Can we just all stop for a moment and acknowledge that the trend of reaction videos on Tik-Tok where the other person just sits there nodding and making ridiculous faces is the most annoying trend of all the annoying trends?

You are not entertaining. You detract from the video we're actually trying to watch. No one is actually watching your half of the screen. Please stop piggybacking on the creativity of others.  Social media is being flooded by these ridiculous videos that often do not give credit to the original video.

We all love to watch short but engaging content. Creators spend a lot of time pumping out silly videos to entertain us. These videos also require a substantial amount of editing and creativity. Very few people just luck into becoming content creators; there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work, a lot of networking, brainstorming, and long hours of planning for some channels.

We call for Tik-Tok to immediately demonetize this type of content.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
