I think any sort of social aggregator will always have this as a challenge it wrestles with.
In my opinion, the onus of applying critical thinking when reading comments/sources lies with the reader.
When a very large upvoted comment takes places, I personally comb through some of the replies to see if anyone has sources/background that might be contradictory (and then I’ll review myself for my own opinion). It’s extra effort but I only apply this things I’m “vested” in.

Agreed but many simply won't do it, so you can't just build out a system with the ideal situation in mind if it's not occurring. Really the only way to truly make a dent in low effort posts is to go text-only and not allow image/videos.
