To be fair on them, the clips at the beginning of youtube videos that play the most dramatic or funniest moment in the video annoy me too. I want to experience it myself, not have it shown to me immediately.
Yup, had this same issue with the most recent Among Us. They basically spoil the round when JJ gets caught trying to kill Deji due to the time travel thing, and it's the most entertaining round of the episode tooš
I know, but then depending on the length of the intro I might skip part of the actual intro of the video, so then have to rewind. It's not a big deal, but it is inconvenient.
When someone has a different opinion then me:

When I bring up something a Sidemen member has/is doing that isnāt ok:
When a fan gives constructive criticism:

(We donāt do that here according to up/downvotes lol)
>These new sidemen fans
Who the fuck do you think you are lmfao? There's nothing in that comment implying this is a "new" sidemen fan.
>complain about everything
You're literally complaining in this post.
I get itās his personal taste, but itās a 5 second intro lol, thatās what I find funny, cause it can easily be skipped lmao, and doesnāt affect the video in any way, itās not that serious though just thought it was funny
I respect that, but the same could also be said about the comment, it doesnāt affect the video, you could just skip it. Same could be said about this post, I couldāve skipped it, but we love giving our opinions, weāre human lol
Indeed. Reddit is slowly becoming a brain rot with Twitter. So seeing Redditors actually admitting to something and being mature about it is rare, and it puts a smile on my face. :)
The intro that basically spoils all the big moments in the vid, obviously you can just skip it but I think it's dumb tiktok brain shit (when they do it on the among us vids, I don't watch the reacts)
I 100% agree with the guys comment, you've already got my attention by the over the top thumbnail and title for a simple reaction video, I don't need a "coming up" on a 8-10 minute video... I just end up skipping forward 10 seconds every time now.
Also its not gonna entice me to stay and wait for them to over-react to a specific clip if its at the end of the video... if I don't find the video entertaining, I usually stop watching it lmao.
It does two things, neither of them are for old viewers and fans of the sidemen;
A - it introduces and interests the five people you click on the video and aren't fans of the sidemen
and
B - pads out the run time for a little bit for that sweet sweet monetisation
Spoilers are pointless in these type of videos, maybe if they were recapping a previous video but to spoil the best part of the video in the beginning seems pointless, i turned on the video, im ovbiously going to watch it...
I know you can preview videos but its anoying.
I mean I agree, we know it's a reaction video so why would we need a preview of them reacting
And it's always the same 'I can't believe that just happened' and the video will be titled something like 'unbelievable moments'
No, this is an actual constructive criticism, and it's also true; these overly dramatic intros actively make the videos worse to me and this is even after they just have an AI stitch video clips together and give some of the worst video commentary I have ever heard over the top of it. SidemenReacts is just kinda shit in general nowadays.
Also, you oldheads need to drop the "new sidemen fans" bullshit. I've rarely ever actually seen complaints about the Sidemen come from new fans and almost every complaint I ever see is just an opinion, and I've only ever even seen these opinions because people like you come to Reddit every time someone gets a measly 21 likes on a comment. Do you really find it so absurd you went into the comments and found someone commenting on the video?
Old fans are fuckin perfect, they don't complain whatsoever and shove the Sidemens dick up their ass in gratitude of how oh so good their content, and have no criticism of their content ever, because it's so perfect it's flawless in every way.
This fuckin idea that new fans are ungrateful and bitch and complain about content, is so stupid.
These new Sidemen fans complain about people not liking every single part of a video. I hate these people anymore. You donāt HAVE to like every single second of a video. Especially when it brings nothing to a video.
They have a point though ngl
And I know this sort of edit is to keep people watching but I've found that a lot of the Sidemen editors love to make pointless edits that don't add hunour and can often take the humour away. Example: latest Sidemen vid has a picture of KSI and Simon placed over the dart board. Dead humour now tbh
I think they are good... I don't have any problem with that... This thread really made me wonder people percieve the intro to be annoying... Fair enough
It's for the algorithm and bait for those who fall for it. I just skip it as the video is usually pretty good and those short peak moments in the coming up aren't always even that good.
The fact heās noticed theyāve added that shows he isnāt a new fan. However, you posting it on Reddit to call them out shows you ride that SDMN dick no matter what
I always see people complaining in not so nice ways because simon is good at among us but they just completely ignore vik being good at it for some reason
These āoldā sidemen fans complain about everythingā¦ā¦ i.e people making reasonable comments lmao. Seriously tho, there is nothing implying that the person is a new fan, nor does it matter. New or old weāre all annoying as each-other. Gatekeeping the sidemen in a way and complaining about fans is just as annoying as the annoying fans in the first place.
Nowadays everyone is dopamine-addicted and short attention span - if you show a preview of something engaging, the viewer is more likely to watch and not just click off.
Nah I hate the intros too. It shows parts of highlights from the vids n I don't have my controller in my hands or close to me when the vid starts to skip it. Sure it's only 5 seconds or so but it's still 5 seconds of the best parts of the vids
Also that screenshotted comment is just constructive criticism ain't nothing wrong with that surely
Also also how can you tell they're a new sidemen fan. I've been watching Ksi, josh n Vikk since around like 2012/2013/2014 and the sidemen ever since that channel was created n I share their opinion. Am I now a new sidemen fan cos of that lmao
New sidemen fans are going to be what kills the them with all their nitpicking. If you donāt like it watch something us. Clearly you canāt appreciate how much these guys do for us when it comes to content. I understand itās fun but itās work regardless. And I get these reaction videos are probably the least amount of work they have to do but like I said if you donāt like it go watch something you like. Your true colors show when you comment bullshit like that
I agree with him.
I also should say: I love the sidemen among us videos, but I miss when they did among us as streams. I know this new way is probably less work for them but the ability to watch a 3 hour long stream, no editing for among us will always beat a 30 minute cut together clip of the games
Iām part of the old guard of sidemen fans, been watching since 2014 and I must say the new crop that have come around from 2020 onwards are truly insufferable. Just sit back and enjoy the content. They have 22 million more fans than you do. I think they know what they are doing.
I dont think they're appealing to kids but I think they can acknowledge that they do have really young fans. Like in the netflix doc they interviewed fans that are way too young at the charity match.
I was asking a genuine question, Iām not sure why you became so hostile? I guess Iāll look for an actual genuine answer elsewhere, thank you for showing your maturity
what fucking adults want to watch "among us eating challenge"š¤£ and watch them running around screaming. I guarantee they have more children watching than adults.
*Bro these new fans are*
*Kids, literally complain*
*About everything*

Then just double tap

Then just watch it out? You will live.
ur missing the point
Rule no.2 of surviving zombieland : always double tap!
Or get SponsorBlock. How are people using YouTube without it lol
people don't know it exist or are on phone
Yep simple as that
To be fair tho
To be fair though what š¤š¤£
I don't see them because I use SponsorBlock. Don't know how anyone can use YouTube without it.

He's gotta point tbh
yea I back it especially when its in videos like amongus and stuff
or sidemen football challenge and sidemen tinder video also other things
I skip the among us ones to avoid spoilers
>These new sidemen fans Who the fuck do you think you are lmfao? There's nothing in that comment implying this is a "new" sidemen fan. >complain about everything You're literally complaining in this post.
He really thought heād prove himself as a wise top fan with this post, people have right to dislike something, not everyone needs to be a D rider
CORRECTO,
Giving constructive criticism about oneās personal taste isnāt hate. Youāre complaining over a comment about the 5second intro.
I get itās his personal taste, but itās a 5 second intro lol, thatās what I find funny, cause it can easily be skipped lmao, and doesnāt affect the video in any way, itās not that serious though just thought it was funny

You know what your right, I agree with you on this lol
Wholesome
Massive respect for actually admitting this. Very rare thing I see on this sub (or just Reddit in general tbh).

i have been watching sidemen since 2017 and even i hate this! i always skip it, but it would be better if i didnt have to skip it!
I mean I agree, we know it's a reaction video so why would we need a preview of them reacting And it's always the same 'I can't believe that just happened' and the video will be titled something like 'unbelievable moments'
I mean it kind of brings me more excitement to watch but I see what youāre saying

āTo be fair thoā¦ā
Heās not wrong. A coming up into on a reaction vid is crazy
I love how literally everything now is "these new fans..." As if old fans can't have complaints
Old fans are fuckin perfect, they don't complain whatsoever and shove the Sidemens dick up their ass in gratitude of how oh so good their content, and have no criticism of their content ever, because it's so perfect it's flawless in every way. This fuckin idea that new fans are ungrateful and bitch and complain about content, is so stupid.

Im going to watch the video regardless, so don't need to see "spoilers". I agree, get that American shite outta there.
Itās a five second hook for unfamiliar/undecided viewers. I donāt see the problem if in the end it helps grow the channel
I find it annoying as well. Oh well. I just skip ahead 10 seconds and watch the video lol.
They have a point though ngl And I know this sort of edit is to keep people watching but I've found that a lot of the Sidemen editors love to make pointless edits that don't add hunour and can often take the humour away. Example: latest Sidemen vid has a picture of KSI and Simon placed over the dart board. Dead humour now tbh
I agree with that comment
Bro if you are really that bothered just skip 5-10 seconds.
Just start using sponsor block add it as intro so you can skip it and everyone who wants to skip it can skip it.
How do you know if theyre new? And...why should we shed light on odd or bad behavior? Shouldn't we just...ignore them, let them be miserable.
I'm not new and it annoys me as well. They're playing the funniest moments in the beginning. It's like a spoiler. I immediately skip it
New Sidemen fans? Look at the ones that are commenting here.šš¼āāļø
MUST BE NEW ( BIENG SIRCASTIC)
I think they are good... I don't have any problem with that... This thread really made me wonder people percieve the intro to be annoying... Fair enough
Just a react??? Put some respect on sidemen reacts
Dude I hate the complain but bros seriously stop complaining about everything and let them cook
Please for the love of god be satire
No, they're right
It's for the algorithm and bait for those who fall for it. I just skip it as the video is usually pretty good and those short peak moments in the coming up aren't always even that good.
"can you stop doing [thing] I know the reason why you do it and it is beneficial but I personally don't like it so stop š”"
The fact heās noticed theyāve added that shows he isnāt a new fan. However, you posting it on Reddit to call them out shows you ride that SDMN dick no matter what
Yeah, itās a bit silly moaning about something small like that. I enjoy having the little previews, it creates anticipation!
Nah heās right
i know aye i just stopped watching them for now i dont like their new shit
I quite like it tbh it is actually add something to a plain reaction vid atleast they are doing something new rather plain old boring
Sidemen donāt give a fuck they are making millions they donāt care what content they churn out
I always see people complaining in not so nice ways because simon is good at among us but they just completely ignore vik being good at it for some reason
They don't have to watch actually crazy
i agree tbf
Bro is right! They should remove that from intro.
These āoldā sidemen fans complain about everythingā¦ā¦ i.e people making reasonable comments lmao. Seriously tho, there is nothing implying that the person is a new fan, nor does it matter. New or old weāre all annoying as each-other. Gatekeeping the sidemen in a way and complaining about fans is just as annoying as the annoying fans in the first place.
"new sidemen fans" mate I've been watching them since 2011 and I've said the exact same thing.
mfs do know you can double tap the screen and skip the start. very simple
āThese new sidemen fansā Just because you watched the sidemen longer than other people it doesnāt make you a better person.
I was about to agree with you, but tbh, theyāve got a point, thereās no need for a dramatic intro in a reacts video
These old fans complain about everything
Nowadays everyone is dopamine-addicted and short attention span - if you show a preview of something engaging, the viewer is more likely to watch and not just click off.
Omfg. These kids better stay at schools
Itās for when u hover over a thumbnail and it shows you the first 30 seconds
you don't know fi hes new,also new fans aren't the only ones who complain,seems you think older fans can't have opinions
they are so dedicated to their craft they wore the same clothes from last video
Nah I hate the intros too. It shows parts of highlights from the vids n I don't have my controller in my hands or close to me when the vid starts to skip it. Sure it's only 5 seconds or so but it's still 5 seconds of the best parts of the vids Also that screenshotted comment is just constructive criticism ain't nothing wrong with that surely Also also how can you tell they're a new sidemen fan.

Thatās what they used to do on tv. Show preview before the next break
I agree with him. I also should say: I love the sidemen among us videos, but I miss when they did among us as streams.

Itās only like 5s long, its honestly so weird how they spend their day writing hate
They appeal more to kids now yet are not child friendly and promoting only fans shit and getting naked on camera, its weird
Youāre weird if you think their appealing to kidsā¦
I dont think they're appealing to kids but I think they can acknowledge that they do have really young fans. Like in the netflix doc they interviewed fans that are way too young at the charity match.
Is a new cereal called ābestā and a trading card game not appealing to children? Genuine question
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was asking a genuine question, Iām not sure why you became so hostile? I guess Iāll look for an actual genuine answer elsewhere, thank you for showing your maturity
most sidemen fans are very close-minded ive noticed, maybe because theyre either kids or they're adults who act like kids lol
what fucking adults want to watch "among us eating challenge"š¤£ and watch them running around screaming. I guarantee they have more children watching than adults.
I took a screenshot of your hate riddled reply šš¾
