Just to be a stickler on copyright: your comment repeats a harmful falsehood. It's important to call it out as people begin to think it's normal, leading them into peril. It is not fair use to take any amount of a copyrighted work and reproduce it arbitrarily. While fair use involves some amount of unauthorised copying, this is secondary to the primary purpose - such as news reporting, reviews(e.g. criticism), teaching and research etc. Additionally fair use only covers the amount necessary to inform. You can't take a film, splice it up and call it research. Fair use explainers are available at the links below. For ordinary people it's worthwhile understanding your rights and the boundaries of those rights. https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-fairuse.html https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-fairuse.html https://copyrightalliance.org/education/copyright-law-explained/limitations-on-a-copyright-owners-rights/fair-use-exceptions-copyright/ https://copyrightalliance.org/education/copyright-law-explai...

And people should remember the difference between what is legally permissible and what is allowed to exist because it’s too complicated or hard to prosecute.

But there's a distinction between what should be allowed vs. what is legally allowed. You're talking about what's legally allowed, the parent comment is talking about what should be allowed.

It's an exceedingly common technique for modern social media content producers/influencers to piggyback their content onto already viral content with "reaction takes." All it requires is saying you're reacting to it and either speaking over it from time to time and/or showing your face from time to time. Like a LARGE amount of Twitch's "Just Chatting" consistent of people watching YouTube with their chat and not offering anything constructive ontop of it. It's not clear to me if that's occurring here though :)
