  In the pre-internet era, when you heard a fantastic story, you couldn't just google it to see if it was true.

Today is different, but people are worse informed. Every online place that an average person visits is a hotbed of fantasy.

That is exactly why I deleted my reddit account years ago. For every factual post there, there were two inaccurate or false posts. I didn't like my head becoming a receptacle for other people's falsehoods.
