It's a super gray area i agree, and people can become obsessed with "patterns".

I personally find it interesting like i find the Snowden revelations interesting, or the Wikileaks implications or geopolitics in general.

I started majoring in history before going into tech so i don't personally find any of these "conspiracies" fringe or stupid seen in a historical context of for example US intelligence organisations throughout the 20's century - obviously non organic campaigns like qAnon is something completely different but this info is from classic journalism.

But i can see that those top-down campaigns has really turned people away from even the slightest deviation of the "official narrative" now, so well, qAnon and other psyops really are working - there is only the mainstream, and the idiots left.
