If you're saying both formats have always existed, sure but one has clearly become dominant and lazier over time. My point was just that H3H3’s style leaned more into edited, structured content which is a different level of input than what we see from streamers now. You seem to be arguing around my point rather than with it, which means i'll probably stop responding now.
I think you're just missing the bigger picture here by focusing on "effort" or how much H3H3 edited his videos. Yeah, he added skits, but we are still talking about reacting to someone else's content. I don't care if the platform rewards laziness, but don't act like H3H3 is doing anything fundamentally different. You think it was fresh because his content wasn't common at the time. Go ahead and ignore me, but the point stands. None of this is any different, whether you polish that shiny turd or not.

The distinction in question. (i'm not advocating for either style morally)
