          Well, that’s a tricky question. I was well informed in some matters, although big gaps of knowledge and experience in how to read stuff cascaded. Sometimes the source is trash and without the proper knowledge it’s hard to know, sometimes one can’t read between the lines due to lack of knowledge that there is something in-between and so on.

          At the very least my point is, that kinda curated sources are generally better than random stuff on social media. It’s hard enough for young people to place information as is, it’s not getting easier by consuming news through social media where things get very deliberately shorter and flashier, because it’s mostly made for quick consumption.

        Probably people who seek out political groups on the Internet and don’t lean far right.
