Great vid with interesting content (pun intended)... 😆
But seriously, the more "authentic" and spontanious content is the most memorable virals.
The more authentic content also exists in for example music. Also in TV- & Live-shows (bloopers) and many other crowd attention searching entertainment businesses...
