I think it turned out worse than that.

I am ok with “question everything”, the problem is that people don’t believe in reputable sources that don’t confirm their beliefs, they look (possibly unreliable) sources that confirm them

I think it is due to the echo chamber of social networks. People have constant confirmation of superficial “sources” and they continue to want that.

Incidentally it’s the reason I use lemmy where the algorithm is not optimised to the point of echo chambers (also looking for “all” helps)
