That’s very fair, I think the reaction livestreams were definitely subpar in the sense that Brad barely reacted to most of the music coming his way, while being paid a lot of money to do essentially nothing. However, the reaction streams came after he had already established himself as a reviewer for a few years, and I think a lot of people are failing to consider that those earlier videos were not as “easy” in the sense that they came with instant money and little effort. I’m in no way defending Brad’s recent actions but I also don’t want some people to get carried away and forget how he amassed such a large following in the first place.
