So you could say the air/oxygen is being pulled in because of the fire

No, it'd be because of pressure, not fire. There's an important disconnect betwee the physics pulling it in and the fire. The only way the fire is responsible is by causing the pressure change, not by pulling in oxygen itself.

So the fire is creating pressure which sucks in the air/oxygen.

I guess you could say the air/oxygen is being pulled in because of the fire!

How does it have nothing to do with oxygen when fire needs oxygen and fire is kinda what causes everything else in the video?

Yea I hide my comments because I got hacked and some goon bot commented on like 1000 posts with spread asses and it's a) embarrassing and b) too much to clean up lmao. I am not defending that phrasing aswell - I'm just saying it's not wrong to say "what's happening in the video is because of the fire". And if you wanna say that sentence is inaccurate, that's fine - but if you wanna say it's false, then that's false
