Serious question, did anyone else see that report about how many paparazzi shots are actually staged?

I was reading an article on The Cut last week that said a publicist admitted they arrange about 30% of 'candid' celebrity photos. It makes you wonder if any of those 'caught off guard' moments are real. How do you even start to tell the difference?

My friend works in PR and says it's way more than that...

Wait, so what's the point then? Like, if they're all fake, why do we even care about them?

You said "if they're all fake, why do we even care?" That's the whole thing. We care because they make us feel something real. A story doesn't have to be true to make you laugh or think or get mad. The point is the reaction it gets, the talk it starts. That stuff is real even if the story isn't.
