I think a lot of it is poisoning of the well by shills, but a lot of it is also just poor saps who’s line of thought goes “NASA constantly lies > therefore everything NASA talks about is a lie > therefore space is fake” and they have professional retards like Eric Dubay to guide them to the poisoned well.
Then they work backwards from the conclusion they want. Space is fake/flat earth are nearly overlapping circles.
In all my time looking up conspiracy theories, I just never could be interested in the moon landing stuff -- one way or another. And the flat earthers/space-is-fake crowd, what is their overarching worldview? Some sort of Paganism? Fundamentalist Christianity?
I just never could really see the point of it.
(Alien invasions, Roswell, etc. is another story.)
