I don’t watch reaction content, I’d rather just watch the original video. But I don’t mind them making it as long as they credit the creator properly in the video and somehow make their own video unique and not just a plain re-upload of the creator’s video. It’s always best if they ask the creator first. What’s worse is people remaking other peoples’ reels and they transform it by rewriting the script slightly (or the mainstream media copies it and makes it a news or infotainment story without credit).

Doctor Hope's Sick Notes reacting to Cells At Work is, hands down, the BEST react content I've ever seen, by a country mile. It isn't just reactions, he'll spot something interesting, pause, rush off to grab paper and markers, and just do a really cool microbiology mini-lesson. He's engaging with the content more fully than his audience otherwise might, and taking the opportunity to dramatically expand upon what the original content was showing. It's breathtakingly great stuff.

[@Ohmargod]

Just by skimming through his videos I couldn't call him a "reactor". Pausing videos to drop actual knowledge about something he's an expert at and even editing his videos makes him better then the average reactor.

[@holysecret2]

You might enjoy "The Charismatic Voice", quite similar but with music. Overall, my bar is quite a bit lower to accepting reaction content as "good" (as long as the people or person seem genuine interested, are actively commenting and discussing), but I can't deny that I do appreciate and respect people more for pausing and even skipping parts of the original content, where it makes sense. Where regular "good" reactions are toeing the line of transformation through entertainment, live commentary and post discussions, the pausing and skipping leaves no room for doubt about the transformative nature, and creates a completely new experience.

[@treemannick2969]

TRUE! I love his content bc I learn a lot more than I get from watching Cells at Work alone. When the series was going on, I usually watched the episode first, then watch his reactions so he could point out stuff that I didn’t catch and learn more along the way.

[@nealang9520]

Oho I've seen those vids. As y'all said, pretty good stuff✨✨✨

[@LizzyTheLobster]

I’m glad you highlighted better ways of reacting to content! I discovered your channel specifically because of Charlie talking about it. I love the way he reacts to things, for the most part, because he gives enough detail for me to know what he’s talking about but still gives me a reason to watch the original. Also your channel is the only reason I know anything about Halo. I’m not really into shooters but you’re attention to detail and passion for stuff makes it really easy to get interested in stuff that wouldn’t normally catch my eye. Please try to hold onto your passion Act Man

[@lukebytes5366]

I liked that too. Even if you don't like reactors as a whole, there are layers as to what goes from lazy but informative to actively spitting in the face of fair use. If we can't distinguish that nuance we could open the door against fair use all over again.

I still can't wrap my head around the idea that so many people watch the reactions INSTEAD of the original, because I like reaction videos, and that goes entirely against the whole reason I watch them. They're fun because I like seeing other people's experience with something I've already seen and enjoyed. I'm literally here right now because someone I follow reacted to it and I thought "I should go watch the original and come back if I'm still interested".

[@bigbadgammagnome]

Yeah, I agree. I'll always watch a video to get my own thoughts on it *before* watching a reaction to it. But I don't really watch much reaction content at all. I'd have to already like the youtuber doing it, or just really want to see people react to a certain video I already like because seeing people get hyped about something you also love is cool. I don't get the appeal of watching a bunch of random, uncredited tiktoks with someone in the corner just ocassionally pointing out whats on screen and giving inauthentic reactions, like sssniperwolf does. That sucks.

[@zgama6511]

I'm late to this whole thing but reaction content (for the most part some KZbinrs like oompaville do it right by adding genuinely funny or entertaining bits on top of funny edits) is the laziest most scummy kind of content out there and I feel like no one really cares about that? I mean watch a show/movie with your viewers I doubt anyone cares about that million/billion dollar company losing out on a few grand but most of these guys are just hijacking views that would otherwise go to actual content and not this lazy nonsense that every KZbinr does nowadays. Even KZbinrs I still watch do it and it's genuinely kinda disgusting to watch KZbinrs go "oh ha funny" then move on without adding anything whatsoever to what they're watching. I don't think it's helped by the fact that these same KZbinrs seem to think they're gods and that their opinion really matters when all they do is laugh, say some buzz words then move on. Best example of this I can think of rn is jacksepticeye saying mr.beast ruined KZbin when bros videos are almost all reaction content now and when he does make actual videos it's full of so much self righteous bullshit that you don't even wanna watch his let's play. The fuckin ego it takes to say someone who puts so much effort into their videos ruined KZbin when all he does is look at his screen and laugh is actually fuckin braindead. And I'm someone who used to love jack but my god is he up his own ass the last couple years. I don't even really like Mr. Beast and I realize he also does reaction content but at least the man actually still makes content and isn't just a reaction andy that makes occasional content. (This kinda turned into a dig on Jack that wasn't my intention but my point still stands. There is so many KZbinrs/streamers that do mainly reaction content that have such big egos and act like they do anything of value when all they do is steal other people's content and it's sad as fuck to see.)

It's bizzare because his more recent vidoes with certain takes like the panty RE4 remake are firmly on allowing guys to view hot women in games, are based, But complaining about pronouns is to much for him and not a big deal?

[@slackerdc]

This is one of the better videos covering the topic. React doesn't automatically make it bad. If you bring something to the table and give a reason to watch the original it's actually really good it's essentially a signal boost at that point. When you cannibalize a video and bring absolutely no value to it except your vacant expression that's when it's a a problem.

[@chuck600]

So Asmon is unethical then? Because there's no reason to watch the original after his reaction, since he shows the whole video? I agree

[@silverphoenix1834]

I know the EFAP crew is largely done with this already, but knowing Act Man has enough thoughts on this to fill up nearly half an hour of content makes me wish he would make another appearance on EFAP to join in the discussion with them.

Hi Actman. I've been enjoying your channel for a while now but I thought I'd say an additional thanks for posting this. I'm not a content creator but I'm fed up with these charlatans all over my feed. You've been most illuminating in how and why they do their thing and how it can be bettered. Keep being fucking cool Spartan

[@bedspla6551]

I went through your vids to see when about it was I subbed and I was dumbfounded when I saw it's been SEVEN years. Makes me happy makes me smile to see you doing so well and being recognised, talked about and talked too by these larger creators, keep up the good work AM :)

[@albertobernal2537]

His YT account was almost deleted, at least once. I'm glad he pulled through, his videos just keep getting better. At least in my opinion, of course.

[@db-pl5yu]

I honestly love Jacksfilms and what he's done for KZbin in general. He's been around since the AVGN days, he's allowed to critique and comment on current KZbin trends. And he does it in such a beautiful way

I like how you and asmon were able to talk through the issue with the reaction and found a solution for both of you. As someone who found you through Asmon's reaction of the Elden Ring Hot Takes video I'm glad to see that you two are still amiable with each other

[@cobycoba]

That's the neat part right. These 2 had a problem solved it behind the scenes and he talks about it only after the resolution.

Cr1tikal's livestream reacts are fucking awful. I prefer his edited videos where he cuts away from the content to him looking at the camera and speaking to the viewer. It's a shame that now he's been drastically reducing the frequency of those types of videos. He'll insert a recorded or edited intro to the topic and then cut to a livestream VoD. It sucks. Charlie on camera is way different than Charlie on livestream and he's just not entertaining at all on livestream.

[@mrcorncakez2410]

Truly inspiring xQC is, I absolutely admire his occasional facial expression change while he takes views away from a content creator while his young audience somehow watch his completely entertaining and not boring content. What a guy.

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

It baffles me how tossers like this get so huge and retain viewers. Like, how is what they do entertaining in any way? Mind boggling.

I will never understand how people follow and watch xQc. He switches between no reaction and having the dumbest takes possible, all while being incredible to difficult to understand.

One of my favorite reactors is a guy by the name of Mr. Terry who is a history teacher in real life. He reacts to history videos like Oversimplified and adds in additional historical context that the creator missed or didn't have time for. He also leaves the link to the video and constantly asks people to support the main channel he reacts to.

[@Super_Seaton]

I found this channel through Asmongold and am proud of it. Most of the time I don't go and watch the original videos or subscribe to the channels but Actman is different. Keep it up Actman!

[@Maloooon]

Same here. For some reason asmongold is the only reacter I watch and in many cases I find new youtubers that I subscribe and watch myself.

[@rlstrength]

Same this is why I think the agreement to wait a few days is genius. I'm subbed so I'll watch the act man video when it comes out and if I want more takes I'll watvh the react when it comes out.

[@chuck600]

​@@rlstrength what's so genius about it? Asmongold will still steal so many views from the wider market, taking space for himself, leaving one creator with 10 less views, another creator with 5 less views, another with 30 less views, and so on. The actual theft is subtle and invisible, but it's still there

Good that you and Asmon reached an agreement, you guys are my favorite youtubers that make reactions. Very well put video/content as usual.
