I shared ReactionSignals here a few months ago, I took the feedback and kept building it
A few months ago I shared ReactionSignals here when it was still pretty early, and I got some genuinely useful feedback from people in this sub.
I took a lot of that into consideration and kept building.
For anyone who didn’t see the original post, ReactionSignals is basically a discovery and review site for YouTube movie and TV reaction channels.
The idea is simple:
Pick a movie → see who reacted to it.
Pick a show → find the channels covering it.
Pick a reactor → browse everything they’ve reacted to.
You can also leave reviews, rate channels, compare reaction styles, and discover creators you might never get recommended by YouTube.
The database has grown quite a bit since I first shared it here. It now has:
- 2,022 movies
- 445 TV shows
- 107 reaction channels
- 335 community reviews
There’s still a lot I want to improve, but it’s starting to feel much closer to the idea I originally had in mind.
I’d especially love feedback from people here who actually watch reaction channels regularly.
What would make a site like this useful enough that you’d come back to it instead of just searching YouTube?
Are reaction channels at their peak or is there more room for growth?
About a week ago I started a community for people who like reaction channels and since then it has received a decent amount of interest from people all over who had high engagement by rating reactors in general and more specifically if they are genuine, cryers, deep thinkers, had deep discussions or if they were a first time reactors. A lot of people also mentioned that they prefer to go on the site and look up a movie they would like to see to read about how different reactor's acted while watching the movie.
I'm curious if the reaction genre is getting saturated or if people are still enjoying watching movies or TV shows along with others. I'm also noticing that this type of entertainment is exploding in other countries just like podcasting. Podcasting is huge in some parts of the world but other pats are just getting expose to those long format discussions and conversations.
I've personally followed a few channels for years and I'm very engaged still but definitely didn't know the extent of the community. IT IS HUGE. there are so many reactors and I'm curious if this is sustainable long term.
The idea is simple:
users submit anonymous reports about moderation experiences across Reddit communities, and the site aggregates patterns around things like:
- removals
- bans
- rule clarity
- openness
- moderation strictness
I’m intentionally trying to frame it as “reported patterns,” not objective truth. The platform includes confidence levels, report skew explanations, and disclaimers because I know moderation experiences are subjective and often emotionally biased.
Right now this is an early launch and I’m mainly looking for:
- UI/UX feedback
- trust concerns
- wording issues
- feature suggestions
- obvious flaws in the concept
- ideas for improving data quality over time
A few things I’m already aware of:
- low-report communities shouldn’t look authoritative
- people are more likely to report negative experiences than neutral ones
- moderation quality is difficult to quantify objectively
I’d genuinely appreciate thoughtful criticism before I start expanding the dataset further.
