People also create viral news that uses sadness, humor, craziness and weirdness in order to spread it’s viral wings.
When was the last time you read an article on your Facebook that said: “Man calls stray dog, what happens next will give you chills”? Well guess what? This is usually fake, it’s just a picture or video that someone adds a fake story too.
For instance people find a video of someone in a BMX accident that almost got really hurt and then they say “Boy/Girl falls of BMX, what happens after will amaze you”, then they create a story about the person and what happened after.
Another example of a more dark story was when The Purge came out and a news group made a story of a town actually purging. This went viral and people went crazy. That story is to far, but it does give you a glimpse at the kind of fake news is already out there.
