When it is a matter solely for the individual, that's fine.
If an "article" claims that exercise and vegetables are bad for you and that Brawndo is nutritionally complete, then it's tough luck for the idiot who chooses their lifestyle based on that post.
On the other hand, when the "Dey Turk Er Jurbs" crowd are persuaded to get the (metaphorical or literal) pitchforks out, then the tough luck falls on other people, regardless of the commitment to truth that those unlucky people have.
It is not my responsibility or even within my power to determine the veracity of what other people read, but other people can make decisions based on misleading content that have a negative effect on my life.
It is a tricky question, how to deal with "bad" content without putting too much power to define "bad" into the hands of either a nefarious or an incompetent actor who could make the problem worse. But you're just shrugging and blaming those who have been lied to for not spotting the lie.
