At the end of the day those people chose to believe some random blog over medical journals, university publications, and the advice of doctors. There is no other word for that than stupidity, algorithms or no.
Blaming stupidity itself fails to address those who seek to exploit it.
No matter the cause or effect, stupidity is the root of the problem. You can't exploit a weakness that doesn't exist.
Unfortunately, I was reading somewhere recently (I think it might have been a t-shirt?) that, "you can't fix stupid."
You can. I fixed myself to some extend
Are you sure?
They did qualify said fixing as 'some'.
Human nature is the root problem. It encompasses stupidity, greed, and violence, and many other traits - all of which are available to every human.

It's a good thing that's not what I said then isn't it
