YouTuber admits aspects of viral HomePod glitter bomb video were faked
I'm afraid that only half of your accusation is true. While the mechanism was 100% genuine (there's no evidence that it was not), the YouTuber simply used willing test subjects to demonstrate the capabilities of the device, as was found by the investigations and the YouTuber's own words. Had he admitted this in the video, then this pointless controversy would not be going on the first place and he would still be trustworthy. The problem is not his lack of honesty, but his lack of communicative skills.mac_dog said:No accountability whatsoever. The morals/integrity of this country are swirling in the toilet.
A simple apology accompanied with an, “I’ll take necessary steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again...”
He apologizes for putting something up that was misleading. He fabricated the entire thing. It took planning and, therefore, intent. For what purpose? To get views on social media? He lied about all of it. Didn’t apologize for lying (bcoz that would mean accepting responsibility for his childish/embarrassing behavior. And he further shirks admitting & taking responsibility by “taking necessary steps...”. It’s subtle, but again, no direct acceptance of responsibility. What he could have said is “I willfully posted this video to my site (for whatever reason), and I won’t do it again.
Some of you may think it’s a technicality, but something internally happens when one confronts their own behavior. He conveniently worded it so the blame is an extension (2nd person?) of him, therefore, no lesson learned.
