Not all videos have actual "content" tho. Reaction videos for example are just videos another person created while the uploader shoves their face into the camera and grimaces a bit. Or compilations, which are just a lazy no-effort way to bulk-repost stuff other people made. Or these bullshit "X movie in full length" videos that are 2+ hours of just displaying a download link.
I would not call these people "content creators" IMHO, even tho they do, in fact, create and upload videos.
(This is just my personal opinion tho, nothing "official" in any way)
I call them leeches.
I think pure reactions evolved from shock emotion videos ( See Barbara encounter a Reaper Leviathan for the first time ) which is a shitpost version of punking videos.
I appreciate some informed take videos, such as a chef watching The Menu and sharing inside knowledge.
reaction videos along with influencers are some of the most idiocracy-themed crap that humanity managed to come up with
can't wait for the inevitable 'ow my balls' streams so we can all watch and 'bate
sounds genuinely more interesting than sssniperwolf saying "OH MY GOD" to yet another stream of tiktoks
