One of my favorite parts about reddit is people will always be there to call out your BS, whether it be via downvotes or a comment. I always appreciated that because more times than not, they will tell them they're wrong and explain why, sometimes even with sources. A lot of the time, they redirect people to better sources of information, like a telegram group about a custom android rom

Of course, this isn't true 100% of the time, not even downvoted comment is wrong - like the other person commented, it's fair to take it with a grain of salt

That's why my solution for this is to research a topic EXTENSIVELY by reading tons of threads and comments about it, put them all together in my head and consider them all, and then decide on the best outcome/answer based on all the research combined. That way, I don't just rely on 1 person's response and hope they're right. For most things though, them being wrong might not even make a huge negative impact

I've found that Redditors also generally have our backs - they warn us about stuff to do or not to do, that companies don't warn us about because it would otherwise profit them
