Accuracy is the excuse of lazy people, if I want a source I look for it and if I want I share it. What you consider so important is not important at all. No one owns his time to you or anyone else.
While I would like to agree with you, because far too often people dont ask for a source in good faith, would have to be consistent with the etiquette and require that the burden of proof falls on the person that makes a claim.
Google is not your friend when it keeps regurgitating AI generated articles and images. They aren’t your friend when the only way you can get “reliable” information is by appending ‘reddit’ at the end. They aren’t your friend when you search with clear terms and tags the suggested articles they present are recent $$$$$ boosted ones instead of clearly the popular article that broke the event.
Asking for a source for breaking information that can significantly change a story should never be frowned upon. I asked, they initially admittedly provided tabloids, and then they provided legitimate sources. Lastly I thanked them for providing the source.
In cases like this, it is new information that the person clearly had recent access to so asking for the source should be extremely easy. Asking someone to waste their time verifying someone else’s claims when that claim could be complete horseshit is silly. I can’t exactly come upon a source that does not exist.
And you are a whiny little shit when asked to back up your shit should not expect anyone else to put any stock whatsoever in what you say. So sure, you don’t owe anyone your time but you have already given some of it and to avoid wasting your time and ours, source the basic shit you say when asked. It’s called courtesy. It’s never required but things certainly are a hell of a lot nicer when people have some.
Google is your friend, if you really care for a source of course…
Asking for a source should never be looked down on in discussions like this where misinformation can be rampant and accuracy is important

Hey I googled it and found a source!
Not all requests for sources are equal. And you’re being kind of a dick.

I still don’t own you my time. Simple as that.

It’s great to be right.
It is. You should try it sometime.
Wow I bet you’re a fun person.
