>notice the channel owner is nowhere near as eloquent as the script used with ESL level grammatical errors in his replies
>find out the voice is of another YouTuber and ElevenLabs was used for narration
>search the channel name and see 6 other channels uploaded the same video just with a slightly different script, narrator voice, artwork, subtitling style, etc. with tens to hundreds of thousands of views each
