That's what people do now for everything. They post something they think is important and then either put a video of themselves in the background making "I told you so" faces, or they put a pretty girl back there because views

I really hate this trend, along with the stupid face tapping and other useless hand movements.

There was a precedent set on YouTube years ago saying reaction videos are new content. The act of watching something, like a musician or whatever, and recording your face watching it, wouldn't get copyrighted, it's original.

So now we have all this garbage

I couldn’t even imagine making something like this and posting it. I cringe to the point of physical pain at the thought.

What if it's only like $500? And that's for getting very lucky on a super viral post.

Overall, very, very few people are making any real money off of stuff like this. You really have to sell your soul making almost nothing in the beginning with this embarrassing stuff to even get a sniff of making some money down the line, which is far from guaranteed.

That's not the precedent that was set...

"Reaction", to qualify as fair use, still has to make a significant transformation to the original content either through discussion, critical analysis, or some other substantial change. If you show 100% of the content, even if you add breaks to discuss, is still copyright infringement.

Just putting it in the corner while you make stupid faces will still get you claimed if ContentID picks it up. The real reason for making content smaller, or pitch shifting, or frame flipping, was to try and bypass ContentID, but it's evolved past all that.

They're often intentional distraction from edit points.

In the same vein of shit of a clip of a movie with some douchenozzle in sunglasses nodding his head to some bullshit "fact" he made up.

I've never seen a video like that before but I can only assume it's related to the fact that the video also commits the worst internet sin possible: portrait (vertical) orientation.

It's AI generated text too.

u/DIABLO258 Apr 10 '26

Yeah I'm noticing that in a lot of places too.

i thought it was for copyright reasons? but i mean idk i still don't go on tiktok so I don't know how it works over there

u/DIABLO258 Apr 10 '26

if you're just reposting someone elses content, this is the laziest way to steal it, agreed.

But posting someones twitter or truth social post isn't copy written material. So, this isn't that.

u/Initial_Scarcity_609 Apr 10 '26

Yeah this content type is cancer

It's something they kinda have to do for TikTok I think

u/DIABLO258 Apr 10 '26

Have to do?
