We can monetize their stupidity. Before we had actors/clowns acting silly but otherwise nothing to dramatic. Then America's funniest home videos showed that you don't need much just like 30 seconds... follow the trend to Jackass/Viva la Bam/Dudesons..etc and now we're caught up to stupid tiktok trends where most of the drama is staged. I'm sure some of americas funniest home videos were too but i'd wager most were just funny moments that just happened to be caught.
If this guy pulled it off he gets clout for doing it if he fails he gets attention for failing. Any attention is good attention until the world turns on you (Ed Sheeran) even then you write a book about " how the world turned on me in 7 days" and shill a cryto coin while your in the limelight.
think about it we really did monetize stupid to the point where its a profession... look at "A simple life" or any reality TV.. we want people we can point at and say " well i'm smarter then them" .
"I'm smarter THAN them" , I believe :) Sorry, just giving you a hard time. Sadly, I think you're right, lots of stuff seems like a bit of a race to the bottom.
As kids we watched CKY/Jackass and made our own videos. Which led us to do really dumb stuff we probably wouldn't have done.
At least back then it was stuck on VHS tapes. 1 of our friends dads saw the tale and immediately broke it and threw it away. Then took my friends cam recorder till we stopped. As kids we were mad but as an adult I realized he was just destroying evidence so none of the things we did could be used in a lawsuit.
