    To the people saying that this is because of “laziness” or “lack of curiosity”:

    I’m bombarded with so much information every day that it’s not feasible to fact-check it all. I have to pick my battles and take things I care less about at face value until I have a reason not to.

        Have you been on the internet? Source: personal experience.

      While I understand this, I definitely do not take things at face value. I take things I care less about with big grains of salt.
