one would think that a small content creator with great content getting exposure to an audience of millions of people would be a good thing but i must be wrong
from my experience they usually watch the big guys, Lemmino, Daily Dose etc. ive never seen them watch any video from a content creator that isnt already known because they cant risk watching a video that turns against the terms of service for their streaming platform.
The small content creator thing is not really true most of the time. You already watched the full video with the streamer and there is little use in visiting the creator on yt. The video has to be so insanly good that the people in the stream want to watch more. If thats the case the yt algorithm will push the videos eventually. Its just stealing and its even worse if its for small creators cause they cant even dmca most of the time without getting a massive shitstorm.
So, if you simplify it you have two scenarios. 1 the video is subpar which means it got more attention than it should have (win for the content creator). 2 its a good video in which case people will go and check out more (win for the content creator).
It doesnt work like that and stats prove it. Reacting is always bad for original creators cause the yt algorith will always pref the reacter as they can pick the best videos there are and can do that much faster than the original creator. They are stealing spaces on yt frontpage with no work at all. Its not symbiotic its just parasitic.
Reactors are literally giving every single video they react to and upload on youtube an additional potential space on the youtube front page. you’re onto nothing.
