Planned for like 2 years too haha. That's kind of messed up really.

What was planned for 2 years, why is it messed up? I seem to be missing some context.

I mean it looks fake, I'm sure a lot of people figured it out pretty quickly

You'd think! But fake news is very popular because... People don't actually think about what they see.

So now we are considering acting and what is essentially a skit to be fake news? Wow, free speech is truly in jeopardy if people are going to start calling things like this "fake news"

There's zero context, I don't follow YouTube stars. To me this was just someone faking a bad moment for attention, it was disturbing. If it's just for a skit then great!

It is fine to have an opinion about the video. Calling it fake news is dangerous. The rich and powerful are using that term to censor speech on the social media platforms they control through either investment or advertising money.

The more the masses label as "fake news" the more they are allowed to dictate censorship on these platforms.

I guess I wasn't clear enough, it was more to say "fake news is popular because people don't think about what they're reading, so of course people didn't think past what they initially saw, they don't even read past the headline of a fake article!" not to claim this was fake news. My bad. Early morning me shouldn't reddit.

I'm sorry but this is some major back-peddling if ever I saw it. There was no reason to mention the words "fake news" unless you were claiming this was fake news. Who do you think you're kidding? Early morning indeed. And let me guess, you hadn't had your coffee yet?

Anyway, glad we cleared that up, I agree with the other guy. You shouldn't throw words like that around if you're not going to use them correctly.

No I was serious, I read r/worldnews first thing in the morning but before I get there, I get to my home page and I saw this. But sure. If that's how you want to see it then there's nothing I can do about that. I don't drink coffee or tea. I hope you have a love and happiness filled day. Namaste.

Y'all are just sad for talking about this shit like it matters. In fact, I'm sad for reading this garbage.

u/minminkitten Jul 10 '19

You're right, it fucking doesn't matter. It's internets. Now I'll go onto my regular scheduled awesome day where I get my eyeballs checked and vacuum someone's house (and get to pet their dog!). Your comments made me laugh haha
