My uncle told me in his garage back in 2016 that you can't trust a video unless you check who paid for it
He showed me a clip about a miracle seed oil that turned out to be made by the company selling it, and now I check the uploader's about page on everything I see. What's the fastest way you all trace who's actually behind a viral clip?
Uncle Gary was ahead of his time, because that About page trick catches about half of them before you even watch the clip. The other half hide behind repost accounts, so I just search the channel name plus "who owns" and usually a Reddit thread has already done the digging for me.
