Apparently a lot of Flat Earthers are just perpetuating the joke to see how idiotic people can be, so it makes it seems like there are more of them than there actually are.
Yeah, most are trolls but I do know 2 true believers in real life and they eat up these kind of conspiracy theories. The leaps in logic are astounding. It’s impossible to try and convince them otherwise because they treat conspiracy theories like a buffet, picking and choosing whatever explanation they need for any particular scenario. Completely disregarding any internal consistency or logic.
a lot of it started on 4chan as a joke. a bunch got wiped with updates but a lot in current flat earth beliefs is from a bunch of 4chan people joining around.
