I completely understand your frustration, but it's important to remember misperception isn't necessarily tied to intelligence, especially when outside of a cognitive process or information domain the person typically engages with.
Agreed. However, I do set a slightly higher bar for people that in essence use their personal experiences for income or increased notoriety. If some random person post jets as drones, fair enough. If the post(s) are related to increasing ones' online presence, particularly for financial gain, then their posts are subject to a bit more scrutiny, IMO.
In this case, she is supposedly a travel blogger so the 2 things she got wrong in her video, the location and jets heading into an airport, I would suggest are right in her wheelhouse and not out of her "cognitive process".
Yes, one could argue that in her travels she's never really seen or heard jets coming into an airport. She arrives by taxi or Uber, enters straight into the terminal, then the jetway and onto the aircraft without ever seeing what goes on.
Yes, I will admit to a level of frustration that someone can record jets overhead and say they actual sound like jets but infer they're something else. And, (here's where I sound like a Boomer telling the kids to get off my lawn), I find these TicTok like presentation very annoying, such that just trying to figure out what's going on requires multiple views of a moving camera, with an incorrect text box floating around, a list of "like" and "share" buttons, Asian letters of some kind along the bottom along with running subtitles all of which does little to impart any useful information, or what info is there is wrong.
But:
Always best to assume good faith until proven otherwise in my opinion!
You are absolutely correct, so I stand corrected.
Maybe not enough to delete my post, but I did get a bit snarky.
I suppose it's possible she just happened to be in North NJ, listed the wrong town on her video and really doesn't know what jets look or sound like.
Maybe.
