Why don't scientists live stream their experiments and have more rigorous verification of methodology?

This is actually one of the reasons I believe some foreign web commerce sites tend to do so well. There's a culture of filming everything. Film the product being made. Film the completed product in packaging. Film the completed product interacting with its environment and humans. Really adds to the "this product is real, and not a scam." Much larger barrier for falsification.
This would be a great tool for other teams to learn new/different methodologies. I guess the reason is competition.

But reproducing studies could be live-streamed without a problem.
