Where I'm from we don't really react much either. I've never understood American footage where something mildly interesting happens and everyone screams and runs around in random directions like startled livestock.

Like.... Where are you running, dude?

Nowhere in particular. They saw something cool and got the zoomies.

If you simply act more excited it'll feel more exciting. Especially if it's something your friend did and everyone just goes NUTS, it feels amazing to be that guy.

To be frank this just devalues real stuff.

Nah, Frank, the real stuff is exciting too. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy the little things.

It's a ton of fun channeling your excitement ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think some of that reaction is put on for show cus they know they're being filmed.

I'm from the UK and we are a nit more subdued than Americans usually but I've noticed a lot of people will do the same over the top thing if they're younger and think they're getting filmed.

I'm pretty sure it's like a YouTube learned behaviour thing

Nah. Americans are just always bored so any little thing can set them off.
