Unpopular opinion: I slowed down that new apology video to 0.25x speed and the eye contact is totally fake.
After pausing it frame by frame, I noticed the actor kept glancing at a specific spot just below the camera lens, which my friend who works on a TV crew in Burbank told me is a standard teleprompter position, so now I'm convinced the whole 'heartfelt' moment was just a scripted performance. Has anyone else caught a tell like that in a recent video?

Wait, you can do that? That's so sneaky...

It's not really sneaky if it's in the terms of service. A lot of people just don't read the fine print before they click agree. You'd be surprised what's actually allowed.

Read somewhere that a lot of these apology scripts are actually written by PR teams before they even record anything. The person just shows up and reads what they're told. Saw a breakdown on Twitter where someone compared three different apology videos from different creators and they all had the same structure word for word. It's kind of wild how they think nobody notices the formula. The teleprompter thing tracks with what I've heard too. Makes the whole thing feel even more hollow than it already was.
