Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing?

Watching a video of a person nodding or laughing at dumb shit while alone is still watching video alone. So I don’t think this is it.
It’s cashing in on a video worker having to put any effort into it. Watching this shit is like eating regurgitating food- with no credit to the cook.
