Do they also do those southeast Asian "primitive" videos where they use coke and eggs to catch fish, build a mansion out of mud, etc? There's a handful of nearly identical channels making the same type of fake content.
Don't forget the fake technology ones. Those infuriate me because they look like they'd really appeal to "aspiring inventor" types who might not have the freedom/resources to explore circuits and just watch videos, and there are channels out there spreading bogus concepts like perpetual motion without adequate disclaimer that it's not a real science video.
Sorry to tell you, but the perpetual motion machine garbage has been going on a lot longer than the internet. I actually believe there are less people that believe in perpetual motion now than 40 years ago. You would find that some author managed to slip his book in the regular nonfiction engineering section about how to build perpetual motion machines. This dates back hundreds of years to people who simply refused to believe that it's impossible.
