It's interesting how you're complaining about so much content being staged. I much prefer that this type of content is staged. The alternative appears to be harassing random strangers like the case in the article.
With staged content the only victim is the duped audience who can always just not watch TikTok.

- tsol 4y agoWell I think his issue is that the staged stuff(that pretends it isn't staged) leads to people trying to copycat the format and do it unstaged
- admax88qqq 4y agoMaybe but most people complain about staged stuff for not being "real."
- Dylan16807 4y agoI like watching dash cam videos. I would hate to see a staged one, and would complain loudly about it not being real. That doesn't mean I want more accidents and near-accidents, it means anyone faking a dash cam video should not submit anything at all. If you want to do a skit, make a skit.
- dwringer 4y agoThis reminds me of the film Nightcrawler.
- autoexec 4y agoI don't think the videos being staged is the issue, it's that they are staged without disclosure. We want to be entertained, but not lied to. A sitcom or summer blockbuster is a lie too, but we're all pretty clear about that going in. I think reality TV and cable news regularly crosses that line though.
