Sounds like some sort of digital pyramid scheme.

Link to their trademarks.

Quote from a lawyer:
[QUOTE]Trademark lawyer here. The REACT mark will be published for opposition on Feb. 2, 2016. There is only a limited time thereafter to stop a final registration of the mark. You can file an opposition if you believe you "will be damaged by the registration of the mark." I don't suppose that covers the general YouTube-viewing public, but possibly includes those that make videos "interviewing groups of people" for reactions, and you want to use "React" in your video titles (or even metadata, descriptions etc.). Act fast!![/QUOTE]

Wait, are they actually trying to trademark the word "react"?

[niceguyhenry]

I know it's the least of the videos issues, but it's really bugging me how the one in the blue won't point his chin down at all.

Reaction vids are the fucking worst. There's something about the fact that someone can build an entire career and gain millions of devoted fans by using other people's content and adding literally nothing that sickens me deeply.

Channels such as h3h3 do reactions quite well.

There's a large difference between the kind of reaction videos. There's the good ones like the classic "2 girls 1 cup" ones, where they don't show the video and it's pure reaction, everyone knows what they're watching. Then you have the h3h3-type ones, where they actually abide by fair use, and add something through parody, criticism etc. to the video they're reacting to. Then, you have your Jinx's. They play the video in entirety and stay quiet for most of the video. Fuck them. Reaction Videos aren't inherently bad, but this new 'style' of them are literally cancer.

[Big Bob]

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49636512]Channels such as h3h3 do reactions quite well.[/QUOTE]See, those are different because they actually add something to what they react to and put effort into their reactions, actually commenting on the source material.

I don't want to lump those together with the people who put Funny Popular Video #3683 in the corner and watch the whole thing in silence - maybe laughing now and then, or exclaiming a "what the hell am i watching?! hehe..." - and then go on about how much work goes into making their videos.

I don't know whats worse about Jinx for me

the fact that we share a name or the fact that his videos are shit

I had never heard of Jinx before recently where people were saying his videos are shit. I immediately got confused at why people would be angry at you for youtube videos.

GradeAUnderA did a pretty good video about Jinx and other 'reaction' channels

There's also an iDubbbz video (not everyone's cup of tea) about JinxReload, Jinx's second channel which is his "original" content (get a load of this guy)

Always thought they were sleazy and annoying anyway. Whenever they appeared on camera I just stopped watching the react videos, tho I thought some of the kids were cool.

Let's not just argue about it, let's fight it. Here's a video about a guy offering pro-bono lawyer support to anyone affected by this trademark creation, meaning he is able to contest the trademark before it is set into law. If you know anyone who could be affected, please send this to them!

That's kind of the point of the McPoyles.

Oh you were talking about the Fine Bros.

[Fangz]

Apparently the Fine Bros have copyright claimed people reacting to their own videos in the past:

You're getting some of that money for thinking of such a brilliant idea.

They apparently sent a strike against a channel that only had eight subscribers and less than 150 views
