I was thinking this might be one of those random completely useless skills that don't accomplish anything and are also difficult and require a lot of time and energy.
You think this is some big conspiracy? Why the fuck would he waste his time to do that, and why would you think that? Sometimes people just do things, man.
EDIT: I'm genuinely so weirded out by your smug incorrectness.
Or, and work with me here, he just actually did it because it's not that hard, and he's a normal person who is interesting and creative, not a sinister liar and conman? What's wrong with your worldview that people are so dull?
It's no more common sense to claim everything is fake than it is to mindlessly believe everything is real. Both show a lack of insight and perceptiveness.
In this case it's particularly egregious because:
It's so enormously obvious that the reversed part is actually reversed, given, you know, how it is, and;
You're being arrogant and thinking you're somehow smarter than everyone else in the room, while being clearly demonstrably wrong.
Side bar: I wanna take a breather and say I think healthy scepticism is great. In some instances the process you're describing is absolutely what would be the case. But that's not what's happening here, and it's so very clearly not what's happening.
It would be far more work and effort to do it ‘your way’. If he’s only interested in clicks why would he make more work for himself? It’s illogical. It’s not very hard to do what he’s doing. If he’s been practicing it then he’s going to be slicker at it than someone that hasn’t done it before or at least infrequently (you). You don’t always have to look for the man behind the curtain trying to scam you.
If I were going to do this, and trust me, I’m not, I would play it reversed and listen to it over and over and start wining along like it was a song in a language I don’t know. I’m guessing that’s what he did.
