Reaction videos

[Trax]

I'm embarrassed to say this, but am I the only one who enjoys watching these listener "reaction" videos on YouTube? Whether it's people discovering The Beatles catalog for the first time or listening to Black Sabbath's War Pigs for the first time, maybe they are all clickbait and fake, but I still find them entertaining. Consider it a guilty pleasure. There seem to be many of these types of videos, so I can't be the only one watching. If you don't know what I am referring to, check this out:

I love watching reaction videos. A couple favorite songs to see people react to are Judas Priest's "Painkiller" and Rage Against The Machine's "Down Rodeo." Oh, and any reaction to the Northern Boys. But I watch a lot of music reaction videos. Beastie Boys, Weird Al, Faith No More & Mr Bungle... etc etc etc.

Thank god. - maybe I'm not as lame as I thought, ha ha

I also watch a few. The two guys from Las Vegas, and the well experienced but often over exuberant woman.

Lost in Vegas? I watch them and Andy & Alex.

I like to watch The Charismatic Voice and the Rob Squad in particular, but I'll watch anyone if they aren't totally annoying.

Andy and Alex can be annoying..just saying’. But they pick really good music to react/mini review.

I like to watch videos where young kids, like 10 year olds, give reactions to Led Zeppelin or heavy metal. Their reactions are priceless.

Never watched Andy and Alex. I do like the kids reacting to old stuff videos. I've watched some Lost in Vegas, they're alright. I also watch Jamel, Doug Helvering, Trash Talkers (aka "Rappers React..."), but I mostly just search for certain songs or bands and watch people react to them rather than by specific people (except to avoid a few I don't like watching).

I've watched most of the popular ones. I think in the beginning, there's a genuineness that came with them, but I seriously question all of them now. It's such a lecherous thing, glomming on to someone else's work, and then crying about copyright claims.
Doug Helvering is the worst. His act is so tired.

It's like reading um..record reviews. It's all about the retweets and stuff, isn't it?

I will say that the compilation reaction videos, like the one in the OP are funny.
