@benroyce@mastodon.social There are also some good reasons to suspect AI is involved here.
The precise framing, as seen in the more recent meme, and the fact that such progressive camera angles—with people walking past the camera in a blurred close-up—are quite atypical for that era.
I’ve been studying film for 30 years now—and I had to watch the original video, knowing full well that it’s “real,” just to be convinced.
In just 2–5 years, that’s likely to be much harder if the flood of slop in the media continues like this.

@danimo@kolektiva.social @redsad@ohai.social yup the posting date of 2017 clinches it but in the future, can we trust youtube with truthful posting dates if it is wholly part of an abusive plutocrat agenda?
