I get bored by myself repeating it but I always think it's worth to mention: the scale and degree matter, in almost all cases of an issue, if not we can reduce a lot of issues to "it has always happened before". Localised fires are common in nature, a massive wildfire is just a fire, at a different scale and degree. Lunatics raving about conspiracies were very common in public squares, in front of metro stations, anywhere there was a large-ish flow of people, now they are very common in social media, reaching millions in an instant, different scale and degree. Just sheer scale and degree makes an issue a completely other issue, decreasing the effort required to fake a video to the point where a naïve/layperson cannot distinguish it from a real one is a massive difference. Before you needed to be technically proficient with a number of tools, put a lot of work, and get a somewhat satisfying result to fake something, now you just throw a magical incantation of words and it spits out a video you can deceive someone, it's a completely different issue.
