> Yeah, we are very close to losing video as a source of truth.

Why have you been trusting videos? The only difference is that the cost will decrease.

Haven't you seen Holywood movies? CGI has been convincing enough for a decade. Just add some compression and shaky mobile cam and it would be impossible to tell the difference on anything.

Of course, any video could be a fake, it's a question of the cost, and corresponding likelihood of that being the case.
Hell, some people have been doubting moon landing videos for even longer now. Video wasn't a reliable source since its inception.
