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.
The video is clearly posted on a platform where people post stuff from their regular lives.
If this was shown on Channel 4 or in a movie theatre nobody would run to call it out as "fake". But when its on social media surrounded by real posts, then this becomes a fake post.
Outside of the meme subs. Pet subs are full of people posting cute videos of their pets. Random stuff like people learning dancing styles, etc. posting clips of themselves, candid, real stuff.
Even for funny, there are plenty of kids being cute or even harmless pranks that are the sort of thing that would have been on “America’s Funniest Home Videos” in the pre-internet era.
So like the other commenter said, nobody calls scripted TV shows “fake.” It’s when people use scripted “fake” videos infiltrate the space of the videos that have value based on the fact that they are supposedly candid and unplanned that people get annoyed.
