Some people find hoaxes to be harmless practical jokes. Other people, usually the butt of the jokes, do not.

There are people who question just what is going on, and there are people who believe what they are told to believe.
Those who believe what they are told to believe want to prove those that question everything wrong, so they hoaxe and hope to point out how those that question can't be right cause they will fall for anything.
Just a matter of perspective. We want to find something that will prove us right, they want to convince the world we are crazy.
So they hoaxe.
