Have you ever found yourself in a YouTube black hole and unable to get out because it was like watching a train wreck over and over again?

Well, if you haven't, don't watch a flat earth video on YouTube. You can't stop watching!

How is this actually a thing? Are they all just frauds, or to they really believe that shite?

I could be wrong, but I believe it began as a troll. Somebody came up with a silly theory with stupid evidence.

After that a bunch of idiots bought it and ran with it. It's amazing it's gotten as big as it has.

A guy I went to HS with legitimately believes in that

And just about every other conspiracy you can think of

I think the only one he doesn't believe in or at least publicly admit is the lizard people stuff

I would rank flat Earth as less believable than lizard people.

I have found a lot of times these "conspiracy theories" turn out to be 100% correct, or proven correct in time, so who knows. You can find a YouTube video on pretty much anything, any opinion, any theory and someone has made a video supporting it. I have notice YT has censored these videos big time in the past year or so, they are way harder to find.

For example Flat Earth, there are some legitimate videos of people providing some good points, however search "Flat Earth" on YouTube now and the videos that come up are all making fun of "Flat Earthers" it is hard for people to even find the real videos anymore. This wasn't the case a few years ago, it is frustrating.

It also makes you question if Flat Earth was BS, then why is YouTube, Google, etc. working so hard to censor it?

It’s just as credible as Bigfoot and UFOs.

So it is highly credible then, because both of those have been confirmed.

For a lot of people it’s just a way to give the middle finger to an imagined expert who looks down their nose at you and laughs behind your back.

It’s a bipartisan sentiment for sure that vulnerable people who aren’t satisfied with their life will always latch onto.

Think about “muh Russians” from the left or the email forwards you got from your grumpy uncle about “OBAMA’S PLANS FOR A THIRD TERM!!!!”

There’s always been a market for “the fat cats experts are out to get you!” and the internet has now made getting that message out easier than ever.

You are not outright saying you believe the earth is flat. You also seem open to the possibility. What do you think is underneath the earth if it is flat?
