This site is for us to share our research with others. "Always verify" makes sense as a precaution, but "Do your own research" just sounds lazy and really isn't helpful.
Not everyone can "monitor the situation" to the degree of rigor that thorough research requires. Many are still waging a daily war of just trying to survive among crippling debt and overwhelming inflation. Some use GAW simply to help filter out the excess noise on X (since most posts here are just reposts of stuff from X anyway).
Please be mindful that many are not as blessed with their free time as you might be.
I, apparently on the other hand, completely agree with you. I do research but sometimes come up short. I appreciate when anons provide links to sites I have never visited. While I don’t use this site to do my research for me, I certainly appreciate when anons share their research. I find it hateful when some anons act as if they have copyrights to their research and berate others. For the most part I’ve always seen us as brothers of sorts here and sharing is part of that. Thank you for bringing this up and while it may not change things, maybe it will give some food for thought for those of us who aren’t quite as adept at research but still find value here in others research.
