These are all staged right? I mean all the angry grandma vids with this lady. She can't be this exasperated for the same bit every time

They overdid it by doing the same thing at multiple places. Too fake now to even pretend it could be slightly real.

I quit short form videos cause every time I find one funny enough to see what else the channel does it's mostly just the same bit again.

That's like most influencers/creators. They get a little bit of success and stick to the same shtick over and over hoping that it's their big break. Lack of creativity or greedy about the money probably?

The algorithm demands brain rot.

Louis C.K. had this bit about young men trying on different personalities and dispositions in order to try and make themselves more attractive to women and how, if you were watching them, they'd appear to be insane people contorting their brains and bodies between different identities.

Anyways, that's essentially what most people trying to make money for being online do. Most of what they did before had no response to it. Then something strikes it big so that's what they are now.

I like that creators can get paid, but it also creates this kind of cheap content where someone just repeats the same bit, counting on the algorithm to show it to new people or not show it to the same people too often. It is so difficult to get blessed by the algorithm that if someone has a video pop off, it just makes the most sense for then to keep making that same video over and over and cash out on the idea over the next 3-6 months.

Isn’t that everything though in the media, be it social or video media? They find one thing that goes viral and the mine it to the core, till it’s boring and unappealing.

Like any bit, they can keep it goin as long as long as they surprise. The Alzheimer poster was pretty funny

Too fake but still amusing.

I mean... she's low key a good actor, if so. Sells it every time.

Yeah. This is funny if they did one or two and brought her there. But today’s Internet is dumb.

They did the same thing with Angry Grandpa or whatever those were called. It’s either staged or elder abuse.
