REACT, officially React Media and formerly FBE and TheFineBros, is an American media company founded by brothers Benny Fine (born: ) and Rafi Fine (born: ), who are best known for their successful React video series Kids React, Teens React, Elders React, YouTubers React and Adults React, their several timed spoiler series, narrative web series, as well as creating the first transmedia sitcom on YouTube, MyMusic.
REACT have been creating content online since 2004, and have found success on YouTube where their main channel, FBE. The Fine Brothers also have a secondary channel, under the name FBE (formerly FBE2 & TheFineBros2); which they launched on May 14, 2009. The secondary channel has accumulated over 1 million subscribers. They release behind the scenes content, as well as clips from their news podcast "All We Know" on the secondary channel. They performed in Annoying Orange.
On July 27, 2014, The Fine Bros released a third channel called REPLAY, which houses new diverse shows for the stars of the React videos (Kids, Teens, Adults and Elders) and FBE staff, including gaming, food, music, and game shows.
In 2016, the Fine Brothers were criticized for attempting to trademark/copyright the word "React", which meant no other YouTuber can make reaction videos. In one week, their subscriber count reduced from 14M to 13.5M. In mid-2020, they were again criticized for their discriminatory actions and toxic workplace allegations that ultimately resulted in them leaving after their company was acquired by Electric Monster in 2021.

In January 2014, The Fine Bros teamed up with Nick Cannon to come up with a tv series based on the Kids & Teens reacts (with the actors from the shows appearing in it) on Nickelodeon. They filmed a pilot episode and are waiting on Nickelodeon to decide if they want to make it into an actual show. It was later announced that the show was picked up for a season started on December 15, 2014 and ended on January 1, 2015. It was announced on Fine Time that the show would not be renewed for a second season.
==Everything==
On January 22, 2015, it was announced that REACT would be teaming up with TruTV to produce Six Degrees of Everything. The show had Rafi and Benny hosting comedy segments to illustrate how anything in the world can be connected by six degrees. The show aired from August 18, 2015 to October 20, 2015. According to The Fine Brothers, the show wasn't picked up for a second season.

==Controversy==
===React Around The World===
On January 26, 2016, the REACT announced that they would license and trademark their existing React series and let creators create their own react series. In particular, REACT attempted to trademark the term "react", which is used in the title of numerous other YouTube videos unrelated to the Fine Brothers' YouTube channel. The announcement was met with backlash from their viewers and fellow YouTube content creators, many of whom believed REACT were attempting to prohibit the creation of reaction videos by people unaffiliated with their channel. In response, the brothers promised that they will "not be trying to take revenue from other types of reaction videos, and will not be copyright-striking." However, other YouTubers have reported multiple copyright related video takedowns. There have also been claims that another YouTube channel was producing Seniors React videos prior to the Fine Brothers Elders React series. The backlash led to a dramatic drop in subscribers, with over 400,000 accounts unsubscribing from the channel in protest.
On February 1, the REACT apologized and claimed to rescind all React trademarks and trademark applications, discontinued the React World program, and released all previous Content ID claims. In addition, the Fine Brothers removed their original React World announcement video, as well as their update video which addressed initial backlash. However, many other YouTubers reuploaded the 2 videos.
