> At the end, I figured it's too much work to double check every single piece of news, so I just stopped using reddit for some time.
Well, remaining uninformed is certainly one way to prevent hysteria.

Not getting every single detail of a story as it develops isn't really a big deal to me and, I'd also argue that following these news on reddit won't really make you more informed (I already shared one example where the news was discussed but the conversation was entirely off from the reality). Reddit only makes you feel more informed, but that doesn't mean that you actually are.
