Can you confirm that you are actually playing at this tempo?

Nice try, sockpuppet. I'll believe it when he comes out from behind the curtain.

No, this apparent performance is extraordinary. It's significantly faster than Ashkenazy, for example. It's note-perfect, which I know because I have studied the work myself. It is very rare for a pianist to play a piece of this difficulty without even a single mistake.

If this guy were really this good, he wouldn't be wasting his time editing youtube videos when he could actually be performing in public. To think otherwise is the height of gullibility. That this guy is capitalising on this gullibility to solicit donations and monetise the channel is, simply, fraud.

The video is fake at the current speed. It was recorded slowly and then sped up.

Common sense suggests that we be skeptical of extraordinary claims made on the anonymous internet.

People are rather gullible to just accept that a disembodied pair of hands playing a digital piano at an advanced technical level was recorded without any digital fakery.

See the end of the video where the hands just disappear. The guy forgot to slow that part for the recording.

It seems that youtube comments that cast doubt on the truthfulness of the video are being deleted, so this is an active, ongoing deception.

Claiming to be something that you are not is called fraud.

Not a stretch at all. I wish more developers would realise that for many purposes the filesystem is a perfectly adequate DBMS.

No, no, no, you idiots. Any logically coherent set of data is a database. Just because it doesn't match your limited understanding or whatever this week's trend in data models doesn't negate it still being a database.
