I think it turned out worse than that.

I am ok with “question everything”, the problem is that people don’t believe in reputable sources that don’t confirm their beliefs, they look (possibly unreliable) sources that confirm them

I think it is due to the echo chamber of social networks. People have constant confirmation of superficial “sources” and they continue to want that.

Incidentally it’s the reason I use lemmy where the algorithm is not optimised to the point of echo chambers (also looking for “all” helps)

Here's the version I have that I think is more accurate

I do agree to a point. Lemmy itself is still a giant echo chamber. Even with filters set to all you will barely find anything that isn't left or far left. In Lemmy it's not the algorithm that makes it an echo chamber it's the users themselves. I'm fairly progressive and left winged myself, but in lemmy I'm slowly gaining the reputation of being a fashist because of how far left the rest of the userbase is.
