Out of touch boomer here - can someone please explain the appeal of these "reaction" videos?
imagine the smell
Just go to the zoo and visit the shared open area after the panda has left and they let the great apes in for their 2hrs.
zoomer no friend
People want their taste to be validated, they want to know if others enjoy the same stuff they do
This all sounds profoundly pathetic. These videos have millions of views.
They are for losers who have never known the joy of sharing a movie with a friend who has never seen it.
Friend simulator
nice feet
my fav sub-genre is black people reacting to white things
close follow up is the roastie-reacts genre
Find the ones with In the Air Tonight and Manhattan Skyline
Ultra kino
>monteBlack?
i got that reference
>Megadeath
>white thing
Black twitter is enough entertainment.
Are they even human at this point? Were they ever? I don't understand how supposedly I can be the same species as these people and yet share so little in common. In this case, mountain climbing isn't something that interests me, but I sure as hell understand why people do it. They're just making shit up to deepen divide.
If you take the "out of africa" theory of human evolution and migration, then remember that these blacks are the descendants of whatever humanoid creature that DIDN'T leave africa.
They didn't look beyond the hill, they didn't decide to leave due to starvation or predation or shitty environs.
They had no imagination, no will.
They stayed and stagnated up until others returned and dragged them 100,000 years into the future.
These creatures you talk about are the end result of this.
Any monumental achievements besides fricking and having their soundclouds/prank channels blow up is completely foreign to them.
You know we had a nig president right?
And that's why they voted for him. Not because of any of his past achievements but purely because he was black. That's what he's remembered as to them, they muh fuhggin black president.
Pure blood Sub-Saharans have DNA from a mystery meat hominid nobody else has and at the same time they lack the Neanderthal DNA everybody else in the world has.
That should be enough for them to be classified as a different species, but of course modern academia will never do that.
It's like 5 tweets dude, you can find 5 idiots on the internets saying dumb shit about any topic under the sun.
this album cant be denied by nobody period!! mmhm mh
The comments to those videos are pure cancer. It's full of white liberals filled with white guilt. They are genuinely desperate for any form of positive validation from a Black. Can't really blame the Black folks for cashing in on them.
Liberals are not watching these lmao. It's all conservative old boomers trying to make a connection and prove they're not racist.
there's a parallel to this with white people reacting to rap and all the comments are black people saying how great this white person is for appreciating their music. we're not so different.
Too many boomer women took the workpill and had kids too late. These kids turned out to be autists
Old women produce downies; it's old man sperm that makes autists.
I watch ASMR and I look down on these people
It infuriates me that they won’t give out Lynette’s socials.
I think its a friend simulator basically, you can parasocially feel like you're having fun with someone else watching some dumb video
I never thought of it like that, but you're completely right. brb, going to pray to sky daddy for an asteroid.
>There are over 7 billion people in the world. With social media alone, there is a huge percentage of the population that is completely alone and detached. With that comes the necessity of any sort of interaction whenever you can get it. Before it was guys wasting thousands on cam girls, and phone sex lines. Before that, hookers and strip clubs.
>Now you have Twitch, YouTube, Onlyfans. All that without having to leave your home or any restrictions of how much you spend. It is really sad and predatory for people who are lonely. You might say, they're idiots for giving them money but they only do so because society has left them no choice since they have been push out of it. Some of the ASMR channels that make girlfriend experience videos, shit like that should be illegal.
I've never given a penny to any of these channels. Even the girls I really like or the guys I'd probably be able to enjoy a beer with.
Not quite, though in a broader sense.
They exist because people need consensus cues.
Many people (npc types) don't want to be the outlier in society, so they need to gauge the reactions of others in order to confirm and validate or just create how they believe they should feel or think about something instead of coming to and sticking by their own resolutions. It's the reason why things have gotten so fricking bad. The media uses this need in the masses in order to manipulate them, which is why they ram certain truisms and ideologies down your throat every which way 24/7. This has been a trick for forever. Consider the laugh track back when people watched TV, however we're past laugh tracks and now they're pushing destruction.
i used to watch them when i was a kid
4 years ago
heh
zoomers out
Blacks have no soul
I am deeply lonely
Why are you so lonely when you got us, homosexual?!?
A lot of the responses here I believe are on target, but there's something even more primal about it. It's like asking "why are people more likely to click a thumbnail with an exaggerated reaction face". There's some monkey-brain thing that makes a lot of people like watching other people smile and laugh at stuff, it's like a sympathetic response thing.
Personally I have never watched any of these reaction videos (and prefer quiet, mostly empty theaters), but I'm a dorky nerd so what do I know.
It's for lonely people who want to see how someone else reacted to their media. Yeah, the videos are low-effort but it reels in a lot of views.

From my mind it started with Game of Thones red wedding episode. The show was massive and people who wouldn't normal watch such a show about medieval fantasy were getting drawn into it. That episode caused such a shock to the viewer that people wanted to record their friends and families reactions to it.
I don't know if the show actually engineered the reaction craze or if it happened organically but that was when I first become aware of these videos. Then came Sherlock jumping off the roof. David Tennant's regen in Who. What other classic moments have been reacted to to death?
That Star Wars gay who cried at last skywalker trailer or whatever, and the bar reactions to GOT with that big titty slampig
I dunno but I block them and recap channels in my feed. Doesn't stop Youtube from recommending their copies on me though.
holy shit that soimouth
Is this legal? I know pubs pay thousands each year to show sport and they're just watching HBO
OH NOOOOOOOOO the Mountain killed whatshisname guyinrobe! Not him!!!! So shocking!!!
