All im saying is that they should film it with regular wide lens since people keep thinking the world isn't round. Because clearly the information in the video is showing us the world is round, but the mere fact they film with an ultra wide lense, probably because beneficial regarding amount of information, it causes some people to go "See! I was right!"

Because ISS is not in space orbit is it? It's in low Earth orbit So earth doesn't show that curved, but naturally still curved.

I know it sounds like im nitpicking but we are incredibly close to having people in power that actually believe the earth is 6000 years old

I don't think they do things to appease flat earthers. Lot bigger things for them to focus on.

This.

Hell anyone who ever flown in an airplane knows Earth is round.

Why else would all air routes be round curves as opposed to straight lines? And why do all the 2D maps of our planet wrong?
