People fake them because unless hooked up to an eeg, they're hard to prove or disprove, unless they're doing something like the above that can't be done during a seizure. Like in this video of Bee. You can see her punching herself, deliberately spitting out saliva and appears at one point to look over to her mum. Her whole family are involved with the faking so it's hard to tell whether she is a complete munchie or whether there is an element of MBP or both

They also look dramatic so instantly get attention especially when done infront of people which is why I imagine so many fake them. Most of these people nearly always have "complex seizures" or "non treatable seizures." they never have simple epilepsy it's always something extreme which usualy gives away that they're not real.
I guess in some cases there may be psychogenic seizures if anything.
Whatever it is munchies seem to love to pull off the fakey shakies
