Photo manipulation has been a thing since photos have been a thing

That's true, but they didn't used to sell you a camera claiming it would take a picture when in fact it just invented a picture it thought looked similar to the picture you were trying to take.

While that is true, it has gotten incredibly easy to alter and spread such photos. We all love interesting ways to take photos with optical illusions and practical effects.

Just like using a gun. It has gotten very easy to inflict disproportional harm compared to just 50 or 100 years ago.
