I think Covid really fucked with people and they've grown attached to that para-social relationship where they watch "with" someone and then discuss the show with the streamer and other viewers. It's strange but it's whats happening

>>208092722
its gay as fuck and i dont think covid is to blame

>>208092722
It's way older than Covid. South Park made fun of it ten years ago.

Here, look: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096098220500093X
It's a scientific study that says monkeys will "pay" in resources in order to look at pictures of stuff. Leading the list are sexy female monkey ass and high-status monkeys.
Tard brains have been subconsciously yearning to watch pretty or charismatic people watch TV the entire time.

Bro zoomers can't even order food or drinks without an app. They cannot socialise and I reckon more than have of them have autism.

>>208092692
Check the comments, most of them are boomers.

>>208092692
How do I find a gf like this that doesn't think I'm a freak?

>>208092970
Kek this is too real chat

>>208092953
Shes a lesbian bruv

>>208092692
It's not just zoomers. It's kinda the same how the best way to experience a game is to have someone else play it while you watch.

>>208092692
>20yo woman watches some shitty old movies like og star wars
>tons of comment like "I was 14 when it came out and you have no idea what it was like etc..."
fucking embarrassing old man

>>208093053
It's more embarassing that you care lol

>>208092916
Depends on the channel and the video. Certainly there is a lot of money to be made from pandering to old guys, especially if you’re a girl. They just need to watch boomer movies for the “first time” or act like they love men/respect America

>>208092722
It was happening before. Social media was a tremendous mistake and has been a disaster for the human race.

>>208092830
Which episode

>>208093083
KWAB

>>208093072
I don't care, I just think it's embarrassing.
I think a lot of things are embarrassing like you using "lol" .
or losers like OP making threads about this shit.

>>208092970
you know what must be done.

>>208093083
They’re really leaving money on the table by not fucking on camera. Those two Serbian girls are making the same mistake

Watching a livestream of a show or movie with a chatroom, I can understand. But watching someone else watch something is beyond cucked.

>>208092692
Why not? We all sit down to watch your mother have sex with a battleship filled of marines.

>>208092692
I thought this too but
>girlfriend watches the movie you like, pays full attention and enjoys it authentically
simulator is extremely addicting

Being able to interact with someone who genuinely shares a niche interest (e.g. loving a specific movie) is a great experience but rare irl. That's why 4chan remains popular - you could discuss like 2011 Witch House music on /mu/ with 10 different people for 300 posts, good luck finding even 1 person who gives a fuck about it irl

>>208092722
Chat, is this true?

>>208092692
I just like seeing black people watch classic movies. Watching them slowly put together the plot threads/motifs brightens my heart.

I would never watch a female reactor though.

>>208093430
That's specific.

>>208093553
Ha

Popcorn in Bed is the teachable moment imo

She started out watching the movies genuinely to see what she thought of them. She has a very positive personality so in general she seemed to enjoy what she watched and pay attention even if it wasn't her thing

But when she and her sister watched Shaun of the Dead and acted like girls do irl (chatted and snacked during it, didn't really pay attention and then didn't like it because they didn't understand what was happening as a result), the boomers in the comments freaked out

As a result, Cassie tends to say she likes everything she watches now, it became 'girl likes your favourite show' simulator.

Maybe she does like it but I've never seen a girl sit through literally all of TOS and TNG plus movies without getting bored

>>208093578
imagine knowing any of this

>>208093544
You are being had, pops. They’ve seen those movies before. They’ve also listened to AC/DC.

>>208093102
Somewhat unrelated but whenever we complain about social media then some prudes would say
>B-but 4chan is social media!!! Reddit is social media!!!
Really wish to punch these people till their face is like Pete Davidson in Suicide Squad.

>>208093127
how embarassing that must be for you

>>208092692
What's wrong with falling in love with an Iraqi/Serbian woman?

>>208092722
Agreed. During the pandemic I was drinking alot out of boredom and watched a lot of reaction videos. I stopped pretty quickly after but even lately I have been getting "hot chick plays video game" videos and no matter how many times I click "Do Not Recommend Channel" or "Block Channel" it will still recommend videos from that channel, almost to purely spite me.

>zoomers
Proven time and time again that it's boomer paypigs and lonely millennials who watch this.

>>208093594
This is essential /tv/ lore

>>208092692
>>208092903
>another zoomer derangement syndrome thread by millennials

>>208093664
this

>>208093493
true. I can't discuss lynch or gene wolfe with anyone in real life. Still gay to watch any e person watch something though

>>208093680
fr fr no cap gottem

>>208092841
I saw another study where they taught monkeys the concept of currency and introduced wealth inequality to study their reactions. They almost immediately learned how to purchase sex from female monkeys in exchange for the money.

>>208093083
Jesus fucking Christ. Even young men fall for it

>>208093704
nobody says that
however you do look like this and say this

>>208093562
No. She'll take any sailor she can get.

>>208092692
zoomers and millennials are prone to grift, at least boomers get tricked by proper scams.

Sadly pic related are Zoomers now, Gen "Alpha" are the ones who shitpost yhe most here, and 85% are ESL/ETL/EFL who rely totally on translators.

>>208092692
Zoomers crave authenticity, and they think react youtubers are giving honest/natural reactions.

/qa/ lost, brown zoomie

>>208092692
I’m 40 and I always wanted to share my favorite movies and music with others so this reaction shit is like crack to me

I will only watch this cute little retard

>>208093855
Thumbs up for that.

>>208092692
Same reason you watch someone's reaction to a movie, tv show, or song you recommended. It gives you pleasure. Don't be dense.

>>208092970

https://youtu.be/IoVB1OdLS60

>>208093711
Based

This feels like a boomer thread
>I only just now discovered what people have been doing on the internet the past 10-15 years
>this is soooooo weird whoaaaaa.......

>>208095105
This feels like a zoomer post
>I haven't lived long enough to experience a world before social media and people being terminally online losers
>I can't conceive how any of this might seem weird, even after all these years, because to me it is normal and I am part of the disease
Sad!

>>208092765
whatever man, it's not really your business

>>208093127
bro's railing against "lol" now
not embarrassing at all

>>208093684
kinda gay to put up a bitchfit about it too tho?

>>208093651
there's a willy hanging in those shorts apparently

>>208093578
Wow you’re right. Also, I looked at that video and the commenters were the saddest, most pathetic and revolting group of boomer weird simps in one space.

>>208093053
>>208093072
No it's very embarrassing for an old man to be trying to connect to 20 year old streamers over a children's movie that came out 40 years ago. But it's just a symptom of a sick society. There shouldn't be this many pathetic lonely people out there.

>>208092692
It's cross-generational.

How'd you end up on 4chan then?

>>208095276
God, I wish.

>>208092765
Both statements are correct.
Zoomers are both gay and covid is not to blame.

Millennials are to blame for both.

is this the thread?

>>208095520
thats pretty funny but i cant go check it out or ill get harassed by youtube for eternity

the best react streamer

People who watch youtubers and streamers should be killed

>>208097377
no

>>208093108
NTA but it must be #REHASH (Season 18 Episode 09).

God I hate having access to the internet. Always feels like my brain is overloaded with information and that I’m not making good use of it either at the same. Plus all throughout high school I was paranoid about not having a good enough Facebook account because that’s what people used to invite each other to parties, then suddenly everyone was using twitter, then instagram, then LinkedIn, then Snapchat, then WhatsApp, then tik tok, and so on. It’s too much. I can’t keep up. And I’m always paranoid some retarded pajeet is gonna steal my personal data because every company in the world just has to store it for all eternity for some reason. And I’m paranoid I’m being spied on by the CIA. And there’s cameras everywhere I go. And everyday at work I’m staring at a computer or taking to someone through a phone, and I can barely hear them half the time. Now we have AI slop to deal with and I can’t tel what’s real anymore. I’m exhausted bros.

>>208097523
*sniff*

>>208092692
It isn’t just Zoomers, every generation is doing this sadly.

It is because we as a collective have grown apart from each other and are afraid to connect with one another. Which is understandable when you live in an era where true friendships are dead and where saying the wrong thing will cause your so-called friends to cancel you and get you blacklisted from all jobs and banks. No one trusts anyone and everyone is looking backstab each other.

It is very sadly much safer and more comforting to be friends with a screen for people nowadays.

>>208092722
Checked and insightful. A couple of friends here have shared the same sentiment.
