xQc & Hasan called out for \u201cstealing content\u201d with react videos Twitter\/xQc\/HasanTwitch superstars xQc and Hasan are under fire for \u201cstealing\u201d YouTube content by posting their reactions to videos. Reaction videos have become extremely popular, with big creators watching others\u2019 content while sharing their own opinions \u2013 oftentimes getting more views than the original videos they react to. While this trend can bring a lot attention to smaller channels, it can also potentially have the opposite effect, where creators lose out on potential views. Things reached a boiling point when xQc and Hasan both reacted to a video by YouTuber \u2018LEMMiNO,\u2019 prompting many to call out streamers for offering little output. Twitch streamers clammed for constant reaction videos In a series of tweets going viral across X, users took aim at xQc and Hasan \u2013 even going as far as calling for YouTube to ban them. \u201cHasan and others will watch a creators hour long documentary with little commentary and take a ten-minute bathroom break as the video continues to play,\u201d \u2018LegacyKillaHD\u2019 slammed. \u201cI swear, we\u2019re close to another giant copyright case happening in the not so distant future because of sh*t like this.\u201d He further said it was \u201cdepressing\u201d to see a highly edited video being dwarfed in views by streamers uploading their reactions with stolen thumbnails. \u201cThis is outright theft,\u201d another user blasted. \u201cGotta start banning them. I\u2019m so serious,\u201d demanded another, who urged YouTube to crack down on reaction videoss. Gotta start banning them. I\u2019m so serious pic.twitter.com\/TdrCTvnHzX \u2014 JericoFr (@FrJerico) July 27, 2023 \u201cYoutube should bring a new law that reaction videos\/streams revenue goes directly to the content creator they are watching,\u201d suggested someone else. For his part, xQc has addressed backlash to his reaction content before. In 2022, he hit out at criticism for his react videos, claiming that others don\u2019t get attacked for doing the same thing. So far, YouTube hasn\u2019t responded to calls to take action against react content, but it will be interesting to see how things play out in the future if enough creators speak out about the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
