Like what? It’s all there on Wikipedia, and for all of Wiki’s faults, I have trouble imagining what kind of useful, educational, medical information you will find on social media that is better than that.

You don't necessarily reach the same population and some people, believe it or not, are afraid, unable or have difficulties to read yet are online.
Afraid to read Wikipedia? Unable to? What hellhole are you describing?
20% of adults in the USA read below a 5th-grade level.

So?

If you find Wikipedia too complicated, you probably aren’t looking up your medical diagnoses.

We aren't talking diagnoses but prevention, wellbeing and awareness campaigns.
