I wish it was more than mild annoyance being expressed. There has been a huge uptick in /r/conspiracy style posts and accusations over the last few months (none of them valid, except one but that was purely by accident).

What would that achieve? Suddenly people see the light and no longer believe there is a conspiracy? Seems rather unlikely to me.

Precisely. They would leave this "toxic" place behind and go somewhere they feel warm and cozy.

Seconded.

Thank you, dang, for a clear, direct, elaborate, level-headed response.
