While this may be true, I feel you are underestimating the power of stupidity in the general populace.
If this were any other time, I wouldn't bat an eyelid.
I can believe in stupid, but the more precision timed it is, there is more likely a motive around it. It is the cornerstone of fake reality tv to produce drama that is far too conveniently timed and ridiculous.
Of course there are moments when stupidity that convenient really does happen, but these days, people should be more sceptical of that. Those moments are in the minority. People have learned to fake the "perfect drama" to exploit for their gain.
If I don't want to go to a shit team with an early pick, but I know I'm good enough, I could possibly be smart enough to just post a minor weed video and get away with that.
