	In summary, reaction videos are a type of online video content where individuals or groups of people record their live reactions while watching a particular video or media. These videos have become increasingly popular on various social media platforms such as [[YouTube]], [[TikTok]], and [[wikipedia:Twitch\|Twitch]]. Creators of reaction videos react to viral videos, music videos, movie trailers, and other content. The popularity of reaction videos can be attributed to their ability to elicit emotional responses from viewers and serve as a form of social commentary. Reaction videos come in different styles, ranging from over-the-top reactions to more analytical commentary. Some creators prefer to react in an exaggerated manner, while others provide more thoughtful and insightful commentary. Reaction videos can serve as a way for viewers to experience a video without actually watching it themselves, allowing them to see how others perceive the content. Despite their popularity, reaction videos have also faced criticism for their lack of originality and potential copyright issues. Some creators may use copyrighted content without permission, which can lead to legal issues. Additionally, some people view reaction videos as unoriginal, as the creators are simply reacting to someone else's content rather than creating their own.

			===In screamers===
			Reaction videos with [[screamers]] are a subgenre of reaction videos that involve tricking viewers into thinking they are watching a harmless or amusing video before suddenly showing them a startling image or loud noise, often called a "screamer". The purpose of a screamer is to shock and scare the viewer, often resulting in exaggerated or comedic reactions from the person watching the video. Reaction videos with screamers gained popularity in the early 2000s with the rise of [[internet screamers\|internet pranks]] and viral videos. These videos often follow a formula where the person filming themselves reacts to a video or image on screen, while the viewer can see the same video or image. The viewer is led to believe they are watching a normal video, but at a specific moment, the video cuts to a startling image or sound, such as jump scare or a loud noise, often accompanied by flashing lights or other visual effects. This sudden change is intended to startle the viewer and evoke a reaction, which can range from shock to fear to laughter. Creators of these videos often use a variety of tactics to lure the viewer in with a seemingly innocent clip, such as a cute animal video or a funny prank, before building up tension with ominous music or a countdown. The tension is then released with a sudden jump scare, usually accompanied by a loud scream or other startling sound effect. These videos often feature people's reactions to the screamer, including screaming, jumping out of their seats, or throwing their devices in fear.
			==History==
			The use of screamers in reaction videos has been around since 2002, with the first known example being "What's Wrong With This Picture?" One of the earliest reaction video featured a blonde woman trying to find the problem with the image before an eyeless woman suddenly appeared with a loud scream, scaring her away. This video was even featured on ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]'', with host Tom Bergeron reacting to the screamer as well.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=A1YlEjxm8iQ</ref> As time passed, numerous screamers were featured on the show and even prompted a screamer reaction contest held by Jeremy Winterrowd in 2007, titled "Winterrowd Prank Contest". The contest invited people to record their reactions to one of his screamers and submit them to Jeremy. The submissions chosen by Jeremy were uploaded to the contest's channel, prankcontest, where they were publicly voted on by viewers. The winner of the contest received a $100 cash prize.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160409195708/https://www.youtube.com/user/prankcontest prankcontest] April 3, 2007 – via [[YouTube]]. Archived from [https://www.youtube.com/user/prankcontest the original]</ref> More recently, a lost screamer in Super Mario 64 called the Big Star Secret gained attention in 2020 after being hunted by the Lost Media Wiki community, though the hunt eventually proved unsuccessful.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210109142815/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPe1hlC7B1Q&gl=US&hl=en "Little brother getting scared.

	On April 1, 2007, [[Jeremy Winterrowd]] held a contest, "Winterrowd Prank Contest", where people recorded their reactions to one of his screamers and emailed them to Jeremy.

	After the end of 2005, [[screamers]] and [[shock sites]] gradually transitioned from sending chain mails to reaction videos where people recorded themselves reacting to videos, animations, and more.

	The first screamer topic of this trend was [[What's Wrong With This Picture?]], which dated back to 2002. The earliest one was recorded on December 28, 2002, featuring a blonde woman reacting to the screamer, trying to find out what was wrong with it. Shortly after, the image of an eyeless woman appears with a loud scream, scaring the girl away. This video was featured in one of the episodes of ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]''. The former host of AFV, Tom Bergeron, also reacted to the screamer from one of the episodes as well.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=A1YlEjxm8iQ</ref> Besides this, tons of screamers appeared on America's Funniest Home Videos when Bergeron hosted the show in 2005 and they would eventually fizzle out once Bergeron retired as host in 2015.

	After the end of 2005, [[screamers]] and [[shock sites]] gradually transitioned from sending chain-mails to reaction videos where people recorded themselves reacting to videos, animations, and more. This idea was intentionally made for people to record themselves getting scared or horrified by screamers and shock sites. These are very popular on many video-sharing sites, such as [[YouTube]].

	The first screamer topic of this trend was [[What's Wrong With This Picture?]], which dated back to 2002. The earliest one was recorded on December 28, 2002, featuring a blonde woman reacting to the screamer, trying to find out what was wrong with it. Shortly after, the image of an eyeless woman appears with a loud scream, scaring the girl away. This video was featured in one of the episodes of ''[[America's Funniest Home Videos]]''.
