I deplore YouTube "reaction videos". That's a trend that needs to die. I made the mistake of watching, one time, a reaction video of GoT "Hold the Door" episode (so much exaggerated and poorly acted emotion in the video). From that point on I was getting reaction videos dropping on my landing page every time I went to YouTube. I made the mistake of checking out a reaction to Megadeth's "Rust in Peace" (mind-blowingly great album btw, so technical). About a minute in to the video I wanted to shove ice picks in my ears and eyes after watching this guy stop playback and comment, stop playback and comment, stop playback and comment. Don't even get me started on the stupid faces he was making to emphasize how much he was enjoying the album. D-I-E! reaction videos!
Agreed. Reaction videos are a plague upon the internet. One of many plagues, but definitely one I particularly dislike. I wish there was a setting I could check on youtube to not show them in my searches.
On a more positive note, my sister gave me the new Chelsea Wolfe album "Birth Of Violence" on vinyl for my birthday. Gonna blast it when I get home from work today.
The only 'reaction' videos worth my time are the Marthyn Stefanovic (sic?) drum teacher videos, becau/se his reaction to certain parts is to stop the video of whoever he is analysing, and break down exactly what they are doing, how to play it and it's actually really cool.
Then Samus got wind of it, and did a response to one analysing his stuff. It was pretty funny.
That I can see value in. But I would say that's more a musical analysis video than really a reaction video.
A better reaction video is people reacting to Susano'o trying to use Godpress at range. I did one demonstrating how Tager can fraud him out of such a move with grounded command grabs.
I have read this twice but still don't understand.
