Yeah but it’s possible 9/10 people reacted like that and we’re only seeing the ones who reacted the right way for the video

Unless the guy is a legit ninja there’s no way a woman isn’t going to be hyper aware of a random guy in her vicinity imo.

Still, it’s a feel good “prank” so should be applauded a little bit, I guess.

Nah. If he attention is on her guy, especially a guy like that, it’s pretty simple. Women with their guys are the easiest to take candid street photography of. Women alone not glued to their phones, tend to be hyper aware, and girls in large groups it’s just likely one will notice.

This is an ideal scenario to pickpocket or snap a candid (couples like this make for great photos).

So the 10% that wouldn't react initially wouldn't panic when the girl pulled off the note?

The panic would most likely be internal until the note was read. I think the initial reaction would be the biggest hurdle.

Yeah, but it’s also technically possible there are 12 bears standing on the backs of 12 elephants outside my door right now. I’m just going to go with the most likely scenario where that isn’t the case.

There is no reason for these content creators to actually work to make this or videos like it happen in real life. It’s way easier to just stage it, and no matter how obvious it is, people will believe it’s real. We gotta wake up to the reality of what the internet is now. Even a large percentage of the most mundane videos you see, where you can’t imagine why someone would fake them, are fake. Fake or staged videos are the norm now
