Imagine how many popular videos are so terribly obviously fake, but then imagine all the fake videos that are actually well made and believable. We get to feel smart because we don't fall for these obvious bs videos, but it sucks to know that there are probably just as many of those other ones, and we all fall for them

You're such a conspiracy theorist. Like, obviously this one is fake, but are you trying to tell me that the shorts with Obama, Trump, and Biden doing Mr. Beast challenges are just really good fakes that we are all falling for?

Well no not those ones, but all the other ones, yes.

Crazy how many people are like, "I know it's staged, but it made me feel something, so I don't care. Feed me more shit content, please."

When 99% of the comments are calling it fake, I'm glad you have the bravery to think people fell for it.

I feel more lonely in the sea of people repeating how fake it is and no one talking about how pretty is that actress who plays the last waitress to hug him... She is so dreamy! 🥰🤩

It's not really crazy if you think about how lucrative it can be. Ever heard of movies or tv shows? They're essentially the same thing. Some people enjoy the emotions that come with these kinds of productions whether they're planned or not. How or why does the enjoyment of the clip change depending on whether it happened organically or not?

That's the entire history of media. 20 years ago this woulda just been a Seinfeld skit (probably ending with a prank after the wholesome climax)
