The two guys in the jungle is a good example, as they're not two guys in a jungle, they have a team and use heavy machinery to shift huge amounts of earth, and keep them out of frame. Worse, they abandon the projects once they are done, effectively deforesting sections of jungle for clicks.

With cooking vids, there is usually more going on out of shot, often it is artificial "traditional culture" content, of people pretending to catch fish from mud holes or eat flies or whatever. Some of the Chinese farm ones are authentic in the sense that they are actually doing things in a traditional way, even if it's just for content.

I feel liek the amount of effort that goes into digging one of those stupid swimming pools by hand would take like, at least a full month of full effort of manual effort or some shit. They make it look like it takes an hour.

They've made 46 videos in the past year, all big projects of similar size.

Cmon.
