Yeah, I know all to well the sad truth of our various societies. I guess it's, for me at least, strange because I'm into photography as an escape from the nasty part of life we're surrounded by all the time therefore I see no point it. At least not on purpose or to be deceitful.

I have only when having a discussion with someone that clearly has an agenda, but states they are being objective. Often that is the FF diehards that say they can tell differences between a shot taking with crop or FF, and sometimes showing a narrow DOF shot with a FF in the exif, and getting the typical "yeah, that shot is obviously a FF and cannot be obtained with an APS-C", only to show them their true colors with the altered EXIF.
Other than that I could care less about the exif on my images and leave them alone.
Sometimes there is less than nefarious results though. Sometimes when editing an image, and copy/paste over another image means that the underlying JPEG file exif is now wrong. This has happened to me a few times, when doing some post processing, and I will just keep a main file up, and just drop a new layer on, and then save it as a new JPEG....Show more →
Same here, I could care less about it for the most part but I do enjoy seeing/knowing the different gear and settings a particular image was shot with when people post them up here.
I guess your FF vs crop example is one instance I could see why someone would bother switching EXIF around. Especially if that was laid out as a specific challenge for the person to figure it out during the conversation.
And yes, I may be guilty of the editing process overlay issue when combining images myself. I don't worry about that much because when I have seen this with my own work it's usually from a bracketed set or a blend from a nearly consecutive shot. I don't think this falls into the same "deceitful" category as purposely going in and changing it. At least I hope not, or else I'm a lying POS myself.
