I like watching dash cam videos. I would hate to see a staged one, and would complain loudly about it not being real. That doesn't mean I want more accidents and near-accidents, it means anyone faking a dash cam video should not submit anything at all.

If you want to do a skit, make a skit.

This reminds me of the film Nightcrawler.

I don't think the videos being staged is the issue, it's that they are staged without disclosure. We want to be entertained, but not lied to. A sitcom or summer blockbuster is a lie too, but we're all pretty clear about that going in. I think reality TV and cable news regularly crosses that line though.

Well I think his issue is that the staged stuff(that pretends it isn't staged) leads to people trying to copycat the format and do it unstaged

Maybe but most people complain about staged stuff for not being "real."

And in this case it was 'staged' but involved a random victim.
