The 30-second reverse image search that exposed a 2 million view 'rescue' video

A viral clip of a firefighter saving a kitten from a drain in Dallas turned out to be staged when I ran the screenshot through Google Lens and found the same 'rescuer' in three other disaster videos from different states, so how do you all verify before a story takes off in this group?

Honestly, I used to think most viral clips were real because nobody would fake something like that, but this just proves how easy it is to get fooled. Tbh, I'm gonna start checking every rescue video before I even hit like now.
