Is This What YouTube Is Becoming?
May 3, 2018 at 5:19 pm
We not only have Let's Plays... where people play video games and you watch people playing them. And some people enjoy it so much that they prefer watching people playing video games to playing video games themselves....
We not only have reaction videos where people react to shocking videos and stuff.......
We now have....... a guy who has songs recommended to them and he listens to them for the first time......... so the video is him with headphones enjoying the song for the first time.......!?!??!??!?!
Is this what YouTube is becoming? LOL
This guy is really weird:
It's like. I don't get it. You watch his face with headphones on while he listens to music? This is the new entetainment? Watching other people be entertained? LOL

One guy at work was talking about it. Sometimes, they get paid through sponsors if they get a big enough following of viewers.
The only time I watch a gaming video is if I'm stuck in a certain area and need help to progress.

Sure. What's wrong with that? Granted I normally just watch Let's Plays of games I don't own, and it gives me a good idea of whether I want to play it or not, but watching other people react to things kind of gives a sense of community. You're enjoying something with someone else.

I couldn’t even watch a quarter of the video. I don’t know why people like watching someone else listen to a song, but it’s definitely not for me.

LPs and reaction videos are baller. Why do you hate everything that's good in the world Ham?

Depends on the person reacting and what they are reacting to. If it's "watch your crush react to your singing in the shower" I'm sure that'd be entertaining. (as long as it's natural reactions and not acting for the camera)
But most of these reaction vids are pretty pointless and not worth a few seconds, but that applies to all forms of entertainment whether it be sports, tv etc.
