Why are prank channels popular?
It seems that a majority of pranks are scripted. And pretty much all the pranks are illegal. For example, a lot of prank youtubers either:
- sexually harass people
- call people racial slurs, or do something racist
- mimmick terrorists (see: sam pepper)
- just flat out harass people.
I've even seen bomb scares! One done to a refugee child was especially disgusting. How does anyone like these channels?

Mostly people are assholes?
Well, no. I don't really believe that. I do think most people are basically good, they just forget how to be good when it comes to total strangers, so they laugh at the pain of a stranger.
I'm with you though. Pranks are only funny when they bring as much joy to the person being pranked as the people doing the pranking. It's possible to pull pranks that are just fun and joyful, but pranks where the 'joke' is fear, anger, shame or anxiety are just a form or cruelty.
There are lots of reasons people might enjoy watching others be cruel to each other, but they should watch TV or movies if they want that, not real people hurting other real people.
