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

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

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.”

You found a love potion, and your friend tried to use it on an attractive popular girl, but he accidentally dropped it on the neighbors dog. Now the dog won't stop following him. How would you help him?

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.

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.”
