A YouTuber analyzed videos by PrestonPlayz, a popular Minecraft YouTuber, and discovered that he and his friends cheated in multiple world record attempts. The cheaters used various tactics, including using mods, reusing worlds, and editing footage to make it appear as though they achieved records. The analyst found evidence of cheating in many records, including ones for taming a horse, reaching the bottom of the world, and getting to world height. Even Josh, who initially seemed honest, was found to have cheated in some records. The analyst also shared their own experience of faking footage in a Hardcore Minecraft video to save time. They concluded that honesty is important in videos, not just for moral reasons, but also because it leads to more compelling narratives.
