You basically have to pretend it's the most amazing song you've ever heard to gain an audience.
The sad part is always the comments where people interact with the content creator as though the commentary/analysis was done in good faith. 'So happy you enjoyed Nutshell...do Would? next time...I think you'll love it!!!1!'

It could also be that they choose not to post reviews of stuff they don’t like. Particularly if it’s a more technical review of songs structure or vocal technique or whatever… Do they want to post stuff shredding someone else’s work? But yeah, there’s probably an element of playing nice.
Ask for whether these are genuine reactions… At least for the classically trained reviewers they tend to be reacting to heavy metal for the most part, and in my experience these people would genuinely not be familiar with any of that stuff.
Edit: I also avoid the videos that are just pure reaction like that slaps, uh, it’s got a nice beat
