Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing?
AA5B@lemmy.world 5 hours agoWhat if it’s a political reaction by “the other side”? Where I’ve noticed it is political commentary where they’re holding someone up for ridicule, but they don’t add anything of value other than showing it to a different audience in a different context.

Isn’t political reaction content just pushing hate?

Sometimes. But sometimes you might consider it fact-checking or parody, especially based on whether you agree.
I think that’s arguable but the fundamental point here is what value is being added? I guess I posted partly in response to the point about small content creators where this is an all too common occurrence that probably does no real harm.
I find them annoying even when I agree with them because reaction videos with no actual commentary added are just wrong
