Twitch streamer xQc and Ethan Klein from H3 Podcast got into a heated argument on stream today about their opposing views on reaction content. The topic has been hotly debated by many in the streaming community recently, with one side arguing that reaction content is a form of theft, especially if the reactor has nothing meaningful to contribute. The other side believes that reacting to other people's content on stream boosts viewership for the original creator.

Reacting to content posted on websites such as YouTube has been a staple for Just Chatting streamers on platforms such as Twitch, and many big names such as HasanAbi, Felix "xQc," and Asmongold have been facing backlash for the same. Ethan, who even had a confrontation with his friend HasanAbi about it on their podcast, has been strongly against reaction content and got on a Zoom call with Felix today to debate the topic.
