Maybe the pin was closer and they were lying about it being in the Bay Area???

Also, no need for exact location for these pins. The new home owners probably are fine with it not being exact

There's a lot of duplicated geographic names in Northern and Southern California. If the production house isn't in the area, it's hard, close enough.

I lived in Burbank, but I was in the unincorporated area of Santa Clara County, not the incorporated city in LA County. Incidentally, I was living in the South Bay, but not the South Bay in LA County, or the South Bay in San Diego County.

Anyway, perhaps the couple is from the Bay Area, but their house is in LA County right now. :P

I'll notice this with TV documentaries and segments on news channels quite frequently as well. I have the "GeoGuessr gene" as well as being decently well travelled so I spot this stuff all the time. One particular pet peeve of mine is movies or shows mean to be shot in medieval Europe but the "forest" they use is actually a tree plantation of North American native trees such as Sitka Spruce.

plenty of them are traveling, and the extent to which you see videos of people putting together stock footage indicates failure of the algorithm. although at this point, the algorithm has failed hard enough that I am down to subscriptions and chronological feed.

Although, this larger structure did create one of my favorite internet algorithm outcomes: There is obviously intense hunger for authentic mountain videos narrated in a generic minecraft youtuber voice, and the resulting incentive gradient physically yeeted a minecraft youtuber to the top of mount everest (https://www.youtube.com/@RyanMitchellYT)

I'd say this is more a symptom of the content creator knowing nothing about the subject matter they are presenting on. Which would be fine, except that as someone presenting the content they usually represent themselves as knowledgeable about the subject matter material. Showing stock footage of an Andean mountain when the foliage in the foreground is clearly shows that it is somewhere in the sub-arctic (spruce trees and lupine native to Alaska for example) is total idiocy.
