    many find “reaction videos” a source of amusement

    It sucks that I get nothing from such videos. I do enjoy experiencing things directly, and I even enjoy reviews or no-commentary no-selfie-video playthroughs of some games, but as soon as it’s about making soypoint-1 faces I’m out.

      idk, it sounds like that might be a superpower. “congratulations! you are now immune to parasocial relationships”

      at least it’s not ever-growing nose hairs or something

        Don’t get me wrong; I like some Youtube content, including narrated reviews and no commentary playthroughs of games, but as soon as I see that a portion of the screen is a perpetual soypoint-1 face to tell me how I should feel every second of the video, even if I’d otherwise like the content, I’m out.

        Criken2 comes to mind. I found his stuff hilarious until he started doing that format.
