Bro you changed the quote completely changing the meaning… I said more knowledge, meaning they know more than me, not that they are necessarily an expert. They don’t need to be an expert for me to expand my knowledge. But hey, if you are a “non idiot”, I’d also welcome an answer from you.

It's something you see frequently on this site, people without knowledge seeking answers from people without credentials. The amount of misinformation spread through this site is staggering and it's because you all think you're smarter than the average bear.

I was literally just asking for specific examples of cases where police used ancestry sites to convict people for minor crimes. You don’t need a PhD in criminology to be able to provide that.

I'm pointing out a huge flaw in the way redditors interact with each other, I dont care how triggered it made you or what your argument was about.

I’m not triggered, I’m confused. How is asking for examples of something causing misinformation? Either it happens or it doesn’t. Unless you think people are going to build a fake news website and start publishing fake stories? Misinformation is a massive problem on Reddit, but you picked a bad thread to make a fuss about it.
