I admit I have been fooled by fake documentaries on YouTube. Once by an AI generated Papal speech, once by fake Rachel Maddow, and by a fake Warren Buffett. This is going to get worse. I get scammed. What to do?

This is really cool: a guy found one of the original Cinemascope anamorphic adapters used to shoot 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA (1954), and that had been sitting in storage for 70 years, for sale on eBay bought it and shot some beautiful new footage with it www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg0f...
