There’s a guy running an entire economy built on fake live streams

There’s a guy running an entire economy built on fake live streams and making $5,000 a day.  It looks real at first glance but that’s the whole point.  They take footage that people want to believe is live.  Then they run it as a 24/7 livestream.  The algorithm doesn’t care if it’s real. It only cares if people stay and watch.  As the stream grows, monetization turns on and money starts pouring in:  Live gifts / donations  View based payouts  Platform bonuses  Comments questioning it don’t hurt the stream. They help the guy make more money.  More comments = more reach.  That’s the business model.
