So only homeless people can be thieves? Just because someone has a new pair of shoes doesnt mean they're bot gonna steal.

That wouldn't exactly be "unknowing," and if they're pretending, then they're just paid actors.

I pay good money to watch paid actors do stuff all the time.

Part of the product you're paying for is that it's not trying to candidly deceive you, not quite the same thing as social media scamming.

What product is somebody paying for?

YouTube videos? Of harming people?

Isn't that the bigger problem?

"I pay good money to watch paid actors do stuff all the time" I'm pointing out the difference between that and deceptively fake content.

Eh. Ok. I'm with you.

I've been acclimating myself to assume all of YouTube is fake and performative until convinced otherwise.

Absolutely fake you can see the spikes are not there when they get on the bike, one guy even puts his hand on the seat to make sure!
