The Fines began creating content in 2003 and later founded their eponymous Fine Brothers Productions in 2011. Under the Fines, the company was known for producing various series on YouTube, including ''React'' and ''MyMusic''.

React Media's YouTube channels include React, Bullseye, and People vs Food.{{efn|In September 2020, the company rebranded their channels FBE, FBE2, and React as React, FBE, and Replay, respectively.}} The company also produces channels on Facebook (FBE, FBE Shows, Do They Know It, What Would My Kid Do, and Reverse Ratings), Snapchat (Try Not To and React) and Instagram's IGTV. React has produced multiple shows (''React to That'', ''Celebs React'', ''Six Degrees of Everything'', ''Emo Dad'', and ''Sing It!''), and released the feature film ''F the Prom'', in 2017. FBE has over eight billion views and over 32 million subscribers.

Because of the controversy over an attempt to license and trademark the term "React", as well as the names of their series, React Media's channels lost hundreds of thousands of subscribers in early 2016.<ref name="losing">{{cite web|last1=Renfro |first1=Kim |title=A popular YouTube channel is losing followers by the second after going to war with Redditors |url=http://www.businessinsider.com/fine-bros-youtube-channel-reddit-conflict-2016-2 |website=Business Insider |access-date=2016-02-01}}</ref> In 2020, the company became embroiled in allegations by both current and former employees of systemic and casual racism in the workplace, as well as the way in which they presented their content.
