Whats this all about? Every time I go and watch Queen on youtube im linked to a black guy reacting to a Queen video. Seems to be much more common since the movie. Havent black people heard of Queen before? Jesus. |
| mooghead 28.08.2019 16:55 |
Is this a guy who reacts to lots of different stuff who just happens to be black? Or a black guy trying to show how he reacts to stuff because he is black so reacts in a 'black' way? I suspect the former. |
| The Real Wizard 28.08.2019 17:54 |
Pretty well everyone is listening to Queen more now, not just black people. And there are a ton of white guys doing the "reacts" videos too. Maybe the black guys just show up on people's feeds more because they have more likeable personalities, which has made them more popular. |

I don't understand what the fun is in watching a video of some stranger reacting to something. Who cares. |
| mooghead 28.08.2019 19:12 |
Good point, and it is always someone who is blown away, never anyone who thinks 'This is shit' All the comments are 'yeah, I was like that! you should also listen to.... ... ' Youtube is just a silly game. Stick to what you like and know. |

Why do they do it? The youtube algorithm. There are 3 things which help the channel - regularity of upload, audience retention and audience interaction. Plus many people suspect a 4th one, which "officially" doesn't exist - manual intervention in favor of minorities, e.g. if somebody accuses youtube of being racist, they promote black youtubers, if somebody accuses them of being anti-gay, they promote LGBTQ channels etc. Reaction videos are easy to do - the main content, the video you "react to" is already done, so you don't have a problem with regularity, the "professional reactors" can "produce" several videos each day. Meaning they will get lots of views, and therefore make a lot of money, either using AdSense or (if the channel isn't in the Youtube Partner Program or the video gets copyright claimed or demonetized) using selling of merch, patreon etc. So youtube wants to promote these "reactors", (mostly black but not ONLY black might I add), and since you're a Queen fan, you probably watched some Queen videos, that's why the algorithm suggests these videos for you. |

I tend to ignore them as they've lost their impact now that basically everyone has done them - especially the posh white people ones. Kind of like getting your FB feed filled up with the ice bucket challenge. However there was one that was shared here a few months ago and it genuinely made me listen to Bo Rhap through fresh ears. It IS nuts. We tend to forget how far out some Queen songs are. |
| master marathon runner 29.08.2019 07:36 |
- But didn't AOBTD top black and funk charts back in 1980 ? . Surely some of this should have permeated down the years. Or does popular music not do that now? |

Stick, re: >I don't understand what the fun is in watching a video of some stranger reacting to something Absolutely. People sitting in a house, watching people sitting in a house watching a video. These people are devoid of stimuli in their lives. Big Brother? Love Island? All these fuckers are being brainwashed into believing that this is entertainment worthy of their attention. It's about time we trimmed the herd. If we resorted to cannibalism - and maybe Jeffrrey Dahmer was, in fact, a visionary of sorts - we could start by ridding the planet of these bastards. Without them, our TV schedules could be filled with better dramas and documentaries that educate as opposed to programming that sucks the life out of people. We could then turn it on to the people in jail meaning we're spending much less on housing the baddies. When the jails are empty, we can then turn them in to care homes which will mean that the money being spent on the Prison Services goes to better use in caring for the elderly and sick. A bit of cleansing which, done the right way, would benefit society in a positive manner. Job's a godd'un. Garcon de petit pois as they say in the Dourdoigne. |

Whilst I agree with some of what you said. I have to disagree with cannibalism. Are you actually fucking serious? |
| oligneisti 29.08.2019 10:21 |
I remember going to Q+PR in Brixton in 2005 and emerging from the underground station and being the only white guy around (first time that happened - I am from Iceland). Then at the concert itself I don't remember any black people there. Rock music has usually been more popular with white people. There is a complex history behind this. I always remember the sweet story of Kurt Cobain being extremely happy the first time he met a black person who liked Nirvana. |

stevelondon20, re: >I have to disagree with cannibalism. Are you actually fucking serious? Not swayed 100% either way at this early stage. With the planet struggling to sustain the ever growing numbers of people that still insist on breeding despite not having the financial stability to be able to actually **HAVE** children, we need to think about clearing some space, don't we? None of us wants to see our green and pleasant lands decimated by the mass sprawl of construction and I'm pretty sure we ain't gonna get a mezzanine floor installed on planet earth, therefore, we have to think about a plan. Cannibalism **MAY** be part of the solution to the problem. Like anal sex - or marmite - you either love it or hate it as a thing........ |

Apparently human flesh tastes like pork. Personally I'm crossing my fingers for a giant meteor storm to hit the earth like it has done countless of times in the history of humankind (roughly at least 250.000 years have people like us roamed the planet). Too many people to sustain or not, the fact is that most of us let ourselves be run and managed by dumb, corrupt, insane, greedy, egotistical and ideological people and most of us don't notice, don't want to know or stopped caring long ago. So universe, we need a reset yet again. We have let things get to far out of hand regarding the divide between the rulers and the ruled. Also, smartphones and social media don't help to say the least. |

From black people watching Queen videos to eating rich people. Only on Queenzone |
| k-m 29.08.2019 15:36 |
Some sick fuckers here. Cannibalism, cleansing? I suspect it's meant to be funny... But anyway, on the subject - you probably see blacks reacting because people don't associate rock music with black people, that's why such vids seem a little exotic and have the potential to attract more attention than if whites were reacting to it. The videos are mostly shit by the way. Whilst there might be something interesting in seeing someone hear Barcelona or Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time, you'll quickly realize this is just another way to generate some clicks, these people don't care what they are actually watching and the videos are dead boring. |
| dudeofqueen 29.08.2019 15:47 |
oligneisti, re: >The rich use up much more of the resources than poor people so: Eat the rich. Yep - happy to consider that as an option too and, I suspect, the likes of Amanda Holden will taste far better than the fat fuckers that loiter about watching Love Island. k-m, re: >Some sick fuckers here. Cannibalism, cleansing? I suspect it's meant to be funny... Nope - a genuine suggestion as a solution to a problem. I'm not suggesting you actually go out and do it, but it may prove to be a little bit of genius........ |

Stick, re: >Hmm, that only leaves posting without meaning or intent. Boring. No it doesn't; its just you simply not liking the post(s). You're well within your rights to ignore it but you feel compelled to engage, so there must be an element of interest in it from your side. Either that or you're unable to exercise simple judgement and time management skills.........odd. |
| Stick 30.08.2019 10:13 |
You're right, I didn't like you bringing up cannibalism when I thought you posted seriously about it or because of trolling so I engaged. Now I know you just posted because of posting it's just boring and meaningless to me. So the interest is gone and there is no reason to engage anymore because of that. You yourself destroyed any element of interest I had in your words here by confirming your posts had any meaning or intent. Like I said, boring. |

This has been a trend for a while. Maybe a few really didn't know about Queen until they checked them out recently, but the majority saw the appeal and views and jumped on the bandwagon. 2018 is the year black people discovered Queen. :D |
