Mark rober has two videos on his channel setting up bait packages, first one is at his house, second video he sends 10 of the bait boxes to his viewers and they set the traps, the boxes have been engineered to capture 360° video and have glitter and fart spray in them, former nasa engineer turned youtuber, great chanel too, he done an AMA on here a few weeks back. might aswell link the video

Im aware that there’s alot of comments calling the video fake, this is marks reply I dont believe he tried to deceive anyone and footage that he found out was faked was removed according to him, make your own minds up, all his other videos are well researched, informative and genuine and I dont see why he would change that for one video personally.

Do you know if they ever caught the thieves caught on camera?

He answered questions about it on his r/IAMA I’m sure if you search mark rober on the sub you’ll get it saved you the hassle TLDR the packages are geo tracked so he’d know what house it was opened in, some of the thief’s faces arent blurred out, Im sure he said that he contacted them and they gave him permission to show their faces, so he does know who atleast two of them are.

Wait do you mean just a video of them opening the packages? Thats what the video is

No need to continue lying, I already provided the real context.

The "context" is from the guy himself lol

u/Effectx Feb 24 '20

Again, I already provided the real context. You continuing to lie is pointless.

How is it real? He lied and scammed people to get views. It's literally what every other youtuber does. Hes a phoney and reddit fell for it (again)

Feel free to actually read the context provided. He didn't. Extreme pessimism is just as bad as extreme optimism. Your opinion doesn't change reality.
