MODERATORS
What annoys me is that "doing your own research" actually makes sense in a lot of contexts. Our modern politics driven news is 90% bullshit and you're better off fact checking everything they say by looking at reliable sources and tracing the origin of dubious claims. But these people have ruined that by acting like "do your own research" means "blindly trust some guy with a podcast who tells you what you want to hear."
When someone says that they usually want you to do their research, i.e. Find arguments supporting their claim because they're too stupid or lazy to communicate them. They don't actually want you to do the objective scientific research,they don't even want you to do a "Facebook research" on groups that don't align with their views.
