Where skepticism was once defined by lone figureheads charismatically debunking the claims of paranormal superstars, as pseudomedical claims rose to greater prominence, the skeptical world shifted its focus to alternative medicine and its harms. Lone skeptical activists were augmented by a global ecosystem of bloggers, podcasters, and amateur investigators, seeking to correct misinformation."
