Social Experiment: Does this gameplay footage look smooth to your eyes?

So I posted this because I'm trying to see how much of difference in reaction there is to 30fps and it's appearance when it's:

1: Not labeled 30fps

2: Not contrasted against 60fps in a toggle or comparison.

In my experience perception of frame rate is very plastic and bendable. I was surprised just by how smooth this looked to my eyes. The context is I'm on YouTube and just scrolling through other 30fps content.

It’s definitely a bit harder for me to perceive 30fps v 60fps when watching videos versus playing games for me— the biggest reason being that 30fps triggers fight-or-flight when playing video games (not-so-fun fact! I’ve got a sensory disorder that makes for this to be possible), whereas videos do not do this.

That said: I could still tell FPS wasn’t quite at the levels I was used to for FH… though had you asked if I thought it was 30fps or 60fps, after some thought I prolly would’ve landed on 30.
