Can people honestly not tell when something is heavily edited? Those pictures look extremely fake :/ I guess too many people are accustomed to thinking snapchat filters make people look real..it all looks fake and horrid to me.

    One of the points the article makes is that people boost such content despite knowing it’s fake because it confirms what they’re ’feeling’. Want to feel outrage? Here’s an image that will let you and others feel that. Truth? Irrelevant.

    In short: it’s the ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ crowd doing what they do best: recasting reality as a jumble of vague feelings.
