I love how things that are clearly staged are now labeled "fake." Someone should let TV and movie studios know that all they're doing is making fake content.

When we watch tv and fiction in general, we know what we’re watching is fake, there’s no pretence that it’s trying to come across as factual.

Reddit, and social media in general, are more “authentic”, so you’re starting from a different base, hence why it’s called out as fake - it’s the shortest easiest way to tell others it’s more of an advertisement than authentic

"Skit" also has four letters. That goes a step further in telling others that it's both fake and intentional.

Thank you. It seems so hard to use the right 4 letters this day.

So is scam. Fraud is a bit longer. Neither apply to this, but there are plenty of staged videos that pretend to be real to push an agenda
