Why people watch reaction videos

Reaction videos have a broad appeal for several reasons. They offer unique viewpoints on content you may have already seen, similar to watching something with a friend, which helps in gaining new perspectives. Viewers can learn more about content, especially if the creator has expertise in the subject matter, providing valuable information. Reaction videos can help viewers decide whether to watch something themselves by providing initial impressions, aiding in formulating an opinion. These videos are relatable as viewers often see themselves in the reactions of others. Additionally, reaction videos are unscripted and genuine, offering authentic reactions in real time. With reaction videos covering various topics, there's something for everyone, ensuring a diversity of content.




Types of reaction videos to create

Reaction videos are a diverse genre, allowing creators to engage with a wide array of content. Here are some popular types of reaction videos you can create using the Detail iOS app:

  • Music video reactions: This is perfect for music enthusiasts, and these videos attract fans (and critics) of the artists you're reacting to.

  • Viral video reactions: These can help increase your view count since they're most likely already popular and relatable.

  • Movie trailer reactions: Leverage the buzz around an upcoming movie by sharing your thoughts on its trailer.

  • News & current event reactions: Share your reactions to current events like politics, entertainment, sports and more.

Be mindful of copyright rules

While creating reaction videos is fun, it's important to navigate the complexities of copyright laws, especially on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Reacting to other videos can lead to copyright claims and strikes if you use content that doesn't belong to you. A copyright claim means the platform has detected copyrighted material in your video, which can reduce your revenue. a copyright strike, on the other hand, occurs when the copyright owner requests the removal of your video, putting your channel at risk if you accumulate too many strikes.

To prevent copyright issues, familiarize yourself with the concept of fair use, which permits the use of copyrighted material under specific conditions such as commentary, criticism, education, or parody. Ensure your reaction video offers original commentary or educational insight, keep clips from the original content brief, and avoid using copyrighted music unless it is essential to the video. Additionally, contacting creators to seek permission for using their content can help reduce copyright concerns and foster positive relationships within the community.
