My deepfake spotting video got 10,000 views in a week

I made a short video breaking down a fake clip of a local mayor. I just pointed out the bad lip sync and the weird ear shadow. Posted it on a Tuesday, and by the next Monday it had over 10k views. It matters because a bunch of comments said they would have believed it without my breakdown. How do you even start to trust a video now?

That's wild it got that many views. Did you get any weird pushback from people who still wanted to believe the fake video?

Actually saw a lot of that pushback. Some folks just dig their heels in even when the facts are right there. It's like they're more attached to the story than the truth. Makes the whole thing even more frustrating to watch.

My 5k-view debunk just focused on the hands, @harper914.
