Hopefully they will incorporate this exception into their headline; this is the only "primitive" channel with which I was familiar.

There's only so much you can fit into a headline before it becomes too unwieldy. They pretty clearly indicated that one was legit, and it was used as a truthful example throughout the video. They even used that creator as a kind of outside expert to evaluate the fake videos.

    Just one additional word needed. No excuse. Ironically, this clickbait style is similar to the fraud being described in the video.

The title is "How primitive building videos are staged," what one additional word to you propose adding to distinguish the Primitive Technology channel's videos from all others? If you're thinking something like "many," that really doesn't really clarify much if anything.

        It clarifies that there's more than one and only some of them are fake. if you've only seen the original it reduces the clockbate-iness of the video because you can then presume that the original one you saw is actually legit and it's the second comers that are fake, without watching the video.
