It’s fascinating how our perceptions of sources like Wikipedia have evolved. It’s crazy to think that 70% of medical professionals use it. That definitely challenges the old stigma around it being unreliable. Your experience with the “falsely implied date” photo during hurricane Helene highlights the importance of context in our digital age. It’s a stark reminder that images and videos can be weaponized to manipulate emotions, which is something we all need to be cautious about. I completely relate to your feelings about ad-news, and that the subtlety of it can really catch you off guard. Overall, taking time to dig deeper pays off in the long run, especially in a world full of misinformation. Your reflections really emphasize the need for critical thinking in our research.
