Reaction content is ba- ACK!!

[Anonymous No.]

Here is the letter written by indie Japanese vtuber Kasii, in response to her channel blowing up in 2023 thanks to a big streamer (Asmongold) reacting to it a few times over the year.
This is proof of the importance of reaction content for many online creators, and why it should lose its stigma within the vtubing sphere.

reaction content is parasitic leeching behavior by scumfuck parasite streamers with psychopath levels of calculated lazyness not to mention essentially intellectual theft. Lesser creators may benefit from it but it doesn't change the fact that the parasites are getting rich off of other peoples work. If you're a mid tier creator who is already making enough money, you won't be fooled by the clout handouts from asmonleech et al. all you'll see is someone stealing your content and putting his webcam over it.
It is inherently a morally repugnant thing to witness for normal people who aren't missing regular brain functions (ie psychopaths)

I've always found this discussion stupid because watching vtubers play games isn't much different from react content.
Let's face it, you're not watching these girls for their exceptional skill at these games, you're watching them for their reaction to the stuff that happens in the game. Replace the game with a video and it's not all that different.

Incorrect. The problem is the difference between the two which places them on unequal footing, but overall it doesn't have a net benefit for all targets of reacts. Besides he opened her stream a few times as opposed to watching a video she worked 100-200 hours on.

XQC levels of thinking. React content is intellectual theft, lazy, and in no way does it benefit these people at all. The small channels that blow up after this were already picked up by the algorithm to begin with otherwise they wouldn’t have gotten recommended to these terminally online motherfuckers.

Yes, absolutely.

In what world is rebroadcasting or redistributing content others created not in violation of copyright? Whether or not it will be pursued with legal action is a different question. I'm tired of hearing dumb gamers whine "how can Nintendo ban us from streaming a tournament" when obviously that's the default. People are just too relaxed about being allowed to violate copyrights.

Reactors don't make anything popular. They react to things that are already getting popular. Nobody watches anything again after watching someone react to it, though maybe livestreams are a possible exception with an effect similar to clips.

Reminder that you chose this path, she was tired, burnt out, and still wanted to be with you. But you ridiculed her about react content. You were all blind, you couldn't see the suffering she was in, you didn't really care, as long as you were happy at Guras expense.
I aint a chumbud, but I remember that stream vividly, her eyes changed that day, less expressive when chat hollered at her not to cheapen her content. I felt like the witness to something horrifying, the crowd over passionate yet oblivious. I saw what Gura saw that day, a mob and their insufferable weight. I don't blame Gura for choosing to disappear. I hope she is a lot happier being free of those crazy circumstances. Maybe her love of streaming will come back, but I will always remember those broken eyes.

That makes that particular react content fine, because the original creator benefitted.
But the usual case is that the reactor is making content out of someone else's work while the reactee doesn't get much at all out of it.

I'd say react content, having watched Asmon do quite a bit of it lately in fact, is more like "the streamer is acting like your buddy recommending you cool stuff to watch and sometimes having commentary on it" and there's also an air of "maybe you wouldn't have found or watched this yourself without the streamer, who doesn't know if he's even gonna like it, but we can watch it together and see what's up with it" which I would say as basically easing-in the audience to random stuff because at least this other dude you know is 'watching' it with you in a sense.

It's actually really parasocial as fuck feeling, as in the real definition of "this person feels like your friend" instead of the vtuber-specific meaning that's been ignorantly twisted to mean "stalker murder rapist incel hitlers."

I'd also say the problem with it isn't that it's inherently evil but because it's just so fucking, fucking easy for a streamer to do they tend to fall into a trap spamming it and basically they are demoting what they call streaming to being really just that kind of thing you do cruising around Youtube watching stuff only technically it's "content" if you comment on it out-loud. Sometimes Asmon will pause and actually talk/lecture for a couple minutes about a subject and that's kinda neat to hear his thoughts but also quite often he's just kinda mumbling "i agree" or something every minute or two and there's not a strong reason he needs to be there reacting.

>tl;dr in theory it can be nice and even useful if the streamer really-cares/thinks about the video and has a lot of interesting commentary to add, but in practice most streamers have jack shit to add to a video like ironmouse going "oooohh" and shit and they also abuse the shit out of the format to kill the good will people had for it, it's like the Minecraft spam of Twitch

I feel like this event is similar to what have happened over and over back in 2020-2021. A random JP indie is highlighted to a community so they get more views and subscribers, sometimes replacing the small but already existing JP fanbase.

There was a big controversy a few months ago when XQC reacted to a Lemmino video and basically played the entire thing on his stream while mumbling "Woah chat" every few minutes. Pretty sure Hasan also did the same thing and even left the room for 20 minutes while it kept playing. If they streamed some literal no name video I don't think it would have blown up nearly as much, but Lemmino is a big channel.

Good react content is basically like watching a movie you like together with a friend who hasn't seen it. It's a very specific feeling, parasocial for sure, but not really that different from watching a streamer play a videogame. Bad react content is either what you describe, or it's just extremely fake (repeating "this is crazy" every 10 seconds is a staple).

This! HoloEN had an opportunity due to how lax the laws are and you could make a lot of good content from it + possible collaboration angles. After boring content people look for refreshers and even educational stuff gets viewed.

Asmon benefits the most, a meager portion of his viewers trickling-down in this particular case, which isn't always the case because we already know the click-through rate on videos reacted to is extremely slim, does not change the fact that he is stealing content and the reactee ultimately loses.

Not all react streams are the same. Like >>65816439 says, video game streams are a form of react content, but obviously the streamer is heavily invested in the thing they're reacting to because they have to play the video game.
When the streamer is just watching YouTube for hours and occasionally saying "wow", they're not even producing content, they're just plagiarising someone else's content. If that accidentally results in some indie getting more viewers, that's great for them, but it doesn't really excuse how shitty most react streams are.

Well, it depends. There are streamers who just watch stuff one after another and do sounds, and there are streamers who do a lot of commentary during the watchalong.

The only reactions videos I really think are worth anything come from people that can use their own knowledge to provide a different perspective in the original content. I saw a good example of this when I saw someone who has a lot of experience doing pokemon nuzlockes react to someone doing one for the first time, adding their own knowledge to break down things that the average viewer wouldn’t catch. If this were all reaction videos I wouldn’t mind so much, but like 90% of the time its just the occasional laugh on top of a try not to laugh challenge or daily dose of internet video.

Reaction content CAN be done correctly and can be extremely good, but ONLY of the nature of the "reaction" part is transformative and intelligent in nature. There is no objective cut off, but consider Mystery Science Theater and Plinkett from Red Letter Media. Both these examples are purely reaction content, but they are highly transformative and contribute to media culture.
On one end, there are baindead e-whores who steal other content and plaster their webcam on top with nothing transformative at all, but on the other end there is brilliant stuff born from reacting to other content.

Video games require at least some effort to play. You'll never see a chuuba playing DMC V in their sleep but I have seen chuubas put "reaction" content on and then fall asleep while other people's content plays in full on their channel.
Even when you remove these chuubas from the equation, reaction content is divided into two categories:
A: the chuubas who sit there pausing the video constantly to ask pointless questions about the video that'll be answered when they let the video play again
B: the chuubas who let the video play in full and add nothing else to the video aside from making noises like

I don't like Asmon and refuse to watch most of his stuff but the one thing he does right is properly give commentary anf insights in thosr react videos. He also links the channel in question.

Sure, but you are still arguing in bad faith. The people who pirate for ideological reasons are doing so to stick it to large billion dollar corporations who they feel are adverse to the community. Pirating a game from EA is different than pirating a game from a single indie programmer.
Most streamers who do react content are doing one of the above as noted by this anon >>65827131 . They are taking content usually from a small content creator, rebroadcasting it on their own stream, and are not adding transformative content as noted by >>65827062 . Many are doing this solely to increase their CCV numbers and donations, which is why reaction content is so hated here. If a streamer or video creator actually adds transformative content to a reaction stream, then no one will be bothered at all. See >>65821525

its not intellectual theft but these people are cunts indeed and when it comes to different subcultures being reacted to from a large streamer perspective the consequences to these subcultures are like brigading.

its like when commentary cucks shit on someone online and turn opinion but reactors do it with even less consideration and more often a larger audience of brigaders.

this is the ONLY consideration of these e-cancer cunts in relation to vtubers. i fucking hate it when nerissa even breathes a mention from them, just like everyone was holding their breaths when a fucking tsunami of e-cancer cliques tried to leech off of gura during holoEN's start.

Why not? How are you any different than a fan from before early 2020 who wanted to gatekeep back then? They didn't want your ass and the shift in vtubing to happen just as you're feeling now about the future. So if you want to ignore the past and say it is what it is and thats the culture now, then, whatever happens happens and will be the future culture.

Anon, its the same people who think committing crimes like stealing is justifiable if the victim is rich or a corporation. Basically just a way to suit their narrative.

I don't think many people have an issue with react content when done right but the biggest proponents of this shit are always are always make the worst kind of reaction content. It's always the same names that come up about who is a leech about this shit and who actually adds to the videos or the content. Asmolgold, Hasan, xqc, can only put the level of effort when reacting they do cause they are so large that they can get away with it. They also do the most leeching kind of actions and match the meta data of the original videos that the people who make the originals and they put out their reactions only a day after the original and essentially stealing ad revenue. I would be fine if these reactors just did the reaction live on twitch and that was that but they upload a video on YouTube and compete for impressions and hurt the person they are reacting to.

Okay so if they were never were going to watch them then why watch the video if the excuse that these leeches give is that thier watching of the video is adding to that snaller creator they are watching by showing smaller creator to a larger audience. unless the goal of doing that is skim attention and free work and content off of people who actually work to make videos . Just say that you think it's okay for them to just skim free content off of them

Its literally a known quirk of the algo; it likes longer videos, so it'll often push reacts to a video over the original since the react is longer and therefore preferable from an ad perspective

Are /vt/ threads talking about what happened in a stream react content creators? Are /vt/ threads making shit up original content creators? Should people that shit on people that do react content also shit on people that talk about streams?

Asmongold didn't react to her, he opened a random persons stream and it just so happened to be her.

I don't think it's a good idea to rely on twitch fleshtubers featuring you to make it big. Too often they use it to extract favours, promising to promote your channel if you do xyz or sending their fans after you if you refuse. The things that go on behind the scenes in most of these twitch circles is pretty gross.

I stopped watching react content long time ago, well mostly, I still do click on asmon sometimes, very rarely. I don't consider it a reacting with friend, but I don't know, it's just fun, looking at chat to see them react to a thing you like, enjoy, or want to share. Also some shit I would never watch if not for react content. I wouldn't find someone like Internet Historian or animal tierlist channel, I don't remember the name.
I can't say I'm feeling parasocial towards streamer/chat reacting, but it's nice to share a thing, that I can't share with anyone else I guess.

Also, to add, it's the same with a lot of games and vtubers. Im catching up on Bijou's DMC5 vods, do you really think I'm there for her B for Bijou mission rank? I'm there to see her reaction to the story and cutscenes, to see if she is having fun, because I had lots of fun with that game. I guess it's not really react content since she put an effort to get to those cutscenes...
