Awesome. My favorite are Europeans reacting to Toby Keith’s “Boot in Your Ass” (aka Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue)

IMO, YouTube has become a wasteland where desirable content people are actually looking for has been overly diluted by:
1. Fan made movie/TV series trailers
2. AI generated clickbait crap just for the sake of content creation for monetization (e.g., "look at these workers being masters at their craft" where the video splicing and narration voice is clearly AI)
3. Reaction videos (or a particular flavor of reaction video, something like, "classical piano teacher listens to Billy Joel's 'piano Man'")
Fortunately, all the above are fairly easy to spot.

Reaction videos are pretty popular on YouTube. Content creators film themselves reacting to movies, television shows, music, sports highlights, even other videos of content creators.
Usually the videos are titled “FIRST TIME WATCHING (insert movie here). “
I just find it hard to believe there are that many YouTubers out there that have never seen all of these movies and never listened to all of this music.

Has to be. No way all these people are watching Forrest Gump or listening to Led Zeppelin for the first time.

It’s championship wrastling the suspension of disbelief is a crisis with no vaccine!
Yes that Kentucky reaction video is the best one of all time.
Here is one of the Toby Ketih reaction videos I was talking about. I don't like Toby Keith but I like these reaction videos. It is just fun. I would not put this in the same category as the atrocious AI videos that are ruining YouTube these days.

A genuine classic. Like Shawshank, it never gets old.
