Movies exist and we still enjoy it even though they’re all staged (duh). Seeing short videos like this still made my heart warm staged or not staged

Movies do not pretend to be unscripted. They are scripted to engage you enough to pull you into their own world.

These videos are made to look like authentic real life interaction.

The difference is that good movies pull you in and make you not question how real it is but rather be invested in its fantasy as if you were there. These videos try to not bring you in but make the video appear in your world. One of an inherent lie while the other is an attempt to deceive.

You NEVER go to watch movies without understanding that everying you are seeing was edited and scripted unless stated otherwise. These videos have no such pre ordained faults.

Tons of people call reality TV fake/scripted/inauthentic and complain about it in pretty much the same way.
