you can easily see how a version of a deepfake will be pushed out on FB or Twitter then deleted as the poster "found out" (although they knew before) it was a mistake but purely, in reality, to seed the video into other accounts without the retraction or context
Repost, see Swift from 309 years ago:
as the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the greatest Liar has his Believers; and it often happens, that if a Lie be believ’d only for an Hour, it has done its Work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect…
