How often do you fact-check things you hear online? (This can include checking the sources someone cites to see if they actually say what they're supposed to, or trying to corroborate the information with other sources)

It happens yeah... But I also speculate a lot which I need to fix.

Better be right later than wrong now

I only do fact checking if I'm unsure whether or not something said was accurate. Most of the time I don't need that.

If it's something I care about, I will. I also always do before spreading the information.

I mostly only check sources if someone’s arguing something against me , especially on here . . cough cough
