Authenticity is hard to prove. It just is. In an age where deepfakes look better than real life and AI can mimic almost any voice, face, or personality, trust is at a premium. We’re surrounded by perfectly polished content and yet we crave something else.
What we’re looking for now is real. Not the kind of “authentic” that’s been curated in post-production, but the kind that shows up as-is. Raw. Honest. Human.
That’s why it’s time to stop over-editing your videos.
Forget the ring lights and studio setups. Forget the filters, jump cuts, and overly scripted lines. Right now, people don’t want perfection. They want presence. They want to hear your voice, see your face, and feel like they’re talking to a real person, not a production.
So turn the camera on. Say what’s on your mind. Don’t wait until your hair’s perfect or your background’s clean. If you’ve got something to say, say it: straight, simple, and sincere.
In community, trust is everything. And right now, the most radical thing you can do is just show up as yourself.
