Unfortunately, a lot of the times it's friends and family that post these cringy memes.

This is certainly true. But at least with my friends and family, I learn them over time.

With “news” sources it requires a constant pain to vet them.

Also, with FB I can just block shares by source so over time I’ve blocked out my relatives’ stupid posts by Brietbart and Being Liberal.

And each required explicit acceptance of a friend request.

As opposed to a gaggle of news sources that crop up whenever.

The gaggle of sources needed you to either like their pages or have friends who like or comment on them.
