It literally doesn't matter how good or bad they are at acting, all that matters is the game gets coverage on their channel, that's exactly what the campaigns are paying them thousands for. Yes, thousands.

I was providing evidence that because this fear does not exist in infants, it is not innate. It is learned. If it was innate, infants would also be scared.
>I absolutely cannot imagine fearing a vampire when looking down a dark alleyway
I find it extremely funny how literal you took this. The fear of the unknown is that feeling we get when we don't know. For example being in the middle of a forest at night, not knowing what those sounds are or if people are around. Alternatively, that terror we feel when we see images of the deep dark ocean. This fear of the unknown is what fuels our other fears. Such as social anxiety, we fear the social interaction because we do not know what is going to happen, only that our mind starts racing to worst potentials.
Hope that explains it in a way you can understand. Avoiding mention of vampires because I don't think the fictional creatures helps grasp the concept of the unknown.
The imagination spectrum applies to all senses, so we all have varying degrees of it. Some can visualize every sense very well, others only vague faint unclear versions, some a mix!
For example if asked to visualize a green banana, and you can only see vague, unclear, faint outlines of a banana, that's hypophantasia. If you cannot see an image at all, it's aphantasia. Some might see vivid details of the banana, like the matte skin and subtle green gradient, they fall under hyperphantasia. Others who lack the details but are still clear considered phantasia.
This also applies to all other senses, like being able to imagine a sound or smell.
So in the past a study on infants might claim that with seeing spiders they show fear, but modern studies only demonstrate infants show increased alertness. Contrasted with adults/older kids where this fear shows up as we expect in brain scans and behaviors. Basically, it's a learned fear, and is also why we don't see other animals in the same way when logically we should.
The fundamental fear of the unknown makes more sense as a source, in which the fear of demons or vampires becomes understandable when they were created to creatively prey on the unknown. Eg. vampires lurking in the shadows/night. This fear of the unknown can also explain why exposure therapy can be so effective, you're filling that void with knowledge.
This fear of the unknown would also explain why new modern creature creations can be scary, despite quite literally knowing they cannot physically exist, we still have that little bit of our amygdala going "but what if we don't know..."
You'll be extremely hard pressed to find researchers conducting these twin studies who minimize the role of either genetic or environmental impact on certain aspects in the way you did.
This view stems from Judeo-Christian beliefs. The very invention of marriage was a separation of community, where men wanted ownership of women and their children.
I also wonder if you're fully aware of how much you've attempted to repackage the original sin in your comment.
Again, get a court order and they'll take action. They are legally required to. Random Moldovan ISPs don't operate at the scale CF does, no wonder they were faster. Probably also easier to bribe as well ;)
Only Google could mess up such an easy ad concept of athletes and AI.
Barely related: I find it interesting the more I read about engineers refusal to allow their kids near tech, and how often their same companies use kids frequently in advertising.
What you are asking for is KYC to be implemented.
You instead want to be talking to browser and search engine providers and reporting there, as well as your government for illegal activities.
Fact of the matter is, dentristry has lagged so far behind other fields because there's a lack of care for it. Dental is often not even considered "healthcare", despite how important oral health is to general health. It's also the easiest to hide, who cares about actual rotting teeth just sharpen them down and replace them with plastic. Whereas things like skincare and hair get far more priority due to being visible. Of course there's also the severity, people don't care if their teeth disintigrate, but a broken leg is a broken leg and gets handled appropriately.
So they should either introduce a cookie banner, find an alternative host that more strictly adheres to privacy concerns, or just host the video themselves in a video element.
So if you're wanting to experiment and have a 24GB card, have at it!
The system is broken. It's just that companies can weather the storm.
Also job searching on its own is broken even when you ignore the market favouring the employer, as online submissions are still disastrous from companies asking invasive questions, to demanding LinkedIn profiles so they can apply through there instead of their own network, to automatic resume apps most companies rely on not even doing their basic job properly, to forcing companies to have to invent weird ways to verify the person who is applying is even a person at all. It's all a huge mess nobody wants to tackle because again, companies can weather it fine, and eventually everyone gets a job somewhere that keeps them too busy to care.
Too much of dentistry is still stuck on instant fix solutions. Take hard metal, scrape teeth. Something wrong on inside, just drill into it scrape it out and fill it. Dental implants were the last major invention and that was what, in the 60s? There really needs to be far more money and research in the field, because there is ample opportunity for major improvements here as it's lagging so far behind other health fields.
Now that we have very accessible LLM, that same trend can be artificially created with ease. You can dominate entire subreddits with artificial content, and nobody cares as long as it isn't a giant glaring outlier. You can make people think a certain way, act a certain way, buy certain things, just as long as you seem human enough to pass the sniff test and that a large enough group of "people" were doing so.
These opinionated communities will not survive much longer without implementing more severe human ID verification measures. You can bet against that, but I see the writing on the wall in my smaller public communities. They already don't trust much that isn't coming from someone in real time video.
