Supposedly exposes the Patterson-Gimlin film as a hoax, which is a big deal in the Bigfoot community.

IMO, that was done years ago.

If you look up that film stabilized [1], it becomes really apparent that it's just a guy in a ape costume. The shaky camera is the only thing that makes it harder to determine what's going on.

It makes me a little bit sad, I knew it was very unlikely, but I still had hopes just because it would be so cool to find that big foot is real.

There's a Bigfoot trap in Oregon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot_trap

I wonder if it gets a mention? It does get a mention in the recent Bruce Campbell movie https://www.ernieandemma.com/ - which looks to be even more poignant with his recent cancer diagnosis :-(

Is it? Because plenty of other hoax-based bullshit, like Flat Earth Conspiracy Theorists and those who believe that the Earth is only 6,000 years old continue on in their bubbles regardless of how much evidence is provided to the contrary.

Read the comments on that video to see how many conclude the opposite!

Obviously Bigfoot is too smart to fall for those traps
