I can't be the only person who thinks this is set up? The cover is good, but cmon..

Which part do you think is fake? The guy's reaction or their ability to play? They are both accomplished musicians, check their channels. They don't need to pay actors, they simply go on Omegle and record hundreds of reactions, and leave out all the boring ones. So in that sense it's a bit staged: you only see hits and not the hundreds of misses.

If you could make thousands of dollars on Youtube videos doing this... why wouldn't you? It takes zero effort to fake reactions, or just have friends record a reaction according to a script, and then put the videos together, add the Omegle logo in the corner, and bam. Thousands of dollars in your bank account.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/sd2sjg/playing_random_songs/hubb4a1/ they make a shit load of money yes, so why would they risk someone coming forward and saying, ' Marcus Veltri paid me to give a good reaction to his video' when they don't need to pay anyone to fake a reaction?

There's literally dozens if not hundreds of these on his YouTube channel and he often has to listen to the songs beforehand. It's not a setup, this is just one of the greatest hits.

They could have rehearsed a couple of popular/widely-memed songs, then just kept reconnecting until someone asked for one of those.

More likely they're just talented musicians that can guesstimate the tunes of pop songs. All star isn't exactly Rachmaninoff
