Responding to this because I think it discourages a new user from trying to engage and test their ideas against a larger audience, maybe some of whom have relevant expertise, and maybe some of those will engage—seems like a decent way to try and learn. Of course, good intentions to solve a ‘disinformation crisis’ like this aren’t sufficient, ideally we would be able to perform serious analysis on the problem (scale, neglectedness, tractability and all that fun stuff I guess) and in this case, seems like tractability may be most relevant. I think your second paragraph is useful in mentioning that this is extremely difficult to implement but also just gestures at the problem’s existence as evidence.
I share this impression though, that disinformation is difficult and also had a kinda knee-jerk about “high quality content”. But idk, I feel like engaging with the piece with more of a yes-and attitude to encourage entrepreneurial young minds and/or more relevant facts of the domain could be a better contribution.
But I’m doing the same thing and just being meta here, which is easy, so I’ll try too in another comment
