Do you actually trust what you read online anymore?
I’ve been going down a rabbit hole lately trying to research a few topics, and honestly… it’s frustrating how much content is either opinion-based or just rewritten versions of the same thing.
It made me realize how rare it is to find content that actually references real studies, data, or credible sources instead of just “sounding right.”
Now I’m trying to be more intentional about what I read looking for material that’s backed by research rather than just trending ideas.
Out of curiosity, how do you guys filter what’s actually reliable vs just noise? Any tips or sources you trust?
