Unfortunately ragebait is more popular/valuable than just "huh, that's kinda cool".
...and people fall for it time and time again.
Not necessarily manipulated videos like OP's, but just straight-up fake/staged ragebait videos literally designed to rile people up and start spitting bile in the comments. There are entire viral video marketing companies based on that whole concept. UK based ItsGoneViral being one of the worst.
man that’s so shameful. im not surprised. tbh, NOTHING i see or hear about these days surprises me. im just like… oh. we’re all desensitized to the bullshit. i learned to just take what i see or hear about these days w/ a grain of salt and i use my own discernment to sift through the fuckery.

never seen the video but not surprised that the truth of a viral social media video was manipulated and shifted to get a bigger reaction from folks.
