    Painting with a wide brush there. There are legit doctors of various disciplines providing actual real info on the platform. Often people have questions, and often they get the right push to find answers.

    But sure, it’s just a misinformation dancing app (it has that, too).

        Or it helps people go seek diagnosis. Which it does.

        Don’t be so dismissive of modern technology.

        Yeah, there are bad actors, but people aren’t stupid just because they use a specific app (not to mention, bad actors get called out often). Your moral superiority is showing.
