This is pissing into the wind, unfortunately. The study didn't even try to address effectiveness or sustainability.

Anyone can make misinformation and have it go viral. But it takes a qualified person to debunk it, and "actually" videos almost certainly won't go viral. Platforms like tiktok are complicit in promoting misinformation and disinformation.
