Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

It also feels like there's something subliminal about it. Like you're hearing her voice saying she's a deep state puppet then cut to her actually making a mistake in a speech (but it's using old school editing techniques there too) and then back to the deepfake voice back to the actual video of her.
Sure when you see it you know which is her and which is the deepfake. But later if you see some of those actual clips again, you might recall seeing it somewhere before and then vaguely recall some of the things the deepfake voice said along with it.
It's very insidious really. Memories are a weird thing and I don't know if it's been studied what kind of effect this sort of thing could have on people. So I don't know. But it seems plausible that you could create false memories of someone saying something they didn't say by intercutting things they did say with a deep fake of things they didn't say.
Yeah, I think that's exactly right. I don't think it's like a sophisticated deliberate psyop or anything like that, but the effect you describe certainly exists.
Most people are only partially paying attention to most of the information they consume, even the smart, thoughtful ones... Combined with the lossy storage of human memory, it's easy to cache the wrong conclusions when exposed to stuff like this.
