Example here
some examples include just too good views of the ‘thief’ from several angles, cars positioned suspiciously well so you can see how the paint covers the whole vehicle when the device explodes, the supposed thieves not dropping the packages when they explode, ‘thieves’ reacting the same way (oh my god, are you kidding me?, gross…).
If the paint is going to cover your own porch upon explosion you’re obviously using a paint easy to get rid of.
Even though, seems to be much work for uncertain gain, but maybe I’m wrong?
The second part of the video seems to be real though: all those thieves angrily yelling to the people they just tried stealing from, calling the police, yelling they’re going to sue, the mother stealing with her son… does it look genuine to you?
The only ones I believe are genuine are the ones with cops on them.
Your linked example is on a channel named SoraDoorbellFootage. What they’re doing is generating a bunch of AI slop, removing the Sora watermarks, and stitching them into compilation videos for YouTube ad money.
They may not even be generating the videos themselves; they could just be compiling other peoples’ videos together. Zero cost and very little effort.
The future is retarded.
The entire “porch pirate” concept is an Amazon marketing scheme
I doubt any of them are real. It’s clear to me that whoever makes these aren’t even watching them first to make sure they make any sense at all. The guy just walks in after stealing? They drove a car all the way up to the front-door but there’s no tracks in the snow? It’s probably a fully automated setup. Or maybe this was the best out of 10 prompt attempts. It wouldn’t surprise me if most videos don’t break even on the AI cost, but a handful going viral and the pages/channels eventually getting subscribers from principled slop connoisseurs most likely makes this financially viable.
I imagine what they earn depends on how many ad impressions they get.
Of course it’s staged, theyve got blue on their face
They blue themselves?
