I used to occasionally enjoy watching random videos online. But this trend of people attaching their annoying and obviously FAKE reactions on top of the video is happening a lot lately. Aren’t people bothered by this ? How is that even supposed to help with the content of the video ? I understand if they own the content of the video, but lately I see a lot of people doing it on completely random content.

    I think he means how more and more YouTubers have face can on while they play. It seems to have picked up steam over the last few years. I find it annoying as hell. Sometimes it’s a cut-down Livestream, which I don’t know why anyone does face cam there either, though I hate watching unedited content, it’s boring AF.

      Face cams on let’s play videos have been a thing for years. Even more so with livestreams. It’s rare for a live streamer to not have video when playing a game, and its detrimental to their growth and viewership to not have a face cam or vtuber.

        I personally like no commentary let’s plays with no face cam. I’m here to check out a game I’m interested in, not to suck some influencers dick or join a community that is way to big to effectively communicate in.
