Funnily enough whilst writing this post I also knew there was a name for the phenomenon of realising that everything else a site writes might be garbage but I can't think of it either.
Best source I found: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2021/01/18/gell-mann-amnesia
Got the name from this post: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/231746/after-seeing-how-misinformed-an-article-is-in-a-newspaper-you-flip-the-page-and
Not sure however if that is the exact name for the effect I was provided on here by another user. This effect does not seem to be very known. There isn't even a "proper" wikipedia entry for it. I only found this one in some hilarious dialect of German: https://pfl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gell-Mann_Amnesie_Effekt

YES! This is it.
Spent the last hour or so trying to remember.
Thanks for finding it and soothing my mind on this.
