Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing?
y0kai@anarchist.nexus 1 day agoIdk if watching someone play a game counts as a “reaction” video. In my mind a reaction video is a video that shows someone watching a YouTube video that you probably don’t even get to see unless you go watch that video on your own.

They are generally reacting to games they have not previously played. Not always, but a very good chunk of the time. Especially the one-offs and not the long-plays.

That’s a fair take, I’m just not sure that’s what op means. Perhaps I am wrong. My mind just files gaming videos separately from “reaction videos”, I think because the gamer is actively taking part in the game, rather than reacting to what someone else has already recorded and posted.
If the gamer is just watching someone else play a game and reacting to that, then it would fall into my idea of a reaction video.

I should start twitch streaming myself watching other twitch streamers stream. I’ll be the biggest streamer streamer I’ll be rich.
