Just one additional word needed. No excuse. Ironically, this clickbait style is similar to the fraud being described in the video.

The title is "How primitive building videos are staged," what one additional word to you propose adding to distinguish the Primitive Technology channel's videos from all others? If you're thinking something like "many," that really doesn't really clarify much if anything.


It clarifies that there's more than one and only some of them are fake. if you've only seen the original it reduces the clockbate-iness of the video because you can then presume that the original one you saw is actually legit and it's the second comers that are fake, without watching the video.


> ...without watching the video.

No, it's a mistake to rely on a headline like that. A headline isn't a precis.
