Thanks for giving @Dereklowe a deserved signal boost. My thoughts have gone in a similar direction as yours, but with a bit of collectivism on responsibility for making information available for deciding what is crap.
True! Specialization is fine & good. We need mechanisms besides object-level knowledge to evaluate trustworthiness. (Track records, journalism, social proof, and lawsuits are examples.)

What I really want is to not need to track this stuff in domains I'm not interested in. I once relied on journalism and lawsuits to do this (never was much for social proof, myself), but now I have to learn which of those are doing a good job, because so many aren't.

Well if there are enough people like you, there may be a market for *paid* analysis services!

lawsuits, relied on even more than they are, strike me as approximately as unwieldy, expensive, and susceptible to buy as regulation, and certainly more overtly adversarial which is maybe not great as far as keeping the journalism/social proof stuff from descending into the pit
