Well, traditional news sources have lowered the bar enough that social media isn't really much worse in a lot of cases. Especially considering how many "news" there is about social media content; it makes it seem that something like Twitter is the "source" that the news is citing. The lines have been blurred, seemingly intentionally so it's hard to blame people for not having a good barometer who grew up in an ecosystem of generalized enshitification.
