds missing context from what he reacted to

[@nutyyyy]

The kind of reaction content that works and is entirely valid is people reviewing or critiquing content from a position of knowledge. They should, however, edit down the video so it's not the entirety of the original video. Reaction content that involves an expert reviewing multiple bits of content at once is also good. Whereas twitch streamers use the entire video, barely react at all and then upload it again and get countless views for no effort. KZbinrs should start claiming their videos.

In all honesty, KZbinrs need to start utilizing the DMCA feature to combat these “reaction” streamers. They’re literally infringing on their copyright, and no judge in the world would EVER rule in favor of the reactor being in fair use.

[@bane2201]

Yeah, if I was Lemmino or one of the people whose videos they "reacted" to, I'd at least copyright claim that part of their KZbin upload and VODs, if not outright copyright strike it. But xQc could fight back, and it'd be difficult for a smaller channel to afford the legal fees. I'm guessing that a largish channel could, and there could be a decent payout from a legal battle too. (Probably not a huge one, but enough to cover fees and then some. He makes $16700/hr from streaming, I think a judge wouldn't pity him.)

[@PuddleOfPizza]

3:54 - I don't think this argument applies to the vast majority of reaction content, That being said, There are two major examples that do prove that reaction channels can have mutual relations with the original creators. Enter: SML and SMG4 Two legacy KZbinrs that blew up off of a surge of reaction videos to their content in 2015-2016, And have since gone on to build massive empires consisting of reaction channels, Review channels, Theory channels, Fan channels, and more. You can look up any video those two have released within the last 6 years and you're bound to find at least 20+ reaction videos to it. (I think they might have the largest stranglehold of any big name KZbinr as far as reaction videos are concerned) Here's the deal though, While Twitch streamers like XQC and Hasan only use reaction content as a means of not creating content themselves. The SML and SMG4 reactors exist solely to be SML and SMG4 reactors, They're hardcore fans and community members that want to increase the spread of the content. (Point being, They don't pretend to be anything beyond what they are) And idk if their content is an inherent moral issue or not (Logan and Luke do encourage the reaction videos, So they have explicit permission), But those are the only examples I can think of where the original creators benefit from reaction content. The niche community's they spawned from (Plushtube and SM64 Machinima) would've prevented them from becoming the mega-stars they are now, So it was ultimately that first wave of reaction channels consisting of GameCubeDude300 (100K), Kushowa (200K), dabhdude (43K), Viger The Magnemite (49K), DraculaPlayz (600K), ect. that pushed them to where they are now. It's like an entire ecosystem.

Makes it sound really good. No echo, no ambient noise, it's funny... if you listen back to some of my old stuff (which at the time I thought sounded good and now think it sucks in comparison), it's the EXACT same mic, and mostly the same setup, but I recorded in a big somewhat empty room with the sound bouncing off the walls. The closet with all my stuff in there absorbs everything, it's great.

[@TheRealLetharos]

Walk-in closets full of clothes are great recording chambers on the cheap. It's already there. The clothes dampen echoes and absorb sound great. When recording vocals at home that's what we used.

[@bebeat1812]

Jacks films been doing a sssniperwolf bingo cuz of how stereotypical her “reactions” are

[@perryuppal]

I have a slightly different theory, Buckley. Recently, it seems that no matter what anyone does, they need SOMETHING going on in the background, even if they're not paying attention to it. So why not watch a video that has basically no substance beyond the original clips. So, people simply put these videos on their second monitors or on their device in the background so they can occasionally look up, see a random clip, and then go on with whatever task they're doing without having to feel like they're "missing out" by not paying attention 100% of the time.

[@is_buggs_on]

[@mario1223456]

Bo Burnham had a bit in his last special that was the sort of recursive reaction thing you were doing near the end, it was pretty funny.

[@FiyahKitteh]

Oh! I didn't think about you touching this subject, but I am glad you did! The more people cover this and point out how lazy it is, the better. If they at least gave credit to the videos via direct-link, or god forbid, asked the owners before using the clips and paid them a fee. But nope. And then YT has these double-standards about it. If these people do it, it's okay despite the rules saying otherwise, but if Joe Normal does it they get their video taken away. It's just not right. Either everyone or no one. Also, Buckley. Check Sniper's glasses. She isn't even watching the videos she is reacting to. It seems like she just records blank reactions and then posts them to whatever video there currently is.

Thank you, Buckley, for another super awesome video. I agree with your theory regarding the reason why reaction videos are so popular. Although I don't really think of them as friends, I do subscribe to several movie reaction channels, and it really does give me the feeling that I'm watching a movie with someone.

6:51 Okay that right there is pathetic. Why couldn't she just use a clip from a different video instead of just reusing the same clip again? Sure people would have noticed that the clip came from a different video but at the very least she wouldn't have used the same clip twice in the same video just to make it above 8 minutes. Just ridiculous.

That whole reaction joke near the end reminded me of the Bo Burnham reaction bit on Inside. Very hilarious.

[@NewGoldStandard]

The bit where you're reacting to your reacting, etc., was actually pretty clever. When your third level started complaining about you arguing with yourself, I laughed out loud.

Can't wait to react to this and become a millionaire! The American dream am I right?

[@billbombshiggy9254]

Also, admittedly I suppose I do watch some reaction channels BUT it's people who actually have real input on what I'm watching. Like former fatties watching my 600lb life. Big T and Sean to be specific. They were that size before. They have valid input on the people on the show and can tell me something i don't know. I also watch dive talk. I'm not a diver. I don't put my head under water in the bath, but I have learned a lot from those two guys (Gus and Woody. Bloody love them) They actually have something to say and add on the subject. So there's reaction channels like the tart with big curves and then there's what I watch which I learn quite a bit from. I think there is a difference, but I suppose I do watch reaction channels now that I think about it.

The bit about you reacting to your own videos at the end was freaking hilarious. I'm suprised some of these moronic react channels haven't actually done that.

[@ipkandskill]

The friends bit I think was wrong. I think the people watching reaction videos are just too lazy to find videos to watch on their own. So they just click a reaction video, that's my guess at least.

[@NefariousTV]

I'm gonna start uploading all of xqc videos with my computer chair watching and reacting to them.

[@OSDIncinerator]

Getting some Bo Burnham flashbacks on that multi layer reaction part 😂

[@sailorjade]

jjacksfilms bbbingo is stupidly fun to play

[@Kurami_702]

I think Bo Burnham’s scene in Inside where he made a parody of reaction videos has only become more accurate of a social commentary as the years go by…

[@resultedchutoy3353]

As a dude that makes money working at an hotel, it also astounds me that some of the 'content creators' (using that word incredibly loosely...) just get paid to literally do the next the thing to nothing. It's crazy, so I understand exactly where you're coming from Buckley.

[@dorkelmaginoe]

For those wondering why people watch XQC, when he barely reacts at all: His viewers dont actually watch for XQC's reaction; they watch it for the livestream chats reaction. I watch a twitch streamer called Forsen who is known in the twitch community for not reacting at all (even by his own admission, he is not reacting, he is just watching it). But his chats reaction is the funny part, where you can relate, especially if you are part of the community which has alot of emotes/memes/internal jokes which makes it funnier. But its hard to explain in text to people who have never participated in this sort of livestream community (And by the way, Buckley is still correct when he says many of these people don't have friends, so they use this as a replacement, and a portion of the viewers also have parasocial relationships with the streamer)

[@ADoseofBuckley]

That sounds even worse. I actually set up my mod to kick anyone who spams emojis back when I did stream regularly. I can't stand that stuff.

[@klausing8]

That ending bit reminds me of ‘Unpaid Intern’ from Inside by Bo Burnham still funny though

[@GrizzlyHugz]

I find it hard to believe Buckley hasn't seen of the greatest comedy specials of this generation, but then again most comments don't seem to realize this either.

[@klausing8]

@@GrizzlyHugzyeah unfortunately

[@ADoseofBuckley]

I've never seen a Bo Burnham thing. Believe it or not I suppose, but yeah he's never interested me.

[@witchywaze9648]

This is a great can't wait to have my favorite streamer react to this one.

[@ADoseofBuckley]

Make sure they blur any of my links so I receive absolutely no benefit from it!
