To the people saying that this is because of "laziness" or "lack of curiosity":

I'm bombarded with so much information every day that it's not feasible to fact-check it all. I have to pick my battles and take things I care less about at face value until I have a reason not to.

Have you been on the internet? Source: personal experience.

Dude, you're on a link aggregator right now, you can't honestly think that you're fact checking every post you read.

Awww man, not again!

While I understand this, I definitely do not take things at face value. I take things I care less about with big grains of salt.

(I could take my travelers checks to a competing resort)

You are right, but that seem a "feature" and not a "bug"
