I'd state the exact opposite, especially in times where fake news, bot farms and AI generated content are everywhere it matters if something comes from a trusted source or not.
Maybe again because I don’t care about a source I have always operated in a way that assumes other’s aren’t telling the truth.
I don’t care about how many up or down votes some comment or piece of content has. I also have never blindly trusted videos or pictures. All sources can be corrupted and as such shouldn’t be trusted without verification.
Which is why I still don’t value accounts nor read user names.
Even with people I personally know I have always used the phrase: “trust, but verify”
