Vox Pops, they're awful when the media use it, but at least the vox pop is supposed to highlight the story rather than set the story.

Why anyone listens to it when some random youtube channel does is incomprehendable.

Ask 1000 people a simple question and you'll get 10 crazy answers. Show 9 crazy answers and 1 normal question and claim 90% of people are crazy.

I dont know, asking people to point out a country they support bombing on a map never gets old.

Bonus points if its a presidential candidate.

Presidential candidate isn't a vox pop, that's news

You're talking entertainment, the cheapest form - laughing at other people. It's not journalism, but it pretends to be.
