A great point well made.
And I think it’s especially important to keep in mind that we have a generational divide among experts even now, that introduces a bias to the particular expertise that gets shared.
Not only have many deeply experienced, talented experts naturally shifted their surplus attention to other life responsibilities like families, health issues, etc — but many younger experts grew up with a social media fluency that makes engaging online more natural to them.
So even without evaluating what’s said by each, you inevitably see a lot more of the opinions of these younger experts and less from the old greybeards with differently informed perspectives.

The real hard part is keeping your mind open to newer ways without either spending all your time on them, or getting fed up with it.
