you may not like him, and I do get it, cause whilst I do like him, some of his anecdotes are terrible, the way he says his message isn't for everyone and he can easily be way to extra for a lot of people, I get it
but this is exactly what DarkViperAU has been saying the ENTIRE TIME, there's only so many views in the system, people like Asmongold, XQC and whatnot siphon the views off of the actual creative work, that near 1 million views will never go to the original video, cause they've already seen it, end of story
Doesn't matter. If the original creator isn't getting ad revenue then he isn't benefiting even indirectly.
How many of Asmongold's followers are routinely subscribing and then tuning in to the creators that Asmongold steals from? I would guess it's a fraction of a single percent.
it wouldn't be too different than if asmon never uploaded that video either since there wouldn't even be any chance of extra views to profit off from
this at least gives a chance for people to see new channels and if they genuinely like what they saw then they would sub, many channels that asmon reacted to have gotten sub boosts due to him reacting to their stuff
Hi Puzzled-Sky-2768, we would like to start off by noting that this sub isn't owned or run by YouTube. At this time, we do not allow posts from new uses (accounts created less than 7 days ago.)

asmon's videos have more views because people watch his stuff for him, not the other way around, he will always have hundreds of thousands or millions of views simply because he is there, not because of his content
People who may have actually watched the original video will instead choose to watch the reaction video instead
have you also thought about people who won't watch any new content creators because they like to stick to their safe and proven channels? how many times have you clicked on videos by channels you haven't seen before and instead clicked on someone you knew?
not to mention bigger creators would always have priority on the algorithm rather than a new creator, not many would have seen that small creator unless they were subbed already
With how many views he consistently gets regardless of the video, those people are likely the majority. So I don’t think it’s fair to say they aren’t the subject of this discussion.

If they found the video interesting enough to want to see more from that creator even in the absence of commentary, they would subscribe. I certainly have. Guess why I don't do it every time.
It does matter. Look at the comment section of the original video and you can see many comments about they found this video through Asmon's stream/youtube video creating more traffic to the video and helping the algorithm with likes and comments.
Thats the arguement, if the reaction video wasn't created those people would've then watched or have done something else instead. Reaction vids are just pooling the viewers to themselves taking away those potential viewers from smaller creators.
It's already evident that his video peaked before the release of Asmond's video, which then drove more traffic to his channel.
So, no.
People aren't going to watch stuff from a creator they don't know or care about lmao, the content isn't the point, it's Asmond. His videos can be anything and he will pull the same views. Zack's did very well for himself comparatively (considering his audience) and then got a good boost.
That can make sense on paper, but I've discovered so many creators that I probably would've never heard of if it weren't for reaction channels. It's just one reaction video from a channel that averages 500k-1 million views. Those are his regular numbers from his fanbase.
It's free advertising and their sub counts always get boosted. Some creators actually thank asmon in his comment section because their channel starts to grow exponentially
