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?

As a counterpoint, I like watching The Charismatic Voice - a trained opera singer reacting to pop and rock music vocalists, often the first time hearing them, and offering a great analysis of their vocal techniques. That's a reaction video done right.

As an example, watching her react to John Farnham's performance of 'Help' reduces me to tears.

    The last time someone made a similar complaint about reaction videos, I responded with a comment similar to yours regarding El Estepario Siberiano reacting to a Danny Carey performance and someone else responded to me explaining that an analysis video is much different than a reaction video and I tend to agree. I appreciate analysis videos where the person provides insight and context to what they're showing me that I might not understand on my own.

    That’s not what I’m talking about. And I love her too. She’s a trained artist listening to comment and teach on that art.

    I’m talking about some idiot that just sits there nodding looking like a clown.
