I’m not sure if they are, but personally, I wouldn’t be too concerned. If a bunch of new accounts joined that started to produce a bunch of maybe-fake-seeming content, that seems bad but not catastrophic.

I agree there are those things, but I am overall probably more pessimistic than you; I think there is a (significant) assymmetry towards pollution-y and not-truth-conducive content production here.
(That said, I am not too concerned overall either; I think the solution of making it harder/require some form of verification to make an account.)
