It's laughable how you guys cling so hard to main stream "reality", when time and time again they are flat out wrong.
The problem I see is four fold.
1) You get your panties up in a bunch because the personalities who broadcast the "conspiracies" are a little zany and over the top. Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson and now Elon is joining the ranks, they all have their own respective personality flaws, as we ALL do, and instead of debating the core message, they, or more usually the way they present the message are attacked instead. Best example is AJ and turning the frogs gay. It's fucking hilarious how he delivered it, and I'll admit he did sound a bit like a loon, but what he said at its core is factually true. But nope, let dismiss the truth because of the way it was said.
2) Track records. Nobody is perfect and to bat 1000 is a fable. What is problematic is that the legacy media is piss poor at being right and they still run on the credence they built back in the day. Since as early as the late 1990 most journalistic integrity is out the window and they are now essentially what I like to call Press-titutes, writers who whore out whatever false articles for compensation. So if the legacy media gets a pass for being so wrong so often, you shouldn't invalidate others with a better track record without being a flaming hypocrite.
3) Muddied waters. Do you understand that some conspiracies are purposely created and are injected to the discussion to create distraction and disorganization. Example, IMO flat earth is just that, false, but now the asleep use it as an excuse to dismiss everything, even the other ones that are true and instead of focusing on the real ones, the "tin foil hat group" is busy arguing amongst themselves on whether it's true or not. It's a hella sneaky tactic and it unfortunately works too well.
4) They protect themselves. It's a big club and you ain't in it. Take pizza gate. In 2016 it seemed like the most outlandish thing ever to normies, but anyone who went down the rabbit hole thought it was at the very least plausible to a certain extent. Fast forward to 2024, with the gift of hindsight, it's more probable than it is fake. Epstein and Diddy were major contributors but the most important revelations still remained out of the public eye. Take for example this Somer guy. He worked at BuzzFeed and was part of the PizzaGate deboonking team (purposely spelled like that). Well 7 years later turns out the guy is a fucking pedo and it would appear he was protecting his own kind. Yet he was in a position of moral high ground because the establishment he worked for was "to be trusted"

And that where ego kicks in. Time and time again it takes a while but when it finally comes out as true (just look at most the COVID conspiracies), by that time the spineless among us who are not morally and intellectually strong enough to venture beyond the pre-chewed lies their fed daily, they just shrug it off with a simple "so what" while continuing to believe the lies being told now, which will likely also be shrugged off in the near future.
People, it's time to wake the fuck up. Per point #3, I'm not saying believe everything, but question everything and don't outright dismiss it because CNN didn't report it.
