We’ve got a bunch of new people now so let’s bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?
I’ll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being “creepy” through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

Most, if not all of mainstream Social Media, especially in the US, has always been a bit of backdoor for the US government, who probably use it as a part of a broader social experiment for analyzing and later PSYOPing people’s behaviors and attitudes, for all I know.
Granted that most social media companies are probably in league with them in sharing data already, I won’t be surprised if they had Operation Gladio style project on the Internet.

The claims that more and more early humans are different species or subspecies is a move to bolster a new wave of race science for when america really starts collapsing. It takes advantage of younger researchers wanting to make a name for themselves, especially ones of less enfranchised groups who will do what they need to to secure jobs and funding. Some of these claims are really weak, but will get signal boosted, the same way the Iowa writing workshop was bolstered to further american isolation and post-modern art was funded to move away from materialism, so the nazis of the future can claim to be genuinely different races with some flimsy scientific evidence
The Sonic movie deliberately used an ugly design for the first trailer as a marketing stunt
