I’m using instagram to browse the discover feed mindlessly sometimes. I know, it’s stupid, but I’m bored.
At some point a short video about conspiracy showed up, so I hang in there and watched it.
After mindlessly scrolling through the feed, more and more conspiracy stuff started showing up.
Also, a few days before, the coridor crew on YT uploaded a vlog how they made a fake video go viral.
And then there’s the fuzz about the whistleblower, etc… resulting in many other YT videos referencing aliens, etc.
FWIW, I’m not actively searching for conspiracy topics, etc… it’s just that I’ve noticed a trend rising up, and I can’t be the only one, can I ?!

Probably. Conspiracy theory can be a great source of content to create when the platforms heavily prioritize screen time.
They’re easily digestible, intriguing, and one can be the seed to begin a spiral of the same content, created by the same author.
