🇯🇵 Some of you who are interested in Japan might have noticed recently of this new "trend" of "sad salaryman videos" coming out of Japan. The majority of these videos are fake, based on exaggerations and have been debunked. While overworking is a real problem in Japan, many of these videos are often fake. They often get millions of views, thousands in donations, etc. Some of them are not even run by Japanese people as the videos are just subtitles (in English) but contain no actual audio and are likely using AI. Chinese people have also started making these to make money from YouTube, TikTok, etc. It's gotten to the point where foreigners have actually started donating and foreign YouTubers are even making videos debunking them. I'm not suggesting everything on the internet is fake but unfortunately a lot of things are so we should all be careful.
