There's a whole eco-system that's popped up around Asmon, to get noticed by him is definitely a boon because there's many examples where he'll watch a video with 200 views, like it alot, and he'll tell the audience "here's the link to the video, give them a sub, a like & a view guys" and it works, it's a huge boon to other channels because Asmon's audience is built different.
Semi-related, during recent India-Pakistan aggression videos Asmongold has made, he pulls stats for his channel which shows how surprisingly global his audience is, with many viewers in turd-world countries such as India.
Because it's so valuable to be shown or featured on Asmongold's reacts once or repeatedly, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a system to game with the moderators of his twitch channel and/or subreddit to get artificially featured or pushed up into baldy's eyes as an ideal piece of content for him. There's nothing weird about being a small creator and just posting your own video to plebbit and hoping for the best, but with this much turn-key money involved in slop videos, I'm sure you could "pay to play" if you knew the right profile to ping. After a certain point, it becomes both inevitable and expected that it gets min/maxed this way.
The Asmon-rev connection isn't weird per se, but it might be valuable in the future to make a spider web chart of who Asmon regularly reacts to since this is interesting to a few people. A follow-the-money sort of reference point.
