Reply to comment by asbruckman in People who post stories marked false by Snopes on Reddit fall into five groups: Reason to Disagree, Changed Belief, Steadfast Non-Standard Belief, Sharing to Debunk, and Sharing for Humor. Reducing misinformation requires different approaches for each group. by asbruckman

A photo of an elephant carrying a lion cub may seem obviously doctored to you or me, but I'm not sure it would have been obvious to 10 year old me.

Or if there was an obviously false story involving football rules instead of animal behavior, I'd probably have no idea.

I suspect that even "obvious" fact checks can help with building up a good intuition for truthiness.
