History WebVideo / Reactor

** "How to Grow a Youtube Channel" calls out WebVideo/GradeAUnderA for his obsession with drama on [=YouTube=] and his need to milk it for all it's worth.

David Richter, also known as Reactor, is a [[Website/YouTube YouTuber]] who, as his name suggests, is a high-quality reaction channel who does things like react to videos, vlog, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick make other Youtubers look like zoophiles, commit robbery...]]

In reality, Reactor is a satire channel of cookie-cutter lazy content that follows the life of escaped convict David Richter. What once started as David simply watching content while bringing nothing to the table evolved into a found-footage style comedy featuring David participating in illegal acts in broad daylight.

!!Tropes applying to Reactor:
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: At first, Richter’s character was just a bland, talentless guy who did nothing funny with an occasional prank. After he supposedly escaped from prison, he then became a corrupt criminal who blatantly commits crimes out in the open while taking advantage of his viewers.
* CrazyJealousGuy: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-YhpyyIX5A TOP TEN SIGNS THAT SOMEONE IS CHEATING (ASK REACTOR)]]
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: [[WebVideo/{{h3h3productions}} H3H3 EXPOSED!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ktyPB46Fek Ethan Klein's an Illegal Criminal?]]
* ExactWords: One of his vlog clickbait titles says that he was able to make a ton of money with a simple trick. This is true, but only because robbery is not a difficult concept to wrap one's head around.
* FoundFootage: Shifted into one of these as part of his “Reactor Vlogs”, which feature him videotaping himself while committing crimes.
