A framing I think a lot of people miss is that when you're watching videos online, you are literally watching reality TV.
The medium may be different; the crew may be a different size (though maybe not). But at the end of the day, that's what online videos are; they're reality TV.
Which means you should approach anything from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc. with the exact same (highly warranted) incredulity you might give to The Bachelor, House Hunters, Dr. Phil, etc.
