I used to occasionally enjoy watching random videos online. But this trend of people attaching their annoying and obviously FAKE reactions on top of the video is happening a lot lately. Aren't people bothered by this ? How is that even supposed to help with the content of the video ? I understand if they own the content of the video, but lately I see a lot of people doing it on completely random content.

I'm not sure what you mean... I haven't really gotten much of that at all, thankfully, as it does sound pretty annoying.

I think he means reaction content. Where some influencer or some other reacts to viral stuff or whatever. Most are shit.

But if you managed to find it there are some good ones where they add good content on top.

I personally am following a chef doing this reaction content. He adds a lot of advice and suggestions for the normal home cooks.

I thought reaction videos were passé. Is this a short video thing I'm too old to get targeted by?

Since Google wants to take the TikTok crowd, they are boosting Shorts. So content creators are pushing Shorts.
