I love reaction videos. As long as they are reacting to an artist I love.
David McCullough writes solid histories, because he is NOT a historians. Professional historians are too obsessed with the pieties of historiography too actually do a good job of telling us what happened "back then." The academy is drowning in a sea of theory.

All the world's indeed a stage, and we are merely players, performers and portrayers, each another's audience inside the gilded cage...

Good afternoon Yin!!!

*Cancels plans to start doing MoFo guitar solo reaction videos.*

That would be where I attempt to play solos on video, and then act all surprised when I actually get through the entire thing. The surprise would be genuine.
Yeah, I think the only ones I've ever enjoyed much are the ones where someone listens to some classic song or guitar solo they've never heard. Even those can be real put-ons, but sometimes you can see genuine surprise.

In general I just have no patience for anything overtly performative, though, in this area or others.
Reaction videos are annoying AF.

Oh WOW! I have totally never seen / heard this thing before (seriously!). Watch me make exaggerated facial expressions and make obvious statements about it!
GOOD MORNING PEOPLES!!!!
(i hate myself now)
The cat just looked up at me from the litterbox like, “You gonna help me cover this s__t up or what?”
