Is it just me, or are conspiracy theories trending right now?
Is it just me, or are conspiracy theories trending right now?
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 ?!

You're viewing a single thread.
I'm growing convinced the media is trying to distract us from
- labor strikes
- that we just had the hottest 3 days in the last 150,000 years
- that the Atlantic is record hot and we're entering hurricane season
- that Antarctica isn't replenishing ice at what should be the peak of it's winter
- that a new gis report suggests the Pacific Northwest won't have any sand beaches by the year 2100
- that there's a mass coral die off underway
- or that we've got new records for the amount of greenhouse gases released
It's been a bad news summer for people who hope to have a future
