Why do flat-earth conspiracy theorists believe that photos from space, including those of satellites, are fake?

The photos obviously exist. So in order for the Earth to be anything but a sphere, the photos must be “fake.” This is how flat earthers deal with all the evidence that proves them wrong. It must be fake. It must be a lie. The Earth HAS to be flat, so any evidence that proves that it's not flat must have been “fabricated.”

Photos of Earth from space absolutely demonstrate the Earth is a sphere.

It's called “confirmation bias.” The way it works is you decide what ths “truth” is first, then you either accept or reject evidence based on whether or not it supports the “truth” you have accepted.

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

Flat earthers reject any and all evidence that proves the Earth is not flat. That means that they have to call all the photos of Earth from space “fake.”
