is the guy a cat?

That would mean I would want to take him to the vet and get his microchip checked and then keep him when it wasn't registered. But I don't want him. I might put out food for him but I am not letting him into my house.

Can someone explain what soyface is without making me look at a picture of it? I'm pretty sure I won't like it.

Its just a sort of mouth wide open expression. Its used a lot in YouTube thumbnails. Generally looks like an expression of faked shock or surprise.

Well op imagine you really want to be famous and make a lot of money as a "youtuber" but have no creative talent or ability. So what can you do? Well you can film yourself "reacting" to someone else's creations and hoping enough people can relate to your total lack of personality to fund a patreon. You can increase your chances of success by weaving politics into your reactions to rile people up and get them goodly mad at ridiculous things. Another great trick is to have tits. Or just copy some other popular reaction person's entire schtick since you know what works, or hell, film yourself reacting to other reaction videos, or maybe even have one channel that's just you reacting to your own latest reaction video like it's one big matryoshka doll!

And that, op, is what's up reaction videos, let's plays, and basically 99% of youtube.

Seriously what is going on with youtube reaction videos? I found one girl that cries about every song, that was somewhat entertaining and some people do music theory type analysis which is kinda cool, but most reaction videos seem like just somebody nodding along to the music and it's basically just the whole video played straight so it's like basically copyright infringement. Have you found any good reaction videos? Maybe I'm missing something? I get recommendations for them all the time.

Yeah no, I like the ones that are (e.g.) professionals in some kind of music-related thing and actually talk about those aspects of what they're listening to. The rest are basically this decade's vast cultural wasteland, extended edition.

(At least they're not as soul-draining as those infinite numbers of animated horrors set to children's songs. What the gently caress, Youtube.)

The one that gets me is "a history teacher reacts" where he shows the full video people spend months animating and researching and just pauses every minute or so to go "yeah that's pretty accurate." Over a quarter million subscribers. The absolutely laziest of content.

Are they anything like the stupid rear end box opening videos where you just watch a guy open up a box with a rice cooker in it and then he says how much he likes the box the rice cooker is in after he took it out of the delivery box?

Tech unboxing videos is pretty much that. You can get two videos out of a first impressions video that way!

To be fair if they do this, and have ads, they are not worth watching. You can find better content.

get an uBlock Origin installed in your chrome browser or get a Youtube Vanced side loaded into your phone.

if they say like and subscribe block their channel.

While I agree with you, get the sponsorblock addon too, it can even skip the like and subscribe plugs. There's also sponsorblock support in the vanced settings it's pretty sick.
