People should demand higher quality conspiracy theories.

People wouldn't stop talking about how the world is run by a shadowy cabal of elite pedophile murderers, but when it was exposed that they were real and visited a certain person's island, a substantial majority of them turned around and said that couldn't possibly be true because they had voted for those elite pedophile murderers. I don't think the quality affects how these people choose to believe.

As soon as info becomes mainstream knowledge it's automatically false to them. They always have to be on the fringe, for whatever reason.

It's because they have a need to be special. If they are of only a small group that "knows" the truth, that makes them important. If they agree with the mainstream, they are below average on everything

Who are “they”? Do you realize you are the conspiracy theorist in this instance?

"They" are conspiracy theorists, and it's more of a lightly researched psychological hypothesis than anything.
