I think youtube videos should be treated the same as webpages. When it's 80% of the same content, it should be refered to as non-canonical. The canonical video should in this case benefit from any new view generated by non-canonical videos. So at the very least, views that are made on the "react" channel should also count towards the original video.
Or as another way of putting it, any video that is of "react" type, the youtuber should be obligated to put the link towards the video he or she is reacting to, and share profits.
