At a certain limit it’s not so different from being a con artist essentially: literally taking advantage of the ignorant believers and using that for lulz or even power.

The premise, to me, is silly enough that you aren't poisoning anyone. Anyone that would believe it is going to feed off of some other poison. Very few are equipped to hurt themselves or others via "flat Earth thinking".

That's their problem, it doesn't justify making it easier for them to get more poison.

It is less harmful than, say, them latching onto anti-vaxx or eating Tide pods.

Tide pods are actually delicious however.

I prefer the world in which people do the crazy stunts.

Yeah, maybe Jim Carrey doesn't actually believe in all that anti-vaxer nonsense he spouts, but he simply hates children and wants them to die of preventable diseases.

I’m not condoning his behavior, but I like the news that he was faking.

It should make the entire movement even less credible:

“How can you believe this? Your fellow believers are probably just faking to get attention”
