The most alarming thing for me is seeing ARMYs sending hundreds of dollars worth of merch to reaction YTers who probably don't even listen to BTS off camera. If you want to be generous, give your gifts to real Armys. Not reactors who can't even remember the titles of the songs they've listened to.

This!!! Its hurts alot to see that coz like me, a African ARMY, literally dont have any of BTS merch or albums etc but they dont think to do this with fellow army. I always talk about how if we could have projects that could help reach BTS merch to more ARMY that dont have the access but no one takes such thoughts seriously, it hurts🥺

Omg yes this bothers me so much! Like why are you sending a reactor albums and an army bomb? If they’re a true army they would buy it themselves. Wasting it on someone who may not even listen to bts off camera or someone who only just got into bts is such a waste when there’s actual army’s out there that don’t have access to physical albums and merch

Agree 100%. These reactors are already in our space, making money from reactions to BTS. ARMYs are making it way too easy for them to insert themselves in the fandom without actually having to do much. I'm not saying making reactions can't be work, because of course it can be, but a lot of these reactors make A LOT of money through patreon, etc. and they don't pay anything back to the artist. Instead, you have ARMYs out here just sending them everything. It shouldn't be like that. If these reactors are genuine ARMYs they would buy their own merch and CDs, just like everyone else does.

Dear baby ARMYs, pls understand that shippers, solos, mantis dont belong in the fandom. Making ship videos and analysis is inhumane as it is. Respect your idols as humans. We as ARMYs are only here for BTS music. Anything concerning their personal lives are not our business. Streaming is also important part of the fandom culture.

@@ruthfischer7615 I agree with you with the reactors becoming new fans thing but is it really worth following and supporting them if they’re faking it?! All we want from every army is to have an open eye, do not support the fakes BUT if you still choose to do so then don’t support as an army. It’s not necessary to put your army label just everywhere. Watching things for entertainment can be good only if you’re thinking it through. Supporting them makes them more motivated to continue doing what they’re doing - which is often faking it.

For those who are trying to discourage armys not to stream, this video is for ARMYs. Not for casual listeners but for people who support group music and all of the members solo music. It's simple as that. And there are people who are saying since they are big now, we don't need to work hard for them like before. No. If you are saying things like this, I think you don't know how the industry works. BTS don't have playlisting, radio and payola deals. (Jimin songs sales deleted by billboard in billboard top 100 chart and yoongi song don't make it in top 10 of global 200 despite having more streams than the other song in top 10) . It depends on Armys a lot. If you don't even stream and vote for your favs, who will? Besides, there is no limit what bts can do. If you want to give them longevity, pls support them. Buy their albums. If you can't buy you can still stream and vote.Anyway, Take two is coming in a hour!

Oh definitely. I find that most of the people who discourage streaming are more like casual fans/listeners or are at least only bandwagon armys who don't understand all the work we put into fighting for BTS and the reason for it. I love welcoming new baby armys, but I just don't like how some people think they know more about the fandom when they've only been there for a small fraction of it. It took me over a year or two to finally get a good grasp on everything and even now, I'm open to learning because sometimes things change like how BB or YT change their rules all the time.

And then some armys engaging in spreading cyber bullying just bcz some blink said shit to BTS. See this is what upsets me cuz armys there just build a hate train bcz someone else did. I mean what is the difference between them and us then? It's like they drag BP just bcz their stans are weird and drag BTS. Twitter can really take a toll on someone's mental health but yeah you're right if we avoid engaging in them and just follow official accounts and some translations accounts that only helps to keep the focus on BTS. But I sincerely hope for any army joining twitter pls don't become a part of the hate train bcz of some toxic armys :)

@@Bosslady-iu6nc Hello. I won't judge or try to determine who is "true ARMY." I also enjoy some reaction channels - those who provide some type of additional insight or expertise in particular aspects of a BTS mv or live performance. For example, it adds to my perspective to hear professional dancers speak to the level of difficulty in BTS choreography or confirms how much practice is required to make their performances synchronized, artful, engaging. There are other reaction channels that acknowledge the high regard and knowledge BTS possesses of specific genres. There are cultural channels that can describe the layers and rich nuances of the Korean language. It is evident that the videoessays created by boracity magazine take time and deep research. It provides insight into the music and media industries. It has a clear point of view with a perspective through a genuine and conscientious ARMY lens. This channel also gives clear reasoning for why particular channels are harmful and are a disservice to not only the artists we love and support, but to ARMY, too. I respect this work and use a small monetary token to show my gratitude. To me, this channel exemplifies a meaningful way to utilize a powerful platform.

9:04 I love how you used this channel as an example, he's one of the most genuine reactors I've seen. I love how he listened to on the street without knowing who hobi is, remained respectful and then immediately listened to some of hobi's solo songs right after, in the same video. That's the opposite of what these other channels are doing. He's kept making BTS videos, and I love how he's actually taking time to learn everything there is to know about the guys and their story. Another huge green flag is that though he's reacted to other kpop groups, he's continued to mainly react to BTS (among other non-kpop things), which means he's extremely unlikely to be reacting just for clout. He even said openly that he didn't really like a certain other really popular group, because they didn't have a message the same way BTS does, and then stopped reacting to them despite all the views he could have gotten from faking interest. My personal opinion is that his videos are not at all clickbait, instead it seems like he's just a genuine funny guy discovering BTS, who happens to be uploading his journey to youtube. Anyway yeah, I was really happy to see him as an example of a good reaction channel :) Keep up the good work, I've been following your videos basically since the first one, and you never miss! :D

On top of the crazy amount of BTS merch that are sent to some channels who don’t even know what half the merch really are and wouldn’t truly love and cherish it like an actual Army. Then it just didn’t make any sense or sit well with me AT ALL and I’ve since unsubscribed to all patreon channels. I do see some channels that actually spend their money to fight for merch, tickets, etc. like an actual Army. Those are the only channels I watch now. Army gets taken advantage of way too much because our hearts are similar to BTS but like Boracity says, I, as an Army, have become a much more tougher audience. Kind but tough 💜

As a Baby Army of little over a year. I got the shipping videos really fast on my TL and watched a few of them. For me personally they were pretty harmless, cause I used to it by books, tv and anime fandom culture. And it just showed that they actually care for each other and I got to interested in all different pairings. I can separate reality from wishful over-interpretations. BUT I never read the comments, so I didn't know about how serious shippers can be. With fictional characters there is no harm done. But this is a first time for me with real life people and I realized the shippers are everywhere. Even in the chat of the members Lives. And I just cant comprehend what they get out of it? Like someday BTS will say "Yeah, you spammed enough Taekook comments, now we announce their wedding"?? What is the end goal?? And BTS might at best think this is funny and arent bothered about this. At worst they feel pressed to act in certain ways or keep silent about certain topics.

THANK YOU! Finally, someone said it. People address everything related to Kpop EXCEPT Toxic Shippers. It is mainly Western casual fans that care more about ships than the actual group and their music. They have no problem with disrespecting idols by labeling them "Boyfriends" no matter how many times they refer to each other as "Family" and "Brothers". One Direction fans ruined Harry and Louis's friendship with the same extreme behavior and unfortunately, I believe many of them have become Kpop fans and have polluted K-pop fandoms with their crazy behavior. They are the reason I left Twitter, they post vile fan "Art", call the members "Boyfriends" and call their affection towards each other "Gay" because they are ignorant and never bothered educating themselves about Korean skinship culture. Koreans are affectionate from a very young age, the same way they interact on stage is how they interacted in elementary school. They never got labeled for it until uncultured Western people started paying attention and acting like wannabe detectives.

Some armys have been nice to point out some of the channels they feel are genuine. For me personally, Mexinese Family really feels genuine. I've watched them turn into real armys over the years and unlike most channels they strictly react to BTS only! They put a lot of effort into their videos be it their little skits or celebrating member's birthday by doing something inspired by them. They're really kind and take feedbacks positively. I also feel like they have built a healthy community among their watchers! Above all, they truly respect and appreciate bts! This is just my opinion. I hope armys remain mindful while consuming content in here!

I agree, Mexinese are pretty cool. They're doing it to entertain and they don't pretend otherwise; they have a lot of fun; they're well-informed, and most importantly, they don't clickbait. I like the WatchaGotToSay guys myself, they're very genuine- also very crackheaded, but they take the serious stuff seriously, and their lyric interpretations are interesting. And they always wait the first 24 hours out before reacting to something new, which even a lot of genuine reactors don't. They have branched out to Patreon, but that's because YT keeps messing with their channel. Anthony Ray was a really excellent reactor and he did go genuinely down the rabbit hole. It was fascinating to watch him lighten up from his 'dark and grim rapper' mode to 'buoyant and fun-loving ARMY', but he became more and more about the monetization and Patreon and drifted away from BTS. Pity, he was remarkably observant. Never seen a reactor stop a video to check out and identify what shoes an idol was wearing before...

What i'm saying is that David (a fan) and Danny (a non fan) made their popularity on army youtube spaces by doing videos over something that already existed on army spaces blogs or twitter threads but they made it in a more visible way which contributed for their popularity. Most bts fans are anons online, they share their knowledge because it makes them happy to other fans but these content creators present the same information (that they see it online, find a niche by looking around) because they want to get a economical advantage from us. It makes me sad when fans overlook fans on twt or other fandom spaces that dedicate their personal time for fans and then seeing youtubers taking their ideas or thoughts and get money over it. Most reactors fall into this lane so i hope you get the sentiment of what i'm saying. Why do people assume these people are better fans that us regular ones just because they share their visible face to all?

I do love WhatchaGot2Say, they've always been genuine, they're clearly armys themselves, they also always wait to post their reactions after the 24 hour mark has passed, and haven't used their fame to push any other groups (or yknow this whole thing where channels were getting paid by certain labels to lie about liking their groups' music). Like obviously if someone wants to react to kpop that's fine, but I'm always a little disappointed when someone seems genuinely interested in BTS and then they just use army clout to turn into a kpop reaction channel. And I'm really sorry, but a lot of armys on youtube are really, really dumb. TikTok too. The amount of misinformation I see shared in comments and videos and armys just eating it up is crazy. Like the fake reactions, shipping vids, fake mistreatment vids and those pushing solo and manti agendas, or even something as simple as a fake teaser that'll get MILLIONS of views while all you have to do is check the channel and see it's not theirs. As a fandom we have a responsibility to use more critical thinking.

I've been a consumer of BTS reactions for years because it brings me joy to find someone, once in a blue moon, who's actually genuine. But I've seen it too many times, reactors who watch BTS for the very first time, are extremely racist and make dumb comments about makeup, clothes, gender or sexuality, when they get backlash, they delete the video and do another reaction to the same MV, pretending it's their first time watching it, but this time being "open-minded", dancing and yelling "I am so ready to join the army". Anyone who calls ARMY "the army" and claims they're going to join it after one song makes me cringe to no end. They don't research anything beforehand, they're shocked to see BTS has seven members or that they're Korean, they always say "tell me in the comments" like they are allergic to Google, they don't make an effort to read the subtitles, they ask questions that were already answered in the video they're watching. They forget everything they've seen as soon as the reaction ends, but they never forget to tell me to go to their Patreon for exclusive content. These people are a complete mess. Honestly, I didn't even know drama channels existed. Thank God my recommendations are clean. Those look absolutely horrendous.

For the people who are a bit afraid of Twitter because of the toxicity, I would encourage you to at least follow big accounts who tweet about charts, votes, updates and who translate. By following those accounts you will be able to be updated about pretty much everything while not having to interact much with others. Avoid following accounts who focus on only one member (even if they claim to be ot7) because they're usually followed by a lot of solo stans who are very toxic (run away from those people). And for the people who would like to have the full Twitter experience (I promise it's not as bad as people think) I would advice you to follow big ot7 accounts at first to understand how Twitter works and then start following other people. To avoid toxicity, the best is to be careful of who you follow. You have to make sure to not follow any solo stan, people who engage in fanwars, etc. If you see anyone who is toxic you just block (+report) and don't engage and then Twitter starts to become actually very fun!

Talk about it !!! Its the call out for me! I started off my Bangtan Journey on KZfaq and I liked reaction channels because it felt like I was watching content for the first time with someone else who was watching it for the first time. I then had to quickly realize that I need to watch original content and not just edited videos and so I did that on my own and found how crazy edited and manipulated content could be when it comes to BTS. The fandom is not a monolith and people think so differently. I never got into a musical act as hard as I have than with BTS so I learned fandom culture real quick and it was jarring how much hate there was surrounding a group that is the literal definition of LIGHT and GRACE. Youtubing was a learning experience. When I became a full fledged fan I still watched reactions because I like commenting about theories from the past that I couldnt do during that particular era since I wasnt a fan then. I liked sharing BTS with people who are genuine but its rare to find people who are like that on here. I just want them to love BTS and see how special they are and take what they want from the performance. Some look at the dance portion and some focus on the musicality and some love the relationships of the guys as I do BUT some people just learn to OOH and AHH at the right times so they can get clicks. We just have to individually be smart about who we give our attention to and once I start seeing red flags I am gone. I have clicked "Not Interesting" and "Dont show me this channel" so much in recent times. ORIGINAL BANGTAN CONTENT always first....then when you watch anything else, funny or fun videos from fans, you will know whats real or not. You will have context. As much as twitter is a crazy space and a half , you were right when you said its organized and there is information there that is needed. OH and the beauty that is the block, mute and report buttons, like you can curate a nice timeline, follow positive people and interact how you would like. YT doesnt have that much option and the algorithm is a mess and people do what they want here with no real consequence because its not as quick as twitter is. People get misinformed on here so much and twt is just full of people with knowledge and index of info and a willingness to provide you with links and sources to real information. Learned alot from armytwt ...like dont loop a song which is crazy because I am the person who loves hitting the replay button ...insanity I am going through my FESTA discography tour and liking all songs I havent when I started my journey and writing a comment. I think we should all do this but I am probably the only one who forgets to like a song but I had no idea that it helped the algorithm so much, so anything I can do to help. This video was informative. Thank you. Sorry for the long comment. I am bad at commenting lol

Just search ‘Kim Taehyung’ ‘Kim Taehyung singularity reaction’ and you’ll see how everyone is using his name for their crap content. Life was more enjoyable up to 2018 for me. It had more meaning.

Armys are not changed... I don't know what army word means to you but being an army is not listening to bts or just watching reaction channel it's more than that you have to be updated about votings and streaming .... BTS fans are part of general public too they can be just casual listener they can be stan of other artist...... it's not army who changed it's actually toxic people who are spreading hate...... Yes I know recently v and rm called out some people and it actually needed because some people just entered in live out of somewhere and start writing stupid comments 😢 BTS live are public and free anyone can join and I noticed most of times it's kpop stans and shippers...... recently jk did a live at noon time and on same day he did another live at night the difference in comments speaks so loud that during daytime alot of toxic people are active on weverse and it's kind of their job to make comment section worst!!!! After 2020 alot of new people start getting interest in bts but trust me most of them are just casual listener there are so many army's who became part of this fandom after 2020 so saying that you wish BTS shouldn't be popular is not a right statement in my opinion 😅😅 i saw alot of people get to know about bts through Dynamite and butter and later they became army because they are open minded and they have courage to explore their beautiful music....I myself became army in 2022 and BTS popularity plays a very important role in it.... casual listener can only give streams and views to BTS but the awards BTS got is only possible because of army's toxic people doesn't bother themselves to buy a concert ticket all they can do is just talk shit about bts and army ...there is always a toxic side exist in every fandom and if artists are so famous then alot of people highlight only toxic part ignoring the fact that there is a big and huge fanbase who honestly care about BTS and their music 💜 Before 2020 BTS got so many awards and have concerts in sold out stadium is because of army's and after 2020 still bts got so many awards and achievements is because of armys the difference is just that there is increase in toxicity (anti/solos/shipper)but still army's are same 💜😊 I love army's they are so nice with me and they really help me in discovering BTS discography and also teach me about votings and streaming

But people do need to keep in mind that there is a difference between insulting them and simply critique them or disagree with them on a subject. Some ARMYs refuse to believe they are LGBTQ+ supporters. They have said they are, but those that disagree with it will swear up and down that BTS aren't supporters. It is okay to disagree with an opinion they have. It is not okay to insult them over it. And it is not okay to call a channel toxic because they have a different opinion than you or one of the members. It is okay for us to think differently than eachother, it is actually a good thing. If you don't respect different opinions you might end up making content dissing a bunch of creators that aren't actually bad people. ..

Some kpop reaction channels (and by this I mean both bts and other groups) are really weird. Some of them will just sit and nod to a song and then be like "wow it's good" to everything, and some will have a big smile on their face and be like "this is so good". And they do this to EVERYTHING. But how can your face be the same when watching MV Blood Sweat and Tears by BTS and, say, MV What is Love by Twice? This is not to say either one of these MVs is bad, but they should make you react differently. But no. But that's not even the biggest problem. What I hate the most is there will be people who play a song, not even checking if there's subtitles, and then be like "ok I don't even know what that means, please let me know what it means", or will turn on the lyrics, not understand them and be like "ok I don't even know what that means, please let me know what it means"- AND THIS ABOUT BTS WHEN THERE IS DOZENS OF VIDEOS EXPLAINING THEORIES BEHIND SONGS? And hundreds of these channels just got out in this wave of kpop reaction channels, and they just all seem ingenuine. Like I honestly do not mind fans screaming anymore, because it's come to a point where they're the most genuine and the only ones that are somewhat watchable.

Appreciate you making and sharing this video! I’ve been ARMY for 3 years now, and I’ve interacted with a few of the channels mentioned here. I watch xCelestex and WhatchaGot2Say. I really enjoy their content, and know that they’re genuine fans, and shame the guys’ message. I did watch Dave Disci when I was first learning about BTS, but stopped shortly after noticing all of the clickbait. Trash content, and YT recommends so much of it. I came across the misogynist’s channel because it was recommended, and could tell that he wasn’t it. He turned out to be worse than I thought. I’m always getting recommendations on the homepage for BTS reactors, and I constantly have to get rid of them. I hate the “First Time Reacting” or insert whatever description titles, and the goofy faces in the thumbnails turn me off. There’s nothing genuine about them, and it’s about the views, not the music or the message. It’s pretty sad that so many people are profiting from content that has no value, and they’re not even trying to polish it up. It’s just lackluster…

Thank you, once again, for your articulate and considered video essay! I have watched a lot of reactors and ultimately wind up subscribing to only a few. Sometimes, it makes me sad to unfollow a creator, but once they start saying things like, "help me do this for a living, I want to quit my job and react full time, etc." I just cant. I have also unsubscribed from channels where it's clear the reactor is allowing ARMY to do all the work and doesn't want to do their own exploration. I will almost never return to a channel where someone says, "I could go look this up, but I prefer to hear what you think/want/recommend." There are also reactors with communities where a segment of ARMY feels the need to dictate how a person should listen to BTS. I've left discussion boards where I get slammed for posting the wrong thing on the wrong day with the wrong whatever. I'm still looking for my BTS tribe, and I guess the amazing thing about this fandom is that I know they're out there, so I'll keep looking. I think this essay is particularly brave and I am proud to be subscribed to your channel. ^_^

My only issue is that since the video was posted, I’ve noticed a sharp increase of really negative and sometimes nasty comments on a number of of reactor’s channels. It doesn’t represent Army well, and it’s not behaviour that I associate BTS with. By all means, people can unsubscribe from a reactor’s channel, but surely that can be done without making people feel bad.

Most new Armys are on KZfaq. I was too. But as you said there is no interaction and reactors, unless they stay purely BTS do begin to look fake when they have the same reactions. I moved to twitter to feel more useful. Believe me, I can avoid fan wars or join in if I want. Voting, joining streaming parties, funding etc are such a part of ARMYing and I'm glad I'm there. Twitter is the backbone of our fandom. Most of the fan voted awards and all that high charting is a result of hard work of twitter Armys.

Thank you so much Boracity, I learned so much and I am a KZfaq ARMY, however I will defintiely engage with Twitter more. Also I did not realise Spotify Premium had a lot of power, I am a Premium member and listen to BTS daily, they are my oxygen. Thank again for all our videos!

Hey, as an YT Army that only joined TWT Army a few month ago, I just want to give this tip: 1:10 are good start if you want to follow someone with BTS updates, voting and streaming guides :) from there you can watch with whom they are interacting with. And if those engagements catch your eye then follow those other acc for more fun content (like memes). Most of the time these acc have already blocked antis and shooters. This is to cleanse your Timeline of toxic content :)

Yes, Twitter is really good to be up to date ! But as many people said, be careful not to engage in fanwars or toxicity, the best thing you can do when you see such tweet is to report and block, that will make the algorithm show the person's tweets to less people.

Came to vent: another reactor has emerged and it’s very similar to the whole Ameere situation. A horrible man is using clueless army for clout. And he is succeeding. 🤦‍♀️

You should start the conversation about these reaction channels making patreons at such early stages when theyre not even armys...no amount of time spent on editing is gonna justify you monetising on content that bts give for free(run bts) and I can bet that these money greedy peoplw dont even pay to watch the other stuff like bv or its

Finally, thank you for bringing this elephant in the room topic. I've seen the explosion of new reactors and can tell right away whether or not they are interested in BTS, they are only interested in click baiting and treating the fandom like, imagine dropping sugar water near black ants and see what happens. It's sickening actually. MCN and Dave Disci channel. They are the worse.

boracity I've been seeing so many more youtube reactors who are genuinely armys (not just reacting to every single kpop group and giving bland comentaries) starting to talk more about streaming and voting after you've released this video, I think you've started a army youtube revolution!!

I understand people who had a bad experience with Twitter might not want to go there again, but I really urge you to. With a little effort, you can have so much fun and mostly avoid the issues. As a minimum, I suggest following the accounts Boracity listed here and stay on your "Following" feed. That way you can stay updated and avoid interacting, if that is what you prefer. You can also receive funding for buying the music if you don't have the means otherwise. Don't hesitate to ask for advice - we ARMY must stick together. 💜

Ok sounds nice but I feel completely alone in army twtr space. I ask valid questions on thoughtful posts, no response. I give praise and appreciation, silence. I’ve had more yuck experiences than positive and I do curate as carefully as possible.

I agree 100% with everything! Its really rare to see reaction channels promoting, spreading goals or doing the barely minimun that is read the lyrics and they got SO MANY VIEWS that is absurd. The only thing we can do abt some channels is when we got an ytb recomendation we click in the option "Dont recomend this channel" but is personal and every army should do that..

Thank you, Boracity Magazine for bringing the facts - I have been so frustrated with these click-bait channels and the BTS coattail riders, especially MCN and Dave Disci Vlog. The only way for ARMY to truly support BTS is to support and create content based on BTS’s guidance - be discerning and keep your standards as high as BTS soars 💜

STREAMING IS VERY IMPORTANT Don't let anyone discourage you or mock you for being overly passionate about BTS The reason BTS is today what they are because ARMYS SUPPORT THEM !!!!! We stream and vote and make sure BTS DESERVE AND GET EVERYTHING WE CAN GIVE THEM Whatever that redemption channal just said MADE MY BLOOD BOIL

I love how KZfaq says it’s protecting people from “disturbing imagery” in Suga’s own video for example, yet has no problem hyper flooding our feeds with gross repulsive headlines that are actually destructive. They’re full of sh- 🤬
