That $120 drone gimmick video burned me but the real deal footage was in the comments

Ngl I clicked a thumbnail that promised a 4K drone shot of a wildfire from like 3 miles away. The video was basically a paid ad for some cheap quad with a camera that looked like it was shot through a dirty window. I almost dropped $120 on it because the thumbnail was so crisp and dramatic. Good thing I scrolled to the comments before buying. Some random guy posted a clip from his actual $900 setup and it was night and day. That comment section did more honest work than the whole video ever did. Has anyone else found that the real truth in clickbait land is hiding in the comment section under all the bots?

Wait, people are actually getting real footage in the comments now?

Three years ago I'd have laughed at you @blair70, but now I check comments before even trusting the video itself.
