I agree (and I think the article agrees in part too) with much of what you’re saying. But the issue with your comment is this;
If you did your own research and listen to experts like Adam Taggart or Wealthion
You’re assuming doing your own research will lead to the correct and educated experts (Adam Taggart or Wealthion in this example). The study this article is based on really is just saying “do your own research” is leaving it up to your search engine. And everyone uses Google. Google isn’t designed to show you research, it’s designed to show you what you want to know.
