It is honestly so wild to me that the "global Antarctica conspiracy" is still going strong after The Final Experiment. I watched flat earth videos for upwards of a decade claim that no one could go to Antarctica and that the 24 hour sun did not exist. The transition to "24 hour sun in Antarctica does not prove the globe" was breathtaking, and for some reason I will never understand the "global Antarctica conspiracy" continues unabated in comment sections of the internet.
FWIW, while the Antarctica Treaty may be a bit odd, it is honestly not incomprehensible. If you think through the logistics of military occupation and defense of Antarctica, it is understandable why everyone might just come to the conclusion that it is better to just take it off the table, keep it preserved, and use it for scientific research.
