In summary, reaction videos are a type of online video content where individuals or groups of people record their live reactions while watching a particular video or media. These videos have become increasingly popular on various social media platforms such as [[YouTube]], [[TikTok]], and [[wikipedia:Twitch|Twitch]]. Creators of reaction videos react to viral videos, music videos, movie trailers, and other content. The popularity of reaction videos can be attributed to their ability to elicit emotional responses from viewers and serve as a form of social commentary. Reaction videos come in different styles, ranging from over-the-top reactions to more analytical commentary. Some creators prefer to react in an exaggerated manner, while others provide more thoughtful and insightful commentary. Reaction videos can serve as a way for viewers to experience a video without actually watching it themselves, allowing them to see how others perceive the content. Despite their popularity, reaction videos have also faced criticism for their lack of originality and potential copyright issues. Some creators may use copyrighted content without permission, which can lead to legal issues. Additionally, some people view reaction videos as unoriginal, as the creators are simply reacting to someone else's content rather than creating their own. | In summary, reaction videos are a type of online video content where individuals or groups of people record their live reactions while watching a particular video or media.
