As content creation gains popularity and people start making it big from YouTube/ Facebook monetization, content creators are becoming increasingly desperate and are willing to do any content to gain followers.
Pranking people on the street has become a common order with no consideration of the victim's emotional/psychological state of mind.
While we watch these videos and enjoy the entertainment part of it, some of the people pranked are left emotionally drained, some relationship/ couples trust has broken because they were pranked to check there faithfulness to each other and some people have lost so much useful information from there phone because a popular prankster smatched it on the ground and gives the victim a new one, not considering some important information in the phone that might be lost in the process.
Of course, some of these guys have landed themselves in trouble because they pranked the wrong person but others are yet to learn there lessons.
Entertainment is not bad, as a matter of fact I enjoy watching them alot but when you ridicule or take advantage of the ignorance of others just to create your content, it becomes a problem.
One thing about human beings dem be say so far as the thing dey give dem watin they want, they no really dey concern again about the other person way actually dey involved for the matter because e no dey easy because no be everyone go fit handle the shock wey some of these prank-stars or comedy skit makers dey put their target through, I mean just imagine how person go dey so naive as to use snake scare person even if na fake e no still comot the fact say the person wey dem prank go still dey for shock and fear and if the person sef na the type wey dey fear well well then maybe other fatalities sef fit dey involved for the matter. This skits dem, although most of them are funny but when e cross or breached the convenience of the person den the whole thing don turn to another case entirely making it not funny at all.
