I can't doubt that is true but I spend a considerable amount of time online looking not just at what people are saying as being accurate but whose telling them those things. I will take highly credentialed people whose careers are literally being ruined over those whose careers didn't amount to much and ended up being sour grapes looking to get even, or people who run websites looking for clicks. I will also take the time to tell people if I quote something that I want them to know I haven't personally verified the statement. I had one recently where someone did a video and I couldn't see the entire page they put up because the print was so small, I went to the pages website to see if I could find and read about what the person was saying and the accuracy of it, it was a subscription site that was pricey so I could personally verify what was being said. Now sometimes if you can't find a way yourself you share it asking if someone else heard or knows and the reason why you can't find out yourself....but the important part is always being honest and stating you do not know the accuracy of the information or provide why I didn't dismiss the information out of hand.
