I can understand if the reporter is new, or unknown, maybe submitting a lot of videos at once. The guy from the article is a vulnerability expert that's been working in that role at Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's CERT Coordination Center since 2004. I think he gets a pass on the "submitting fake reports for internet clout" front.
The bullshit managers that automate all systems are to blame
