The analyses suggest there may be financial incentives for content creators to produce sensationalized fictional political scenarios, as these videos likely generate views and ad revenue through dramatic titles and thumbnails [2]. Content creators benefit from the engagement that controversial political matchups generate, even when completely fabricated.
