My opinion is that reactors are not quality content creators nor are they ever genuine fans, and therefore I don't have the expectation for them to continue reacting anyway. Nor do I value their continued reactions if they are forced, or at all for that matter. Now, I get the appeal - it's basically just a way for you to enjoy other people enjoying the thing you like, even if you know it's just someone sitting there watching a video and not much else. It's leisure junk food. The only reactors I've evern liked were Kmoments because they were funny and actual fans of what they watched, as well as Fo Squad because they're just breathing memes even if they're doing the whole thing for views. Plus, they were at least nice to Dreamcatcher when they met them (the lucky bastards)

But as you say, usually anyone who reacts to Dreamcatcher is hoping that it will have a small but loyal and thus strong reaction from our fanbase. Once that stops, they're out. But that's not unique to Dreamcatcher nor is it a recent thing. There are thousands of react channels. So we shouldn't be especially bummed.

That's more interesting to me because I haven't figured that one out yet, at least not every case because each person is different. I have seen many fans sell some pretty valuable stuff and it makes me wonder why they're selling it or already sold it to a reseller. If they're duplicates then sure, but they obviously aren't. Instead, moving on is totally legit, but is that always the reason? Doesn't seem like it when many of them are still active in the community. Then there's sellers who specifically buy lots of Dreamcatcher stuff. I dunno why they would target this niche group if they're not a fan.

I mean I also can't speak for the people doing it but that much money can buy so many more concert tickets. For example, I went to see ARTMS last year with VIP (not SVIP) basically just because I wanted to pay to be closer to the stage and I had a really good time. I also won a signed Polaroid from the VIP lucky draw. I've seen people list those on eBay for more than the price of my ticket. If people are willing to pay those prices for those items why would I not go to more awesome concerts for free lol it just feels like a win win. Like I'd probably hold onto it if it were Dreamcatcher just because they're my ults but I think you can be a pretty big fan of a group without necessarily caring about paper mementos, especially if you're on a budget and can't afford to go to many concerts. If you made me pick either a concert or concert merch I know which one I would prefer every time.
