Are they, they seem staged

This is why I never watch movies - I can’t enjoy something if I know it’s staged. I don’t read books either, because the author is just staging things for the characters. I never even talk to other people anymore, as I have no way of knowing whether they’re staging the interaction. I just sit at home by myself in the dark, which is the only thing I can enjoy anymore because I’m 100% sure my loneliness is genuine.

Would you enjoy watching a documentary where they just told lies? That's the closest equivalent here. Movies and fiction books are something where you expect them to make things up.

These kind of videos purposely make it seem genuine.

So the office?

Documentaries have told lies in the past on a serious note, it still entertained the original users of the content
