It's kind of like Let's Play, but for videos.
The host (usually called a "reactor") watches a video that they've never seen before, and we get to witness their first reactions to it. Some reactors also like doing predictions before they watch the video, or a quick analysis afterwards, but the main part is the reaction itself.
There are several channels on YouTube dedicated mostly to reaction videos (called "reaction channels"). They gather small but dedicated fandoms who enjoy watching their favorite reactor's reaction to different videos. Some of these reactors craft a specific persona they play on-camera to make their reactions more interesting to watch. Their video choice usually involves a movie trailer, music video, viral video, rap battle, or Vine compilation.
Other YouTubers sometimes also make reaction videos; "reacting to my old videos" is an especially popular theme. Another is having a professional (doctor, lawyer, priest, etc.) react to the Artistic Licence with regard to their domain present in popular media.
It has gained traction as a method of avoiding the website's infamous copyright strikes, allowing many of the original removed videos to remain on the site in some form.

The Simpsons: In "Bart vs. Itchy & Scratchy", Lisa records herself while she watches the premiere of the gender-flipped version of The Itchy & Scratchy Show, while Bart and his friends are boycotting it with a "hate not-watch" party downstairs. While she records, Bart walks in to tell her to turn it down, but he catches a glimpse of the show and laughs at it; his reaction becomes part of the video, and is subsequently branded a hypocrite.

ClickHole parodied this trope in a video where people watch the opening sequence of Up, but instead of being affected by the tragedy depicted in the movie, the viewers make Captain Obvious comments.

Scootertrix the Abridged has a side series of Celestia and Luna React videos, where those versions of Celestia and Luna give in-character reactions to My Little Pony toy commercials and fan animations like "Lullaby for a Princess" and "Let It Go (a Nightmare Moon parody)". (The voice actors had seen the videos beforehand and broadly planned most of the jokes, but the actual dialogue was improvised.)

React: A series by The Fine Brothers that started back in 2010 and inspired most other YouTube reactors. Their videos feature several people reacting to one video, and then giving their opinions on it. The reactors are grouped together either by their age (kids, teens, adults, elders) or celebrity status (YouTubers, celebrities). This series' popularity was most likely what inspired all other reaction channels on YouTube, even though none of them follow their exact formula.

Mick Foley shares an anecdote in his second book, Foley is Good, where ABC News showed him a video of some backyard wrestlers and asked for his reaction. Having been tipped off beforehand that they were going to show him some pretty horrific stuff, he said, "That looked like a lot of fun...but I have a feeling there's another video you're going to show me." They showed him the second video, and his response was to say that the kids in the video were being very unsafe and he did not condone any of it. When they broadcast it on TV, they showed the second video but his first reaction, "That looked like a lot of fun!"
