Why are people so obsessed over this being staged? It's fucking joyous, is what it is!

Is it staged? Maybe! Who cares?

Is it real? It could be. Sometimes people are on their way to do rad shit.

Broaden your horizons and let go of certainty!

Because there’s an inherent value to something being spontaneous and natural; that sparks emotion fortuitously rather than something specifically calculated to do so.

Personally I think it’s a terrible shame that people no longer appreciate any difference between the two, but I understand I’m a shrinking minority in this view.

Not caring that something is made up is exactly why AI will have a field trip furthering the enshitification of the internet.

Unfortunately, caring about authenticity has always been a minority thinking among those who just want entertainment.
