about a year ago i started ironically watching kids react but pretty soon i found myself enjoying it and branched out into teens and elders react. now they've started adults react and i don't know what to make of it. at first i thought it was just an excuse to get the ex-teens back on but it's mainly just showing middle aged people popular Vines. i don't know what the fine bros were going for with this one. with the kids you have them saying cute things, the elders can talk about how times have changed and i assume most of the people who watch this stuff are teenagers so having teens react makes sense, but i don't know what the audience is meant to get out of watching a 38 year old man laugh at a funny vine.

I am incredibly stupid
there are already too darn many middle aged people up in my interenet where they dont belong and i dont want any more of them, theyve got facebook and twitter to themselves now and that should be good enough for them

The kids and teens react were kind of fun for like 3 episodes a piece until all of them discovered they were getting mildly internet famous and starting intentionally overreacting to everything to stand out

i don't really like the teens react either for this reason but i think the kids and elders are pretty immune to it. it's still better than most react channels though because somebody else sets the videos up for them to react to so they're going in blind. i can't stand the channels where someone finds a popular video then records themselves reacting to it.

there's a bunch of small channels in korea where people get their friends to react to western stuff. it has potential because of the culture shock factor but they're all obsessed with reacting to celebrities and music videos.

Is there a channel of people reacting to videos of people reacting to things yet, or is this an unexploited niche?

it's time to take it to the next level, OP

start a youtube channel with recordings of yourself reacting to videos, then record your reaction to that, so on and so forth

then do this the rest of your life

The ones with kids reacting to old technology are pretty cool. Or at least they are when the kids aren't trying to ham it up.

I have zero desire to watch anybody react to a Youtube video though.

My reaction to most things is long bouts of silence followed by suicidal thoughts so it's nice to see human beings with real emotions letting me know how I should respond to things
