Your comment reminds me of a silly little graph I saw posted to reddit once, basically stating that the prevalence of things like miracles and witchcraft was high throughout human history until the development of the camera, where it stayed low until the development of Photoshop.

You would think the existence of Photoshop would make people even more skeptical.

Depends on the community. People are gullible enough on Facebook. I think seeing friends and family like or share a thing tends towards herd behavior. Whereas on, say, 4Chan, where users are generally anonymous and usually have no repercussions for their posts, everything remotely worthy of skepticism is “shopped”.
