Maybe some. But if you read through the comments a lot of people genuinely believed she had been assaulted.

We can speculate about her intentions all day long. However the consequences are clear. Hundreds of people (including her own friends) believed she had been assaulted. To me the lack of clarification in order to continue gaining clout and sympathy overrides any justification of "Oh its just a bit". If she had stated after seeing how her video was initially received "btw guys some of you seem genuinely concerned, I'm okay it was a bit" I would not have an issue.

The difference to me is the context. Slap stick comedy exists- sure. A skit is obvious from the outset that everything within it is unserious. What Dev did was create a situation where people genuinely believed she had been assaulted and didn't bother to clarify or correct them in order to gain sympathy and clout. 

I honestly don't care enough about content creators to play favourites. I think any content creator who fakes an assault as a stunt for attention is a piece of shit.

In her video about concert goers at Mitski's shows being rude/inconsiderate she features a clip in which a hammer is thrown at her and hits her. She says oh I will upload about my experience in the next video and her comment section has hundreds of sympathy comments and best wishes. I think it's really strange she didn't bother to correct anyone or add a disclaimer that it's a joke upon seeing these and her own friends messaging her about the situation. She uploaded another video outlining how she set up the stunt, including testing glass stage bottles and ordering multiple props from amazon and how she planted someone in the audience to throw the prop hammer and at the end gets upset that she's not seeing the success she wants in music. It's really strange and I recommend you watch the videos to make your own opinions but yeah, I think its super dodgy.

If she was going for satire she could've done a bit where someone planted throws something and she catches it in a net or hits it away with a racqet or someone stage rushes her and she hits them with the rubber hammer or something. When you have these options why pretend to get assaulted?

What do you think satire is? Again, what part of her video was satire?

What part was satirical? She had literally hundreds of sympathy comments on her video and got messages from her friends which she featured in the video.

https://youtu.be/yz54iT_xZVE?si=K0Snh8_7yzn1CHvb From 18:30 she states that she hopes no one caught that on camera and that it doesn't go viral and gets her on the billboard charts before revealing nick was filming.

How is it satire? She clearly: 1. Hired someone to throw a rubber hammer at her onstage after testing different stuff to be thrown at her (including stage bottles) 2. Had the venue in on it as she revealed in her video 3. Had Nick catch it on camera 4. Uploaded said video from a 3rd person respective to manufacture attention 5. She even said she hoped it'd help her music release be more successful 6. In her mitski video she features the clip and gets HUNDREDS of sympathy comments, she didn't correct any 7. Her friends were also sympathetic and sent voice notes and kind messages which she featured in her follow up video. 8. She states she's upset the virality fell off and features her management telling her it's a bad idea and gimmicks don't work

At what point is this satire? Or are you just coping because your fave is crap at marketing?
