you dont understand.
Those vids are like virtual friends. people dont really watch them because of the trailer but it substitutes talking to a friend about it. Youtubers take advantage of this to make some money. the fact that they are talking into the camera in an empty room helps to further the virtual friend experience.
Same thing with Twitch and people watching other people play games. it almost feels like playing a game with a friend. you start to feel like you know the guy in the video. thats why so many reaction vids are made, people go to them for a strange sense of company
Perhaps so, but lets see how many of these "personalities" will stick around if they aren't making a career out of ad revenues. The only channels I subscribed to on Youtube are passion projects because they don't beg for likes, subscriber counts or Patreon donations.
"trailer breakdown" "Things you missed in the trailer" "What the trailer isn't telling us"
I don't bother with any kind of youtube toy review. And the people that post their youtube links all over the forum like it's important. Show me some pics. I like pics. You can tell if something is good or bad with pics. Unless you suck at taking pics. Then you shouldn't be posting.
"Trailer breakdown" at least makes some sense if you have something noteworthy to say. The worst would be the ones that use those red circles.
