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.
