A U.S. court has issued a ruling that could have serious implications for the YouTube "reaction" videos created with stream-ripping tools.

      I don’t mind the ones where a professional points out everything wrong with a show about their profession.

        I am sure there are exceptions but from what I can tell about my limited time spent on YouTube there is far more things that are pointless regurgitating and content creation to have created content kinda videos out there. Ymmv

      I would filter the word “reaction” but I like chemistry videos. So instead, whenever I see a reaction video, I block the entire channel.

      Replace “reaction videos” with “brown people” and you might understand why it’s a bad idea to outlaw annoyances

        What? How can you compare people to reaction videos?

        And that thin-veiled message about “brown people” being an annoyance. . . . are you doing this on purpose?

        I’m fascinated by this huuuge strawman.
