For my own life I've boiled it down to a "signal vs noise" problem. Whether it be a human or a bot delivering information isn't really important to me. What's important is the accuracy and proof of the information. Eliminating the "noise" is pretty easy, just take the "mute everyone" approach. No default subreddits, use ad blockers, actively disable "suggested" content where possible, and periodically review the things I'm getting my "signals" from. The problem I'm struggling with now is verifying authenticity of references and information. Every solution I can think of (say a chrome plugin that does analysis and can watermark text/video/image content with a "FAKE DETECTED" banner) just becomes a cat and mouse game.
