9. The YouTube channel that posted the Obama deepfakes is gone now, but now they're posting Kimmel deepfakes.

The Obama-deepfake channel on YT was @CosmicYard. They used a disclaimer similar to the one used for another channel - @AmericaIsintheHeartT1 - now posting Kimmel deepfakes...and the first version of the disclaimer for the Kimmel deepfakes referred to Gavin Newsom instead, which has me wondering if they also have a channel of Newsom deepfakes.
