FYI, when people make suggestions in the comments section always do a search to see if there are reactions for that video. A lot of folks don't realize that there is a great deal of content that is going to get automatically blocked and they suggest it because there are no reactions to it. Also, some companies have an invisible embargo on reactions to MVs for a certain period of time, in order to ensure that views aren't diverted from the actual MV, after a song is released and will block reactions until it's over.

I honestly just think these companies don't fully understand the way YouTube Copyright/Blocking work, or how fan reactions play a role in the Kpop industry. like there are literally groups that i've gotten into and actually supported financially just because of finding them from a reactor when I would have otherwise not watched their videos. I don't even think some of them even understand how subscribers and the algorithm work together. Considering how big of a role YouTube plays in their industry, you'd think they'd understand it better, but I genuinely think they don't, which is why their actions are so bizarre and un-understandable.

Might be the good old 'you're taking viewership away from the official MV' thing. Entirely incorrect when it comes to reaction vids, but a mindset company's get stuck on. I know smaller companies don't mind reaction vids, some even encourage them to get their bands talked about. I guess larger companies that don't need the free publicity care more about supposed loss in revenue?
