  1. By cherry picking the biggest ignoramuses on the streets you're only exacerbating the Dunning-Kruger Effect by making average people feel smart. Wow! I'm a genius. I know more than people who don't know anything.

  2. These videos are often taken out of context and the people who watch them to feel intelligent are actually the stupid ones. For example if he asks how many moons Earth has and somebody answers: "I don't know. Is that a trick question? Pretty sure we only have one moon." The video will then be edited to make the person answering seem dumber by only including the sentence "I don't know." Or the sentence "Is that a trick question?" This makes the answerer sound dumber when you don't include the whole answer to the question. Then people can go, "Look at the idiots and their stupid one or two sentence answers to basic questions." You've all been duped by an obvious con. Some of these people might be idiots. Sure. But some of them are clearly being taken out of context too.
