People on FB and Reddit are just upvoting Twitter-screenshot-style pictures and screenshots of headlines with no sources. That takes about 2 seconds to create. Just choose-your-own-caption with an accompanying image.

The fear of fake videos is overblown. What amounts to a screenshot of a headline can get 30k upvotes and comments on Reddit without anyone asking for a source. That tendency is what worries me, not the medium.
