So many youtube reactors post only 10 minutes of movie footage as fair use and point to sites like Patreon to watch their full-length reactions, but how is that not a copyright infringement? Does paywalling copyrighted content let them get away with it?

The reactions you see on youtube usually include portions of the film or thing they’re watching. If they don’t want to get in trouble on Patreon most will make you provide your own movie or tv show and watch along with a time sync and occasional shots of the film to make sure you’re still synced. So if you’re watching on Patreon you’d need to have two windows on your screen. One for the Patreon video and one for the actual movie. How you get that movie is up to you.
Now some creators will include the movie but those creators are taking big risks and someone can report the video especially if it’s hosted on Youtube to get it DMCA’d.
Also fair use is for 10 seconds not 10 minutes. But if they keep breaking the audio, talking over it or distorting it and blurring the video every couple second or edit it where you see them instead of the video, that resets the fair use limit I guess.
