AbNormalHumanBeing
Some weird, German communist, hello. Obsessed with philosophy (German Idealism and its subsequent evolutions) and history (mainly everything since the French Revolution), as well as the Fediverse. Secondarily obsessed with video games as a cultural medium. Also somewhat able to program, but not that good.

I mean - kind of? I do agree a lot of “reaction” content is bottom-of-the barrel shit, but it’s not like this one is just making funny faces and going “woaaah, nonono, they didn’t!!” or something. He does use the video as a jumping off point for his own commentary, providing his own perspectives (those segments are also edited with cuts, showing this wasn’t just turning their webcam on and rambling without any evaluation later). Just roughly looking through the preview thumbnails hovering over the video progress bar, easily more than 50% is talking about topics in the reacted video without even the reacted-to footage on screen.
