I don't know if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but reaction videos may be the cheapest form of theft.

I don't doubt that sincere reactions can be externalized. If not, I would have to discount every smile, every laugh, every cry. There is, however, a quite hollow performativity in this odd genre of videos in which we watch people watch.

The set-up is about as plausible to the premise to most porn scenarios. But, like porn, it gets views, so cheap tricks still get clicks.

John, why is it when you post, I hear Keanu's voice?
It's my dj voice.
Do you have s deep voice normally?
Closer to Terrence Howard
Back when I joined, because of my age and morbid taste in cinema and history, some members thought I may sound like Selma and Patty, Margie Simpson's sisters, until someone post vacaroo voice recorder link and they all learned differently. Most say I have a pleasant voice and do not sound 57 yrs old.
You don't look 57.
Lol.

Being very gentlemanly, eh John.
