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.
To add to the OP, not everyone is as excellant at researching and digging up the info that some are.
Beauty of the awakened anon phenomenon: we all have our own unique strengths. One anon is good at word of mouth communication, another is proficient at deep research, another is skilled in meme magick, etc.
