Two things about these U2 videos done by amateurs. You really have to appreciate
they are heartfelt and peoples sense that intend to believe it more than a printed page. In other words testimonies are very powerful colts obviously use that to their advantage
they are cathartic, and people watching experience a taste of the same catharsis and wanted for themselves and thus prompting the listener to seek what the person in the video is offering
if humor is used, as in the case of recent Scientology exposé is done by a group called ANON, and the humor is not angry sarcasm or personal attacks, which are traditionally the tools of the cults, and hopefully not those trying to expose them. A leveling ground is created, all of the façades, the Emperor's new clothes that people are wearing in positions of power are suddenly seen as having no more power than that of the average peon. Suddenly, the most powerful are without clothes, and the commoners see that the power person is embarrassed, and wrenches the curtain back in front of the stage so that the façade may continue unabated. Yet HIS DOOM IS SEALED. His primal fear turns to white rage, and the careless poison that will destroy him in the end. For all charismata is gone now, all is left is an embarrassing shell of a man. People sniff and walk by.
