Exactly, Ethan is arguing that Reacting isn't bad, it's the intentions behind the reaction. Cuz reacting does draw away the original content creator's views.

[@trueMAXIMUS]

yeah that’s was the only thing that bothered me about nick’s video was that he didn’t seem to fully understand that a) ethan & hila are like…the people who ser the precedent for react content on youtube b) they DEFINITELY don’t hate all react content they just don’t like outright thieves like xQc c) he was specifically debating over KZbin CURRENT RULES & REGS. he wasn’t advocating for new legislature, he was just arguing about the rules that currently exist. and also HE IS THE ONE PERSON ON YT THAT UNDERSTANDS THESE RULES THE MOST. just felt like such silly outliers comments from nick when he’s like “i don’t fully agree with either party” and then say things that ….. 100% align with ethan’s views lol

@@trueMAXIMUS exactly Everyone can come to agreements that stealing videos and views is bad. People like Hasan and XQC just ruins react content for everyone else that does it. And what you said I can agree with, Ethan is standing strong compared to XQC in a debate. XQC is just there to argue over something he doesn't even know what he's talking about. Even more so he resorted to mostly side arguments and strawmans that had nothing to do with fair use and copyright rules/law. He didn't mention anything new to rectify the problems. Also he still yet to pay the 10x to Vincent and acouple other people that he so mentioned not answering Ethan straight up on the question if he even paid anyone back for stolen content.

@@trueMAXIMUS that's the thing XQC's entire fanbase is children and halfwits. Children are the most easiest fans to get and he's abusing it to his advantage. Hasan has no excuse at this either, the fact he had the nerve to defend XQC makes him one of the worst Co hosts I've seen yet in podcasts and or conversations. Ethan should've straight up found someone else for a cohost Should've gotten in touch with Efap. Mooler and Rags and the others whom I love their content they recently went over Ethan Vs XQC incident and they knew XQC was bullshitting and no taking it seriously but still had a reasonable conservation talk about the issues. Like this is why I kind dislike today's social media and communities. It's that social media is power in the content creation platforms. Someone with smaller fanbase won't go confront a bigger fanbase. They'd go to some like like Ethan or TheActman and or Efap. Like their people who understands everything they've been there. Especially with TheActman and everyone else destroyed QuantumTV xD for his abuse of copyright spams And honestly XQC doesn't deserve millions of dollars

Reacting to another creators work on twitch is one thing. Reuploading it to KZbin, unedited with little commentary is another. That’s direct competition on the same platform, and it’s hard to argue for it. Just respect other people’s work, not that complicated.

I won’t lie, I love react content, whether it be hasan reacting to Japanese apartments or a guy like gorthemoviegod reacting to memes and anime, it’s fun content to watch. And yeah as many have said before it feels like watching things with friends and that’s why I watch it. My problem with xqc’s brand of content is that he never elaborates or even says any opinions about what he watches. Also, if he was just a regular streamer/KZbinr then nobody would really care, but it’s the fact that one of the biggest streamers is this lazy when it comes to something like reacting to a video that pisses people off.

morgan & morgan is unethical as fuck. wild to see them sponsoring youtube content like this. they’re majorly disliked in the legal world by other firms *and* judges. they’re required to be non-cordial and inflexible with opposing parties, which makes them less likely to get beneficial settlements or beneficial concessions from the other side, more likely to get unfavorable rulings due to clogging dockets with housekeeping motions that judges expect people to work out on their own, and all of that drives up risk and expenses for clients. they’re a plaintiff-side personal injury firm, so you’d expect them to be “the good guy,” but they’re not - their tactics are harmful for their injured clients. edit: them paying youtubers for ad reads also might be an ethical violation in terms of rules surrounding attorney advertisements.

I think there are two things that are key here. 1. The difference between commentary and reaction. One is just someone silently watching a video, throwing in some oohs and ahhh. Commentary provides actually thoughts and opinions on topics. 2. For the love of god just cite the source and get permission from the original creators

[@ciciamanda.]

yes! I also think respect for the creator of the content they're watching plays a huge part. A creator who says they enjoy the content from the channel, makes it clear which channel it is, pays attention to the video, and adds their own thoughts and opinions is very different from a creator who just uses someone else's content as background noise. I've seen creators put on a video and then proceed to talk over it about unrelated things, play unrelated sound effects over it, go make food, etc. Those creators don't respect the videos creator.

No people do absolutely say that.

The fact that you consider someone going to the washroom as bad entertainment and get frustrated by it is beyond ridiculous tbh. All streamers take breaks unless they are doing a short stream. They’re just people, not robots. It would do you good to remember that rather than getting upset over something that is just part of being alive. Would you rather they piss in a water bottle under their desk or something? If so you desperately need to touch some grass dude.

[@buddermantheamazing]

I don't think the argument has ever been "You reacting to something directly steals views" like how you explained, because yeah that doesn't make sense and everyone knows that. The issue is when someone searches for something and they watch the reaction video instead of the original because it comes up first or has more views.

[@Smileyreal]

Yeah pretty much, in the video Nick says something along the lines of "it's not like those views would have gone back to the original creator" which sounds to me like a misconstrued view of what's typically argued. Darkviper for example argues that if these reaction videos didn't exist, the people who watch them would still probably have been browsing youtube and would've just ended up watching some other random video. So as far as i understand it the argument is never really that it steals views but that the views would've otherwise spread across the entire platform.

[@RayBertram-d7h]

Yeah, spread to people like the original creator. It just takes one person to share something at the right time for it to go viral. You're right most of the time, but most isn't good enough. Honestly these people could sew xQc and win for incurring substantial damages, but he only takes videos from people that don't have enough income to combat him in court. xQc would burry them financially like Matt Hoss would have done to H3 had it not been for Phil DeFranco. Think for yourself instead of fielding other opinions on the matter and regurgitating them. Y'all would know if you're frontal cortex was ripe already. But clearly you have no life experience, and your take was the least transformative shit I've seen since today's Sssniperwolf drop. You'll see in time that you're on the wrong side of history atm, and I feel bad for you.

[@umsimplescara]

You're way over simplifying it the anti-reactor's points. DarkViper, for one, has explicitly stated that commentaries are fine, where you can think and prepare things before recording. I could be wrong, but I believe he implied people like Danny Gonzales are not who he is talking about. No offense, but if they actually uploaded a reaction of your full video "in good faith," then why would they suck all of the value of the original out by making it a video they have now seen in its entirety. Someone who watched that reaction now has no reason to watch the original video and will likely pass it up if it shows in their recommendations which would lower the original's reach in the algorithm. Yes, if reactors didn't feature a certain channel's videos, those views would not strictly go to the original channel, but they would have to go somewhere. The fact that you mention that people who watch the reactor likely wouldn't watch the original otherwise means that the only one benefiting would be the reactor, who put in astronomically less work. DarkViper makes really good points and counter-arguments, some of the arguments you were saying were ones he has countered too and the points I made were paraphrases of his points, which implies you haven't heard his arguments from the horse's mouth and are creating a bit of a strawman.

No one has ever said “react harder”, this was such a dumb cope by Hasan last time there was react drama. Jay Exci’s criticism was that Hasan put their video on, *hid Jay’s channel name and video title from the screen*, left to make himself chicken tendies and take a dump while the uncredited video babysitted the viewers, came back at the end, said “duuuuuude” and “is this guy disabled” while eating his tendies, then closed the video the microsecond there was a hint of Jay talking about a project they were working on. Then, when people told Hasan he could have at least credited the video, Hasan had a meltdown, banned everyone, yelled: “what am I supposed to do, DIE?!?!?” and pretended people were asking him to react harder. Both Hasan and xQc are incapable of accepting the mildest of criticism. xQc just has a lot more adderall than Hasan.

DarkViper's position is perfectly sane and logical, and pretending to misremembering his name while flashing a picture of him on screen is incredibly lame. Reactors are profiting off the hard work of others by streaming (and later uploading to YT) low effort reactions. If people were not watching react content they would be watching *something* else, so it is injurious to original creators on aggregate. Simply providing your opinion while watching an entire video is not fair use. It's not close. Want to know how I know this? Because not a single one of them is reacting to the latest Marvel movie or NFL game while showing it in its entirety. They don't do this because they would get DMCA struck in a heartbeat by entities that don't need to give af about any negative backlash from crybaby reactors and their fanboys. You can easily provide an opinion or reaction without showing the thing in its entirety. But that would require work off stream. And god forbid these parasites have to do any work.

I disagree with your take. It’s not about ruining their channel and stopping them from being a creator, it’s stealing. It’s someone’s hard work and intellectual property. I understand and Ethan brought up during the “debate” that sharing content between friends and coworkers is different because you’re all under the agreement of mutual exposure, but there is a rule book about reacting to videos when you don’t have that. It’s like you’re running an art gallery that people have to pay to get in but all the artists aren’t even aware their art is in it and they aren’t getting a kick back on it. It’s theft, and while it’s not ill-intended it’s still harmful. The reason, especially people in the media space, work is protected is thanks to Ethan and the countless cases he won to protect people’s work. To say that it being harmful isn’t the norm when Ethan to this day still helps creators in court because of it is kinda crazy.
