No problem. There is a purpose for why you are making the video. Stay true to that purpose and don't feel like you have to do "reaction videos" to get people to watch.
This is before your your time but I think you can learn from it. I never watched much of them but that's because of my approach to movies is that I'm going to watch a movie if I think I like it and I don't care what others think about a movie, but all of that is beside the point. They made a living out it. The thing that probably made them successful is that they did movie reviews in a way that almost made you feel as if you were listening in on a nearby conversation, which tends to get people involved without being involved directly. Sort of like how people pull their smart phones out and start recording 2 people arguing or performing.
Take notes on these guys. Watch a full episode and if you find yourself making comments about how stupid either one is, or that they don't know what they are talking about in terms of the movie, then that is the exact point where they have captured your attention. Things like this also allows you to show your knowledge and gives you a chance to shine a bit.
The reason I show this because you can see them react to the comments even though it's not a "Reaction" Video.
Another example of a show that shows other people's reaction
I'm not saying to do exactly what they are doing. I'm not saying copy what they do. I saying understand the science behind it. Why does it work? What is drawing the attention. Does the videos make you look better or do you make the video look better?
If you are trying to make money from YouTube, then making a reaction video is probably be the best way to go, because it's trendy so you can make a quick buck. Reaction videos have a short life span. The 2 shows that I put lasted longer than I would have ever thought they would. Siskel and Ebert kept going until the wheels fell off.
This is another one. Before your time.
They guys that probably fit into your generation would be the John Stewart Show and Stephen Cobert who did tons of "Reaction"
Figure out why it worked for these people and then see if it's something that can be put into a formula and repeated in a way that will allow you to get a lot of mileage out of it.
Just something to think about as you do your videos.
