Viral Video of Glitter Bomb for Package Thieves Exposed as Partial Fake

Tbh, as someone who've never seen his videos before, "this is probably fake" is the first thing that came to my mind
That thing seemed way over-engineered anyway for something that just explodes glitter everywhere.
His friend wanted cool footage and faked two instances. Creator had no idea and when he found out he immediately announced it and removed the fake footage. His response was perfect to the issue. Some of yall are so ready to drag people you come across as hysterically blood thirsty.
There's a history of faked prank videos on YouTube. Someone presents compelling evidence of a fake and the creator provides an explanation. Now it's up to us to believe it or not. People who were initially suspicious of him are now feeling pretty vindicated and are expressing it here in a thread entirely devoted to the topic.
What's strange about any of this to you?
He seems like a nice guy and doesn't make me immediately want to stick a screwdriver into my eye socket to lobotomize myself like 99% of YouTubers, so I will forgive him.
Where is this from and how come I'm always seeing it as a first post?
Because why would you open a package spraying out glitter and a toxic spray? I would probably Chuck that thing into the bay. Or run it over a few times with my truck to be sure my prints were no longer on it.
Yup and surprisingly no one actually did that. Because all of the reactions were fake.
Only a small snippet was fake and it was fake unbeknownst to him. He also removed it. He should have vetted it more, but he fixed the issue. It’s fine.
It wasn’t “all” fake. Only the part he removed after learning a friend of a friend faked their section.
That is if you believe his story. There's no reason to take it at face value.
You don't think it's fishy that only 2 of the reactions are truly fake and that he has no direct connection with either and is therefore not the one to be blamed? This dude can't even straight up admit that they were faked. He gotta put it on his friend who doesn't even live in his city lol.
No I don't. I've had packages stolen on-camera before. But it just isn't happening all that often to the same houses over and over again that consistently.
If the rest of the video turns out to be fake, then it turns out to be fake. I don't have reason to doubt his story at this point.
Omfg this, I hated all those fake-ass "In da Hood" prank videos perpetuating negative black stereotypes.
As I was watching this video, I kept thinking "please don't be black, please don't be black". So I was relieved that the 2 black package thieves turned out to be fake, but pissed that they intentionally got 2 black people to fake a package theft.
Not shocked at all from the first viewing. I mean... It's like "oh shit under all this glitter is 4 free iPhones! Oh no they got location on! There's most certainly no way around that! Throw it out of the car man."
This Imagur post used Google maps to show that Cici's package was "stolen" by her next-door neighbors. Mark Ruber used GPS to retrieve the stolen packages, so he didn't find it suspicious that it was literally in her neighbors trash??
Wouldn't the friend that faked it also retrieve it?This Imagur post used Google maps to show that Cici's package was "stolen" by her next-door neighbors. Mark Ruber used GPS to retrieve the stolen packages, so he didn't find it suspicious that it was literally in her neighbors trash??
Dude is a (was a?) NASA engineer. I’d probably give him the benefit of the doubt. He’s not Pewdiepie.
