My own take on some conspiracy(Not all of them)
The many things that i find at fault with some conspiracy is the lack of science involved take for example flat earthers they will deny mathematics yet the sheep that is counted is ok. Some lie to gain followers and gain money as the people believe for example Alex Jones has made predictions(Every prediction he made) and tall tales that weren't true( ex:Pizzagate) yet he promotes so much advertisement on his show including him not having one rollex wristwatch but two, and The ability to lie in order to further a cause of their agenda. I know their some people want a thing to cling on to something to believe that they are the ultimate important person in the world, when they are not. The important question you have to ask yourself is are you doing your own science under the scientific method or are you just following along and being the corner hooker and the person feeding you information is the hustler promising your that this is real and buy this product to protect from the uncoming doom?

I believe that a large majority of conspiracy theorists don't actually believe the nonsense they are peddling. It is essentially a form of escapism. A role-playing game they indulge in to alleviate the drudgery of normal life.
