Ugh, I hate these "Reacts to" videos - they always pop up in my Youtube feed and I always roll my eyes. The sad thing is that all have millions of views...

Some of us think they're fun if they're well done like those ones by the brothers, but I hear you. Some of the ones I've seen are pretty bad. I also get the stupid "ultimate fail compilation" crap at the top of the suggestions all the time on the right side. Usually the thumbnail is some scantily clad or wardrobe malfunction female and the one time I had a lapse of judgement and clicked on one (stupid lizard brain shame), said anchorwoman was not in the video at all and it was just stolen other recompressed stuff I'd mostly seen months earlier. :roll:

I only watch the Kids React to Technology and Elders React to videos. What feed are you talking about? You mean the "recommended" or "What to watch"?

All i see on home page is the last videos my subs posted.

Doesn't *every* generation have this moment though? Just sounds like whinging to me.

Kinda sorta.

These days all I have to do is speak a question out loud and my phone answers it in seconds.

"What do yellow tulips symbolize?" and *bam* my phone tells me.

New Episode, kids react to an old computer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF7EpEnglgk


The best part of the episode was the girl who said asked how would you look up homework without the internet XD.

The oldest computer i've worked on was a late 80's computer that had DOS installed on it. I remember having to always type DOOM.EXE to run it (i think that was the command).

The one kid had some sort of idea as to how it worked, he was the tall boy

Perfect time to yell at those pesky kids on my lawn.

That's how this makes me feel.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.
