    i don't think he prewatches everything, maybe some of it, because at some point it would be really hard to fake reactions

    Personally I dislike reaction videos because they seem fake and prewatched. On the other hand, I love watching reaction content if its xQc streaming because his mind is bonkers and hes hilarious to watch.

    I still believe most of his watches are virgin run, i mean it would take too long to prewatch everything, might as well do it on stream ...but i can see his staff members pre filter just to make sure there's nothing too crazy or against toS.

    Atrioc has said before that the reason he, how money works, and others say the same stuff is because they are all reading the the ^([sic]) Financial Times. It comes up sometimes cause he'll be reacting to something and it'll seem like he prewatched it but in reality he only knows whats coming up because both him and the person he's reacting to read the same FT article.
