Because if I'm going to start a battle of picking and choosing from stories on the internet of people who I've never met and for all I know could be lying or AI generated or a creative writing exercise and use them to start determining my moral compass and understanding of society, I'm going to get pretty lost when I get out in the real world.

Many, especially the ones that are too meme'd to be true, are specifically designed for engagement. One of the main currencies of the internet is notoriety, and people will write in a way that sparks the most discussion, and oftentimes that means playing into fears, imagined expectations, and stereotypes.

What you have in this video is a perfect example of that. A satire interview is made that hits all the meme talking points for rage bait. Another channel picks it up, and reacts accordingly, spreading the video and emphasizing its "heinousness" that isn't even genuine. That then gets retweeted with a caption, all caps, WHAT THE FUCK! We've capitalized the rage now, and then it gets shared to this forum. That's what people act like in order to gain more engagement to their channel.

Soon, people on forums will be talking about how they once saw a video that they conveniently can't find anymore, where a guy talked about when he lived with his wife and his wife's boyfriend, and has no locks on the door, and that will get spread thinking that it's real when it's referencing this video.

That's what these forums largely are. Reddit at least you can track users history to see if their story is consistent, but now you've got abilities to hide your history so I just assume all of those accounts are content farming.

That said, believe what you want I guess reading reddit. In my age I need a lot more proof than what is the equiavalent of bathroom graffiti to believe the person writing it is this way or that.
