Fifteen years ago it was not feasible for a random person with an axe to grind to publish a convincing video of a specific person doing something they did not actually do. It's about to become pretty low-effort for a random person with an axe to grind to do that. It's not that you can no longer believe anything published online - it's that video evidence without provenance was relatively reasonable to trust for a few years, and it's about to stop being so.
