Parasocial relationships are becoming quite more accepting. Look at Twitch, YouTube streams etc people in that chatroom are on DAILY and talk to the person streaming as if they are actual friends. Seems like reaction channels are becoming the same
What’s stopping a guy from Cinemaphile from making his own react channel and catering it towards autists? It’d be highly viewed once people here noticed it
it's interesting to hear certain reactions from specific people i.e. someone who was involved in the production of a film or an expert in a relevant field.
other than that I have no fricking clue why anyone would watch this garbage.
>What exactly are they providing that generates the views that these videos get?
I've wondered about that too, I think viewers are seeking someone agreeing with them about their favourite movie or whatever.
I watched a few "vocal coach reacts to.." and "fighter pilot reacts to..." vids where I wanted to see if they liked the thing I liked (or conversely, hated what I hated) but obviously they nearly always did or wouldn't do the video.
Once I realised I was nearly always just watching a video to see someone agree with me, I stopped watching them.
Once in a while, some expert can provide a useful bit of info on something but emotional reactions about how scary or cool something is are just a kind of masturbation.
zoomers don't have the attention span to actually watch a movie with their friends without looking at their phone every 5 seconds, so they have to get someone else to do it for them
It's the equivalent of showing a movie you like to your friends, except since zoomers don't have any actual friends they develop obsessive para-social relationships with people on youtube and twitch as surrogate friends instead.
Zoomers are so dumb they think this concept is deep. Watching other people do shit is all they know. Just like how they watch people play games. Fricken moronic generation
Zoomers watch them so they know how to feel about thing
Current generation has no identity so it burrows from "influencers"
i assume its children and mentally ill people
the same people who make channels like pewdiepie become enormous with just basic shitty content

It's overwhelmingly guys in their 30-40s watching.
>It's overwhelmingly guys in their 30-40s watching.
I suspect the age of viewers corresponds to the people who were the primary pop culture consumers whenever the media was released new
Classic Rock reactions will appeal to Boomers and Gen X
80's stuff will appeal strongly to Gen X and older millennials
Game of Thrones reactions will appeal to younger millennials
so on and so forth
Because it gives people the fantasy they are watching a movie with their friends right beside them on the couch. Just chilling, reacting to dump stuff is now outsourced and gone digital. Imo, it's a small symptom of the hellscape we're all gonna be in very soon, but this is normal.
Because it reaffirms your love for something, if you can't experience it for the first time again, watching someone experience it for the first time vicariously satisfies that feel.
Humans are genetically hard wired to share knowledge
This is the fundamental basis of all human progress, this desire to share knowledge
Everything from don't eat mushrooms with red caps to mix these 3 items to make boom powder to modern universities and the internet are based on this one trait
We feel this strongly whenever we see or hear something particularly interesting, we immediately want to share with a friend, and since we particularly love TV Movies and Music we are addicted to sharing our finds with people
Unfortunately after a while you have told everyone you know about every great band or movie in your playlist and this desire goes unsatiated
Reaction vids are all people pretending to see or hear something for the first time, thanking people for suggesting it, and acting blown away by how cool the new thing is
It allows people to vicariously enjoy that sharing with a friend experience, a feeling many people find addictive
She looks like she’s taking a shit and the dude behind her is very excited at the prospect
Zoomers watch them so they know how to feel about thing
It's comfy to watch someone else's reaction to something you liked I guess, especially if you usually watch stuff alone and feel lonely
Maybe if its a genuine reaction, which is exactly not what the youtube react channels provide.
Checked
Wouldn’t watching other people socialize exacerbate loneliness? I feel like watching other people do things that you can’t would make it worse

Probably wouldn't be able to hear anything over their breathing

the world is moronic and gay.

Some people are entertaining to watch their reaction, especially horror and thrillers.
Reactoubers are absolute bottom of the barrel content “””creators””” right from its first conception. Absolute leechers.
the youtube twitch equivalent to movies
aka low IQs, parasocial relationships involved
Don't forget how voyeurism has become the norm with smartphones so zoomies absolutely have to watch random shit to feel passively connected.
zoomers don't have the attention span to actually watch a movie with their friends without looking at their phone every 5 seconds, so they have to get someone else to do it for them
If you spent 5 minutes inside the mind of a normie you'd have a nice day
It's the equivalent of showing a movie you like to your friends, except since zoomers don't have any actual friends they develop obsessive para-social relationships with people on youtube and twitch as surrogate friends instead.
I can get the experience of rewatching a movie condensed down to 10-20 minutes of the best moments.

Yes, civilization is in a lot of trouble

Proof?

Seeing other people being emotional about something you like validates your own feelings about it.
Popcorn in Bed provides me with being able to pretend I'm showing movies I like to my wife.
>Why do react channels even exist?
Now, what the frick compels a person to pay for a free product
Look at all the included perks
>to watch a long
am i just a coomer or is there a sexual undertone in the naming of her tiers?

>36:15
you could watch the first half of this movie and decide for yourself if you want to finish it, wtf is wrong with these parasocial homosexuals?

The Opster is desperate for friends.

same as (easily understood movie) EXPLAINED. people don't trust their own judgment anymore because of too much "ACKSHALLY" posting online
