That time a star's 'apology' was just a reposted meme, argue with me

Last Saturday I was scrolling through the feed and saw a well known actor post a long apology for a bad take, but someone in the comments noticed the exact same text was a meme format from three years ago. The actor just copied the joke and added their name at the end. Half the replies were laughing, half were genuinely offended that they didn't even bother to write their own words. I sat there with my coffee at a diner on 5th and Main trying to figure out which side was worse, the laziness or the fact that people believed it. So here's my question, is a copy pasted apology better than no apology at all, or does it make the original fail even bigger? I'm leaning toward it being funnier, but I want to hear if anyone thinks it crossed a line.

Ugh, come on now. That's not an apology, that's a Mad Libs with extra steps. The guy probably googled "sorry for being wrong" and hit copy paste. Honestly, if you're gonna be lazy, at least pick a meme that's actually funny, not some dusty format from three years ago. I'd almost respect a straight up "my bad" text more than this. This is like showing up to a funeral with a Hallmark card you found in a gas station. The real insult is thinking nobody would notice.
