It honestly feels more like ragebait rather than a genuine interaction. Right from the first clip, the guy was trying to read and kept messing it up so bad that it felt exaggerated rather than natural. Then later on, when that woman answered a question like “Who fought in the Civil War?” with “soldiers,” it made me feel like it had to be intentional or staged.
Obviously, nobody knows for sure what’s real behind the scenes, but it’s hard for me to imagine people willingly posting clips where they look that uninformed unless they’re in on the joke, getting something out of it, or playing along for engagement.
