I don’t necessarily think this is a de facto terrible thing.
Healthy skepticism towards having a few large corporations be the source of truth about the world is necessary to prevent manipulation and coercion of the public by a few wealthy individuals.
The unfortunate part comes when that skepticism clouds the ability to discern whether or not one is contradicting fundamental physical properties of the world. . . Not to say that those aren’t entirely up for debate either.

Manipulation is now in social media and other 'decentralized' platforms, but the money is still from the same people, just even less accountable. I don't think it improved at all, quite the opposite in fact.
