    David, Calvin and Dutch Bond Fan are all great contributors to Bond content.

    You forgot Being James Bond (Joe Darlington).

    He's not my favorite but a great contributor nonetheless.

    I do enjoy Calvin, but I’d be fine if the whole “reactors” thing just vanished.

    I'll never understand the intrigue of reaction videos (the ones for trailers are the worst). Then again, I avoid most of these video blog type things anyway, they're just not for me.

    I saw a reaction video for CR a year or so back. The content creator didn't know much about Bond other than the "Shaken , not stirred" catchphrase. She didn't know what the line exactly referred to.

    Nevertheless she thought CR kind of sucked since Bond doesn't go around randomly saying "Shaken, nor stirred" every few minutes throughout the film.

    I don't get reaction videos, but I don't watch them so I'm happy for those that do to enjoy them. That's the handy thing about YouTube I guess: you only have to watch the things you click on :D

    I did watch a bit of Mr Dyson 'reacting' to some 007 deleted scenes, but his pretending that he hadn't watched them beforehand wasn't terribly convincing :)

    Unless it's my YouTube, that manages to suggest and recommend things I have no interest in. No lie, I had a reaction video recommended to me this morning on there, focused on a trailer I've never once watched. Thankfully, it's otherwise pretty good about tapping into what I want to see more of.

    Some reaction videos do put a smile on my face.
    I do love to see younger movie fans discover and enjoy some of the classics. Say, those who hadn't seen a Humphrey Bogart or Marilyn Monroe film before. Opens a whole new world of enjoyment.

    Back on topic:

    WHERE DOES BOND GO AFTER CRAIG?

    I hope it doesn't go on an indefinite hiatus.
    I would like to see another new Bond film made during the 2020s.

    For someone like me, who strives to put original material on their Youtube channel, like songs I wrote or covered, playing real instruments, either alone or with a band, the reaction videos come off as cheap and tacky.

    Does your YouTube actually force you to watch them, Clockwork Orange-style? :D

    Thankfully not! Still irritating to have them pop up after having my account for so long though. I just avoid them, it's simple enough.

    These video reactions with kids being shown Walkmans are great because they make me feel like Matt Damon at the end of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN when he explicable ages 50 years within a few seconds.

    I don't have a problem so much with reaction channels, as I do with YouTube recommending me channels that I don't watch or want to. YouTube insists that I should watch Mr Beast.

    Don't go down that rabbit hole. His videos are fun though but can become annoying and repetitive very quickly.

    I like HaphazardStuff even though I disagree with a lot of what he says. He goes into a bit more depth than the other guys.

    I like Calvin too but he's running out of material for his videos. Pretty soon he'll be ranking the Blofeld cats.

    He seems to have a hard time reading John Gardener novels. He seems to cringe quite often while talking about them. I’ve mentioned that he should move more forward with other authors if it’s too hard for him.

    Same. He seems genuine and a decent bloke, to me.

    Still a better reviewer than anything the Nostalgia Critic does. Major shudders. A guy who doesn’t get that he isn’t funny.

    Good God, I didn't realise that guy was still around until you mentioned him.

    Unfortunately, despite all of his work problems and running out of ideas, he’s still uploading on a weeklong basis. It saddens me.

    Never saw the appeal with him myself. While I didn't always agree with her I found his former collaborator Lindsay Ellis 'Nostalgia Chick' (now relatively successful in her own right but no longer making Youtube videos) much more insightful, intelligent and thought provoking as a reviewer/critic.

    I like Calvin's videos, but yes, he does struggle with Gardner, haha. I do too. Think he's better when it comes to the films (his NTTD review video is excellent, and has clearly gotten him a good number of viewers recently)

    My favorite reaction video is of fake Tom Cruise reacting to the fake Tom Cruise for president video. Can't find it anymore.

    Always been a fan of Calvin Dyson , but I haven’t really checked out the other Bond-fluencers. :))
    I've only watched a few videos of Dyson and Zaritsky, and enjoyed them.

    Calvin Dyson has a brilliant profile pic here.

    Zaritsky and Darlington have a great rapport.

    Dyson and Zaritsky both produce decent videos for the Bond fan community. Zaritsky has influenced me to buy probably too much Bond stuff over the years - mainly Sunspel and Orlebar Brown, so his videos work on some people!

    I get the impression he is humble in everything he does, rather than brag, and my favourite video of his is the trip to Goldeneye, sitting in Fleming's chair. That video is seen through the eyes of every Bond fan, and he is just sharing it with us all (I also bought the Fleming sea island cotton shirt from Sunspel he wears in that video because of it, which put me back a few quid).

    Haphazard’s evisceration of QOS is beautiful.

    Yes you’re right, he never comes across as bragging, despite all of the fun things he gets to do.

    I have seen one of his videos at some point, it's impossible not to. But to see him all over the site promoting Honey, it's obnoxious how hard YouTube is pushing him.

    "Oh no no no" are the same words I utter when his advert shows up.

    There is a borderline with the YouTubers. Sometimes they create videos that really are entertaining for the fans, and other times they are creating stuff purely to keep the YouTube business momentum going, eyeballs per video, etc. That is when it becomes tiresome and repetitive.

    You probably already know this, but there are 'Not interested' and 'Do not recommend channel' options that can be selected by clicking on the three dots that appear by the video's name when you put your cursor over it (this is on the YouTube home page, where you have all the video preview windows).

    This helped a lot when I learned this way back.

    On its first 4 days Maverick in the US almost topped NTTD’s entire gross.

    Bond must find a way to make the US audiences interested again, especially the young.
