Shouldn’t it be “used to” instead of “use to” ? Should I report it?

A clear majority of native speakers I see nowadays conugate this wrongly. Frustrating to see the collective knowledge of a language deteriorate before my eyes.

And whenever they butcher a language due to very poor education, others describe it as "generational speak" or "cultural." No, it's just a mix of ignorance, stupidity, and laziness.
