Reaktiovideot

Reaktiovideot, often translated as reaction videos, are a genre of content on video-sharing platforms where individuals record themselves watching and reacting to another video, piece of media, or event. The core of a reaktiovideo is the creator's genuine or performative emotional and intellectual response to the stimulus material. This response can range from laughter, surprise, and shock to tears, contemplation, or critical analysis.

These videos typically feature a split-screen or picture-in-picture format, allowing viewers to see both the reaction of the creator and the content they are reacting to. Common subjects for reaktiovideot include music videos, movie trailers, viral videos, vlogs, gameplay, and even other reaktiovideot. The appeal lies in the vicarious experience; viewers engage with the content through the creator's perspective, often finding entertainment or connection in their shared reactions.

The phenomenon of reaktiovideot has grown significantly with the rise of online content creation. Many creators have built substantial audiences based on their ability to provide engaging and relatable reactions. The genre also raises discussions about originality, copyright, and the nature of content consumption in the digital age. While some view reaktiovideot as a simple form of entertainment, others see them as a way to dissect and engage with cultural phenomena, offering commentary and initiating discussion.
