This guy has an interesting take on Asmongold and react content as a whole.I generally loath react content too. It takes a long time/manpower to put together video essays. If you want to have knowledge on the subject matter, and put a lot into the production values, the hours add up exponentially. You better attempt to have a good take on the subject matter, otherwise it's nefarious if its being monetizing.
At least Asmond is entertaining, subjectively of course. He gives what I think are genuine responses/thoughts for the topic, and always links the creators he's reacting too. He has a huge platform too, so I'm sure he's made many content creators more successful.
The worst are those dipshits who do nothing but nod or raise an eyebrow, basically stealing content.
I enjoy Asmond's videos. I only knew him as the goofy skeleton looking guy who reacted to Bloodborne lore players before some of you guys started sharing his stuff like mad. I really don't get the hate for him either. There are things he says that I don't agree with, but who doesn't lol.
I like when he uses some British AI voice over for context, that always makes me laugh.
At 9:52 the creator explicitly describes how being reacted to by a big name boosted his channel.
