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?

Laughing is a social thing that people don't normally do by themselves (unless it's really funny), so I''m guessing that having a human face on screen to "enjoy the content with" ups the level of engagement. Similar to laugh tracks in shitty sitcoms.
