After the end of 2005, [[screamers]] and [[shock sites]] gradually transitioned from sending chain-mails to reaction videos where people recorded themselves reacting to videos, animations, and more. This idea was intentionally made for people to record themselves getting scared or horrified by screamers and shock sites. These are very popular on many video-sharing sites, such as [[YouTube]]. In other words, screamers and shock sites are the first kick-starters to ever take off the trend.

The first screamer topic of this trend was [[What's Wrong With This Picture?]], which dated back to 2002. The earliest one was recorded on December 28, 2002, featuring a blonde woman reacting to the screamer, trying to find out what was wrong with it. Shortly after, the image of an eyeless woman appears with a loud scream, scaring the girl away. This video was featured in one of the episodes of ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]''.
