My New Years Resolution is to keep doing what I did last year because y'all seem to like it a lot lol. A 20-ish minute mini-documentary every Monday at 3:15pm EST. There are 53 Monday's in 2024 so that means I need 53 topics. Who should I make a video on this year? 

I wanna thank Drake for inviting me to Toronto 🔥 

Tried out a new style on my 2nd channel! 

There is a LOT of conversation about YouTube/Twitch Reactors and how they "Steal" content.
The main problems people have are that these reactors essentially just watch videos, like mine, and provide little-to-no additional commentary but reupload their reactions and either:
1. Get more views (and more money) than the person who made the original content
2. Steal algorithmic traffic from the creator which essentially hurts their views.
Most people in defense of the reactors say that these videos are good exposure for the original creator and as long as they link the video in the description, then the OG creator shouldn't be upset.

I will share my experience..

Nearly every video I upload is reacted to by big streamers like XQC, Mizkif, Hasanabi, Im Dontai etc.  As well as small streamers too. Some provide more commentary than others. Often they reupload the videos to their YouTube channel. When I had 500k - 1M subs, this did help my exposure a lot. These people often shouted me out and my videos would gain additional views. One particular example Penguinz0 reacted to 2 of my videos and I gained the most subscribers I ever had in 1 day in my entire YouTube career. Truthfully, I like watching people react to my content, even if they hate it and call me a dumbass, it helps me get better.

However as my channel got more popular I noticed the exact opposite in performance. These days when big reactors upload their reactions to my content, I feel that it almost stunts the growth of my videos temporarily. But I try to focus on topics that will get views over a long period of time so it ends up being okay in the long run. My frustration comes in when a reactor has their video monetized and my original video is demonetized/age restricted. But that's YouTube's fault not the reactors. OR what's happening now is people on TikTok/Facebook are straight up stealing my videos, not crediting me, and actually just claiming they made the vid. But that's a separate issue lol.

Ultimately, I don't care if people react to my content. I understand the argument that it's "lazy" or whatever. But the way i see it.. if you want to watch someone eat food to my video, chances are I wasn't going to get your attention in the first place, so at least my creation can get spread vicariously through reactors. 
Also, my videos/resources wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the hard work of researchers,  journalists, celebrities, podcasters, and other digital creators. We are all kinda "borrowing" content from one another. 

That is just my experience, My team and I are very grateful for every one of you that decides to watch our videos. 

I dropped the song of the Summer.. “Party Crasher” Music Video out now (2nd slide) 🔥 

People on Twitter don't like the title of my video. 

I'm sorry I didn't post on Monday. My video was ready and uploaded over the weekend but YouTube won't monetize it, so I am working thru that.. But it will be worth it once it's uploaded 🙌
