So now I'm just pissed off. I think at one point it may have been genuine, like there's some early, less polished footage that seems like it could've been legit, but now I'm like...nope, I'm onto you

yeah exactly, though, even then, are they mentioning throughout the video how they learned about the facts they’re saying? or is it just presenting a bunch of facts, likely cribbed from other people’s videos, illuminaughtii style
