Another factor is that social media algorithms sometimes prioritize engagement over accuracy, allowing fake news to gain more visibility. Also, some people have an agenda and deliberately create and spread false stories for their own purposes.

It might be because it's easy for fake news to go viral on the internet. People often trust what they see without fact-checking. And there are bad actors who want to manipulate public opinion by spreading false information.
