skepticism should always follow money or power--or frenzy, their more easily recognizable proxy, as in this case. there's no magic answer to your question, and finding answers in the real world is not easily outsourced to a textbook or to 'expertise'. we each must put in the work to tease out the good stuff for ourselves, as best we can (what skepticism impels).
as a broader example, democracy is premised on the idea that each citizen will do at least some work discerning fact from fiction, and by the collective wonder of crowd wisdom, we'll find an optimum. democracy, or any collective action really, doesn't presume each person will individually be right, as that's obviously an impossible expectation.
