should reaction videos be taken off of youtube
(1/7) > >>
Tactical Nuke:
essentially
do you think that reaction videos violate copyright/aren't protected by fair use

NOTE: reaction videos, in this thread at the very least, are classified as videos where the reactor basically uploads the video and watches it, without transforming it in any sort of way
this encompasses people like the fine bros, jinx, cjiscool and people like them
this does NOT include people like h3h3 or other commentary channels, and it does NOT include response videos

/discuss
SWAT One:
No. They're nearly effortless and imo in poor taste as far as creation goes, but no, people can post what they want.
Stick Man:
h3h3 basically forgeted that idea right in half the day they won their case. Reaction videos are eternal.
Ipquarx:
to make a sweeping statement like "all reaction videos are copyright infringement" is immediately disproven by H3H3 having won their lawsuit so no
Tactical Nuke:
I don't classify h3h3's videos as reaction videos. They're more of commentary videos, like what certain political users on the site do. That, and they're transformative.

I think I should've specified, I mean the people who sit in front of a camera and just watch other people's content without transforming it, channels like the Fine Bros and those guys who just watch a video and make faces.
