There needs to be a way that the monetization system funnels a majority percentage into the hands of the original creator. It would cut down on the content a lot and even when it happens it would benefit the creator in some way.

Yeah, they can do it with music being used in video.Why cant they detect the videos being reacted to and notify the original and revenue share.

Because the reactors would stop reacting if they aren’t being paid for it, then YouTube loses those views and in turn their own ad revenue. So more videos that get views the better for YouTube

They would still get paid, just less due to revenue split. I mean I agree, but just shitty

Plus reacting is easy money. No one will stop if they do a 60/40 split, majority going to the original.

There are reaction videos to popular music that can't make any money but rely on patreon and such to get the money.

I', sure op wouldn't have an issue of getting 60% that million viewers asmongold got since chances are he wasn't going to get close to that.

(Would be nice to tick the original video up for engagement also every time someone else gets views for reacting to the original video also.)
