Reaction videos in general

[(Anonymous)]

I have friends that love them and I just don't get it. Like I logically understand because they've explained it to me, but I am never going to enjoy that kind of thing.

But especially don't get why people post videos with their heads popped up or a split screen where they just silently laigh or nod their head or just do nothing.

again, Japanese tv does this and no one can explain to me why. Nothing I know about Japanese culture can anthropologically explain it. I've been in anime fandom long enough to watch things the Japanese do become a meme, then a trend, then an established convention, so now I just blame it on Japanese media yet again.

DA

I don't get why there has to be some special reason why? It comes from TV talk shows where the hosts sit in a room with an audience and the clips of what they're watching are shown on a screen to them, then to the viewer at home the screen is on the main part of the TV with a little window with the hosts in the corner. It's just... standard 80s-90s TV, because they're not going to film people watching a screen.

Sometimes it's that simple.

no, it's not the same. the hosts - often a panel of 3-9 people depending on the premise - are stil in a studio, together. they're not with the people in the story, those people never appear in the studio, only in a video package produced earlier. for example, it's a show about..........uh, comedy? the schtick of the day is sending two teams of ostensibly normal people to different places to find a restaurant that serves a certain dish. and there's a little window in the corner of the screen where you get to see all three or six or eight people in the studio reacting to these shenanigans. for half an hour. never cutting back to the studio. never about a movie being shilled. maybe half the time one of the people on a team is an idol star but not always.

what is THATT??? that's not Jay Leno laughing fakely about a promo for a movie being shilled by his guest.

but that's what reaction vids, tiktok, etc are doing. they're aping the Japanese person in the window pretending to react thing.

DA Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I don't get it either, but it's been popular for like 30 years now, so it obviously works. And reaction videos are huge, so that obviously works too.

oh good you get me. I'm happy being the person who doesn't get why this is a thing and why it works for social media addicts but some part of me really wants to know where it came from.

Re: Reaction videos in general

I didn't get it either, until I watched a show that I just loved but no one I knew had watched it and wouldn't when I recommended it (which is fair, because I also do not control The Watch for myself either). I was browsing around youtube and ran into a reaction video series for that show and it felt like I was sharing it with someone who could see how awesome it was and was happy it was recommended to them and it scratched an itch. Now I watch a lot of reaction videos.

The who tiktok thing, though? I don't get that at all.

Re: Reaction videos in general

Yeah, I am so tired of recommending and recommending things I like just to get blank faces (and I know, I also do not watch recommendations most of the time). But (decent) reactors give sense of community. Also some reactors have interesting insights and help me sort my feelings and thoughts

Re: Reaction videos in general

What sort of reaction videos are we talking about here? I do like the ones where people watch a show and make comments while watching and talking and theorising about the episode afterwards. But it has to feel genuine.

I understand that people might overreact to keep viewers engaged and that many of the channels I watch are probably doing it as well, but when I stop believing that a reaction is genuine I lose all interest.
