"Didn't watch the video ..."
Either did I. The only explanation I can think of is someone originally posted something as a bit of a lark and was then amazed at how it was taken so seriously and became attached to the conspiracy band wagon. Since then Youtube has become an industry with every kind of attention seeking homemade movie producer putting up his creation. They always seem to use the same dramatic music for the opening !
I'm of course excluding the genuine long time flat earthers who ably qualify as eccentrics.
