Beautiful performance, IMO this is a must-watch:
Running 1.5 (3)
I looked at the YouTube Partner Program and the threshold is 1,000 subscribers and 4k public watch hours in the last 12 months. I don’t know how to accomplish that yet but I want to try to help!
Interesting, I don’t know why some of those don’t have content id.
And also: the way reaction channels work on YouTube is that any ad revenue generated by the reaction videos is credited to the artists, so my goal with these is to expand the footprint where the artist can be introduced to more potential fans, and it’s up to me to choose great songs to request. The quality of the reaction is entirely out of my control.
What I like about Wave’s channel is that he knows how to play the instruments and he will give an honest response whether good or bad. So the music really does have to be exceptional to get an enthusiastic response from him lol
I do that a lot on Twitter: if someone likes one song that I’ve requested, they can go to my playlist and find dozens more https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCqLKwkb46zCXseURkUG7GQYs6WSiDVne
Whereas on the main channel there are no labels for who requested what (unless you listen to the beginning of each video), so it’s much more random. I specialize in bands with very underrated songs and very low subscriber counts, for example. Many other requests will often be for bands already with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Causing a few other people to become new fans because of that exposure is fantastic. In some cases I’ve seen those reaction videos cause 50-100 new fans to subscribe to them on YouTube.
Since music is generally released for free on YouTube, I would argue that outside of buying music on bandcamp or directly from the artists with merch or live shows, the best way to spend ~$20 is to ask a popular reaction channel on YouTube to review an underrated song and introduce it to their audience.
