It doesn't really have many restrictions, though the ones as you described that have the pure emotional reaction are the most prominent.
The Fine Bros (now known as just 'React') are one of the most successful and oldest examples of a channel built around the genre, though they've also expanded beyond reacting to just YouTube videos.
'Vlogs' in the current sense are as you described, not really related to reaction videos at all. I wouldn't say a new term is necessarily needed for the sort of videos in this thread, they're pretty standard for the reaction genre.

Thanks for differentiating between the two.
From these videos and the others I have seen, the "reactors" get a lot of requests in the comments. Anybody here can promote our girl by posting requests for JEAM or maybe La Isla Bonita (the two most frequent entry videos) on these channels.
