Joseph Smith in retrospect seems so obvious. Golden Plates no one could see, translating from looking inside a hat. He was a failure as a treasure hunter, how did he succeed?

I am making a Biography of Joseph Smith Jr. and reading through all the history blows my mind that anyone fell for it, what am I missing?

If anyone cares here is a link to my series
The Biography Of Joseph Smith Jr. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKx8IHlb4VY
