I don’t understand why this is a thing? Who wants to watch someone nod their head to someone else’s content?

Just show the original video! How did this get popular and what is wrong with those that helped it to happen?

    Another reason could be that it makes the act of watching a video feel less lonely than it actually is. Reaction videos turn it into a quasi-social thing.

      Watching a video of a person nodding or laughing at dumb shit while alone is still watching video alone. So I don’t think this is it.

      It’s cashing in on a video worker having to put any effort into it. Watching this shit is like eating regurgitating food- with no credit to the cook.
