I would suggest starting with YouTube. Start consuming a variety of videos from different sources and you'll begin picking things up and gaining enough knowledge to start identifying bad info. You can start with lectures of complex topics by physicists meant for the general public. Their is a lot of handwaving to remove the math and oftentimes they go into personal beliefs concerning theoretical physics, but they are very good at identifying each time they do so.

PBS spacetime is one that seems informative while giving enough clarifications. Including looking into a few pop sci theories, explaining what they would mean, and ending with why science don't consider them as serious explanations.

You can also find some more math heavy explanations and slowly build your math skills to be good enough to understand the physics that uses it.
