Paid Reactions?

I’ve seen far too many reaction videos of streamers “jump scaring” on the ring character screen at this point. Its not scary and it’s a lot of bad overreacting. It also seemed out of character for some mainstream streamers who kept reacting to it over and over.

if these were real reactions some people need to get out of the house more.

    Most of their reactions are exagerated because they are content creators.

    Props to OG's that still keep it real like Zubat,Coconut,Wolfe.

    Yeah same. And it was not scary for me anyway.

    And i don't think this streamers scared too. I've seen some very exaggerated reactions, i thought "Ye, yee i am sure you scared that much.".

    Basically you have far more casual streamers and they also tend to be very vocal or have very expressive feelings.

    I haven't seen a video of reaction yet for this chapter, I would assume its mostly casual females getting jump scared.

    Obviously nothing wrong with that, those streamers are just really bubbly in personality and have their reactions/expressions really noticeable.

    It keeps viewers interested even if you arent the most skillful as you're more casual and fun. While I have fun and mess around too I'm not massively over hyped or energetic with my response.

    For example instead of screaming I'd do a little jump as most and whisper "oh f" lol

    BHVR aren't paying them lol, the youtube face is for the youtube thumbnail.

    I did almost have a heart attack when I played against a friend in KYF, didn't help I'd only skimmed her power and didn't know she was a stealth killer...

    This is hardly new. Have you ever seen anyone play FNAF? The game may as well say "boo" and people jump out of their seat squealing and ######### themselves because that's what gets views.

    Also, experience may vary, as some may just not be subjected to a good jump scare, while some are.

    I'm pretty conditioned to horror and am generally pretty stoic, but every once in a great while a Myers will get a really good one on me and make me almost poop my pants.

    No one is immune to a properly executed jump scare. If you are, you probably are suffering from a neurological deficit.

    But generally speaking, fake reactors are a plague.

    I get jump scared by everything, bro. You could be trying to not jump scare me by announcing yourself and that would jump scare me.

    “They’re paid actors, Jerry!”

    ”They’re paying them to act?”

    Really hedging your bets there, eh? :P
