Noticed a huge shift in how people talk about the moon landing online

Back in 2015, I'd see maybe one or two comments on a video calling it fake. Now, on any big space video, the top comments are full of people arguing about it being staged. The change happened over the last five years, and I think it's because of those long, slickly edited documentary-style videos that keep getting recommended. Has anyone else seen this happen with a different topic?

Nah, I feel like it's always been there. Those videos definitely spread it, but I was seeing those arguments on old forums way before 2015. The algorithm just shoves it in everyone's face now, so it feels bigger.

Old forums? Seriously?

Actually, the real change is how the algorithm pushes those videos to new people. They've always existed, but now they get shown to anyone who watches a space video, even just once. That's what makes it feel so much bigger now.
