** After the whole "React World" fiasco, the fanbases of WebVideo/NerdCubed, Creator/FilmCow, LetsPlay/{{Critikal}}, WebVideo/{{Mega 64}}, WebVideo/AlphaOmegaSin, LetsPlay/HatFilms (specifically Ross Hornby) and others have turned on the Fine Bros after seeing said creators do the same. In the case of [=Mega64=], though, things seem to have smoothed over after group members started making post-controversy appearances on "[=YouTubers=] React".

* IKnewIt: The fact that Ethan James, despite having turned 20, continued to appear in the React Spin-Off videos was the first indicator that the Fine Bros. was bringing back their Adults React concept. Madison joined in later on (and was with Ethan James in the 4th "Try not to laugh" episode).

Added DiffLines:

*EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Likely due to being older, Creator/LiaMarieJohnson was significantly more popular than the other regular kids from the very start of ''Kids React''. She pretty much became the SeriesMascot in the fans' eyes until she stopped appearing in 2015. Her personal [=YouTube=] channel even got some cred from her popularity on this series, so she was able to ''graduate to [=YouTubers=] React''.
** Morgan Bertsch seemed to be the viewers' new favorite kid on ''Kids React'' after Lia moved over to ''Teens React''.
** William Sherman was also a popular kid on the show, due to him being more aware of what happens on the Internet than any of the other kids, as well as for being a DeadpanSnarker. In the comments section of some post-William ''Kids React'' episodes, some fans have stated how much they miss him and even tried asking why was he no longer on the show.
** Jaxonhh has gained a cult following on [[https://www.instagram.com/jaxonhh/?hl=en Instagram]]. He also has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h24HjJ8QjZw fan made video celebrating his birthday]] and even a fan-made [[http://www.jaxonhh.com website]]!
** Tom from ''Teens'' then ''Adults''. He's one of the most popular and recognized face of the series, and his popularity got to the point that he himself became ''a host'' of several of the series' shows.
** Tori is very popular. It's not uncommon to see "If I see Tori, I click" comments on the videos, and it's universally agreed among fans that she's the new SeriesMascot after Creator/{{Lia|MarieJohnson}} left/went to sabbatical. The same can be said for Lucas from ''Kids'' and also shares said mascot status with Tori, and not just for being adorable. [[note]] Ironically they both share the same last name, but they are not related and their last name spellings are different by a letter (Tori Va''s''quez and Lucas Va''z''quez). [[/note]]
** The younger Sydney is another huge fan-favorite due to her feisty personality, HiddenDepths, and {{Genre Savvy}}ness.
** Other hugely popular reactors are former ''Teens'' Eric, Jeannie, Adam, (the original) Madison, Chelsea, (the third) Morgan, and Ethan James, the former ''Kid'' Mikaela and Marlhy from ''Teens'', and the ''Elders'' Bill, Catherine, Rock and Don.
** Among staff members, Alex. The associate producer has since 2017 frequently appeared in front of the camera due to Challenge Chalice and FBE Studio Life. (He has since left the company due to new opportunities.)

** Averted with "Kids React to ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales''" ([[ShoutOut woo-oo!]]), even though they are kids and that, like the above ''Teens React'' example, the Fine Brothers only showed the intro sequence. Eleven of the thirteen kids seen in the episode said that they would watch an episode of ''[=DuckTales=]'', and one of the younger kids even said that [[UsefulNotes/TheMillenniumAgeOfAnimation today's cartoons]] are terrible compared to [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation back]] [[WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon then]], and that's just from watching an intro!

* AcceptableTargets:
** It's disturbing how often the kids bring up Creator/LindsayLohan.
** A frequent running joke is [[CulturalCringe that Americans are stupid]]. When asked why ''Series/ToddlersAndTiaras'' was so popular, Megan and Shannon said it was because Americans are stupid. Later, when he watched the Knife Game Song videos, WebVideo/ShaneDawson promptly said "good job America, you're idiots", before being told it was worldwide.
** Copyright lawyers and record labels are not held in high regard by the fanbase, reactees, or even the Fine Bros themselves, owing to how broken [=YouTube=]'s copyright system is. Content ID has only made things worse. This makes the Fine Bros' trademark attempts with the "React" brand even more jarring, especially if you factor in takedowns of other [=YouTubers=]' videos over the title courtesy of their sponsors at Fullscreen, and goes a good way toward explaining the moderate success of the #unsubfinebros movement, as these revelations fly directly against the ideals of the fanbase and image that the Fine Bros themselves cultivated beforehand.
** Racist and homophobic people, for obvious reasons.
** Old technology, because apparently no child born after the year 2006 understands what a slightly-older computer is.
** On a meta level, the Fines themselves have become a punchline after the "React World" fiasco.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The "Teens React to their Audition" format of the ''Reactception'' episodes is unpopular to fans due to showing ''Teens'' cast who never moved from ''Kids'' reacting to their debut episode instead of waiting for them to graduate to ''Adults'', thus resulting the featured reactors' CharacterDevelopment and growth coming off as underwhelming and not as compelling compared to the ones who actually {{graduate|FromTheStory}}d (e.g. ''Teens'' who are former ''Kids'' and ''Adults'' who are former ''Teens'', plus the ones featuring the ''Elders'' reacting to their old photos). After being discontinued for a while, the format was then reused for the ''Adults'' cast members who made their debut in that very show.

* CriticalResearchFailure: The "React Facts" are occasionally prone to this; for example, in a Teens React Fact for "Teens React to WebVideo/{{Sidemen}}", FBE claimed that the final score of that group's 2018 charity [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball football]] match against the [=YouTube=] Allstars was 1-1. In reality, it was actually ''7''-1 in favor of the Sidemen.
** One male guy from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-tWqdEcGN4 "College Kids React To Daft Punk"]] states the dog from the "Da Funk" music video was what the band started out as.
