no some of us actually care about the truth and actively despise being lied to, being gaslit, and being encouraged to do that to others to fit in with the social consensus.
Umm there is at least an equal number or more of conspiracy theorists on youtube as well. Qanon qed.
There are conspiracy theory vids with millions of views? Can you show me one?
Not sure what qanon qed is supposed to mean.. Qanon wasn't on YouTube and I don't think he ever had as large a following as the media made out. I've never met one or seen a qanon post, and I don't think his supposed demographic could actually navigate 8chan.
There's also an amplifying effect where only unpopular people voice unpopular ideas - either they don't pick up on the social cues, or lack a sense of shame, or simply aren't very bright. Its a feedback loop adding to the stigma.
