Do you guys enjoy watching reaction videos? (1 Viewer)

[StirFriedPanda]

what kind of reactors?

oh that's interesting, what is their channel?


i see, i understand it's not everyone's cup of tea

Depends, i like when Music Video directors or Producers react to kpop

wow thank you for the recommendation, these are so many

i get into this problem too

ohhhhh he does? Who ? Young K maybe?

I'll find the video. They went to high school together I think.

 

[kimsguardian]

yes, especially the ones with same biases as me like him for example
​

 

[PloryWinxyMYBlnk]

I'll admit that I do. But, I tend to re-watch the MV's more than viewing the fans' reactions.

 

[ChiaraStar169]

I just subbed, he's hilarious!

 

[Moguri]

I avoid them, they always feel so fake.

They’re so fake 99% of the time

I used to watch them.. but yeah

One day I heard a story from an alleged former reactor, who said all the reactions are fake and the explanation he gave was: Only hardcore fans of a group would seek out nieche content like reactions to your faves new M/V, so if you say something negative they will be furious and you lose the only audience you could have

That really made sense to me.. so I checked some of the channels I watched and looked at their reactions to different groups and yeah.. same excitement about everything

I could not watch any of them since then

 

[ichigohon]

Nah. When I was 13/14 yeah, then I'd leave hate comments if they hated the music video I liked.

This is my problem with reactions as well. You can't be genuine because you'll get a bunch of people that hate your opinions. People love to hear your opinions until they disagree with you.

Love this reactor

good you better stream XD

i seem to be a hardcore fan then, but i dont bother to leave hate comments, if they disagree. i only comment if they say some outlandish stuff like ''xy def lipsyncing they cant sing well etc.''

Nah. When I was 13/14 yeah, then I'd leave hate comments if they hated the music video I liked.

that's not too healthy for you and for the reactor.




In a perfect world it would be possible that no reactor gets hate, and i get why they react positively to everything. I think one solution could be to not compare musicians maybe and just objectively tell what you like or don't like about a song, and end with ''But maybe you think differently, please leave it in a comment respectfully.''
But yeah.... who knows if that's possible

I agree, I don't anymore but when you're a 13/14 year old you act stupid lol. Obviously, now that I'm an adult I've significantly mellowed out. I logged into one of my old K-pop forum accounts ages ago and the things I said while hilarious were a bit cruel.

Like, during some bullying scandal in 2015 or so I asked a girl "who are you going to assault at school in honor of your bias felon" like christ 14/15 year old me that's a bit much.

ofc you are a hardcore fan, you are even active on a kpop forum

Not comparing helps, but I do not think its possible. Some fans will always get furious if you do not praise their faves

Yeah, it's okay i was dumb too
When you're young you think the world is black and white, but it's pretty diverse and mulitcolored instead. And we def took kpop way more seriously, i dont anymore

C'est la vie

I actually got into kpop through a reaction video. But theirs was less fake seeming, and it was clips of multiple mvs not just one. More of an introduction to kpop

 

[PloryWinxyMYBlnk]

good you better stream XD

Nope. I don't need asses spewing garbage about me.

 

[ani07]

depends on the the person reacting. I do have a 2 or 3 I watch soemtimes.

 

[RandAlThor]

yep, but its hit or miss.

 

[Selfmate]

sometimes

We gotta be selective my friends

 

[chrisjourney]

In my opinion, the girl who makes the funniest reaction videos to kpop mv's is sillypak. I think she really likes kpop and her excitement is genuine even if she acts all crazy and wild. Here's her channel: https://www.youtube.com/@sillypak

 

[mysteric]

oh that's interesting, what is their

they're actually friends of this indie band mimik banka so all their reactions are on the band's account on youtube and bilibili (I prefer bilibili because of the barrage but that's just a personal thing)
the fav thing I learnt from that channel is that berlin psycho nurses were almost named dusseldorf psycho nurses (they had a really robust music scene in the 80s) but settled on berlin
