Canned applause - has been going on for years. eg The incident that got my goat was a Buddy Rich concert. It was a 5pm show pre the 8pm show. And I was getting pretty narked about his attitude to the size of the audience, understandably very lean. And his in jokes with his band were lost on us. But then I noticed the applause went on just that bit longer than the people around me. Canned applause at a live event? I lost respect for Ruddy Bitch. It is analogous to DeepFakery but few few levels down, and a few years back. But it had the same effect - you don't trust again. Worse - politicians et al are going to cry "deepfake" on anything the don't like. Even on "alt facts".
