The 'Doctor Reacts' thumbnails at a dermatology conference were pure fiction

I hit up a derm conference in Chicago last weekend for work and the expo hall had a booth selling courses to YouTubers. Their sample thumbnails showed a doctor with a shocked face next to 'THIS CREAM KILLS 99% OF SKIN CANCER' and another with 'DON'T USE SUNSCREEN' in red letters. I watched the actual intros they were selling and the videos were just basic ingredient breakdowns, nothing groundbreaking. The presenter straight up told me the key is having the doctor look like they just smelled a fart, not the medicine. It's wild how these titles work on people, I even caught myself wanting to click on their demo reel. Do you guys think medical channels have a higher bar for truth or do they get a pass on the stress face thing? I've seen a few here push the same angle and it bugs me because health stuff is real stakes.
