People just want to get confirmed in what they already believe, with the amount of fake news people are already getting dumber because they're not suffering criticism.
If I believe moon landing was fake before I would have hundreds of source telling me I'm wrong and only a few scammy documentaries that would agree with my belief. But now there is fake to confirm any belief I have. Aliens are real, check this video proving it. Zuckerberg is a lizard? There are dozens of photo and video on twitter. And so on.
I'm really not optimistic about that at all.
