Headlines were invented to get attention for a story, not to replace it. Otherwise, nobody would bother to write an article (or in this case conduct an interview) under the headline
The actual video has the MI6 guy bring up Israel's involvement as well. If these were actual people making assumptions off of headlines, they would never have found out
But no, I don't think that every single commenter is an actual person who just made an assumption, commented, and left without even pressing play on the video

If you’re only complaint was people just read headlines…
That’s literally why headlines were invented.
But I think in this specific case, it makes sense that people who could tell it’s bullshit just from the title commented without watching it.
That’s a very human thing and has always happened. If you think it’s new you just never noticed it.
