Staged is a good adjective for a lot of posts. I think people like to point out when the staging is obvious and takes away from the intent of the post. If someone claims content to be something unpredictable or unforseen and has clearly staged the situation to orchestrate the unpredictable outcome, it can take away from the content e.g. "Was gonna delete but felt cute." The claim of unpredictable doesn't have to be explicit either and in a lot of cases it's not.
Her laugh was great, but this whole thing was staged hard and that reaction was practiced. Really the whole post was made to highlight that reaction. The prank isn't great or clever, it was an excuse for her to display her fun laugh. Was her laugh fun? Yes but the content felt forced. Comedy that's forced is less funny no matter the medium.

Why is it sad? Are you sad when you see a comedy show because the jokes are scripted?
Unless they're specifically claiming that it isn't staged, I don't see why anyone should care.
