Memorable quotes:
'I doubt Mark would be staging things. He works for Nasa and worked on some big projects there and is a pretty smart guy. I can't see him being the kind of person looking to just make some viral fake video. But up to you to make that call if you want to think that. This is one case where I doubt it's staged.'
'Given who made the video, I'd give it about a 0% probably of being staged. That's not Mark's gig.'
'Well one, he's not a prank channel. He's a serious professional that even showed video of people stealing his package that started the whole idea. He then went as far as to machine parts, have a custom pcb manufactured etc. Then he contaminated cars and residences with glitter, yeah good luck talking random friends to let you bomb their cars and houses with glitter.
I mean, the dude worked for JPL for almost a decade and has his work on Mars, he already gets tons of views and has a history of deep-diving projects. He's also a tv host. He's also a former TED speaker.
Guy has better things to do than stage videos for YouTube.'
If I'm not mistaken, this would be a good example of the halo effect.
- daniel_reetz 8y agoRegarding the NASA affiliation, he doesn't work for NASA anymore. I'm shocked his current employer permits this activity.
- balfirevic 8y agoFrom what I understand, he still maintains that he hasn't staged anything and was duped by his friends. If that is true the text you quoted still stands.
