Viewer Guidance (2 tips)
▶

Evaluate the ask

Calls to action follow emotional buildup. Consider whether the ask would feel as urgent without the preceding framing.

▶

Consider alternative frames

Information is consistently shaped from one angle. Seek out how other sources present the same facts.

Performed authenticity

AI detected as: Manufactured Authenticity

The deliberate construction of "realness" — confessional tone, casual filming, strategic vulnerability — designed to lower your guard. When someone appears unpolished and honest, you evaluate their claims less critically. The spontaneity is rehearsed.

Anchoring

AI detected as: Value Anchoring

Presenting an extreme number or claim first so everything after seems reasonable by comparison. The first piece of information becomes your reference point — even when it's arbitrary or deliberately inflated. Works even when you know the anchor is irrelevant.
