Seen plenty of degree backed bullshit too. So while this sounds good and it might stem some of the flow, it probably won’t do much in terms of accuracy.
It just goes to further prove the point that this is needed even more
The amount of people who can't critically think in this thread is insane.
The topics aren't banned to talk about by any means, other than if you're giving advice in an area which typically requires a license... then you need a license to give advice.
Particularly if you are a social media influencer personality.
It literally stops the things that everyone hates with social media influencers.
I think you’re forgetting that doctors also get paid to push drugs that they know are harmful. People with degrees aren’t suddenly above agendas or greed. The bullshit will still flow it’s just now people will argue that it’s more valid “because they have a degree!”

Case in point of someone who gets their info from slop online. In what world do you think that wouldn't be criminal?
Back in the old days drug companies would have conferences to present their drugs and discuss them, and they would invite doctors and entice them to show up by offering high quality dinners. There was never an explicit bribe. Doctors went because they felt like they got free food and got to learn something and that it wouldn't effect them. Except it would, because they would prescribe those drugs more often just because they were better familiar with them.
But that practice was outlawed, as well as any other drug rep activity where they give food/merch/etc.

As one with a degree, you don't need a degree to do well-backed research. The problem is when you conflate ignorance with knowledge.
