When the official story about a given event is provably wrong, people will consider alternatives. When people have to navigate a thousand lies, they will attempt to investigate for themselves. The fact is that people will hover around the truth like scavenger birds when the truth is intentionally hidden from them on such a large scale. Some people will not be satisfied until they know the truth. Conspiracy theories get wild when people have no help from anyone but the charlatans on their shoulder pigeon-holing people into the latest psyop.
Conspiracy theories are most likely wrong because the one truth seeker is spam attacked by people with means who wish to hide it. The answer is not to stop investigating. The answer is to do your due diligence, and divine the truth for yourself. If you doubt your capabilities, know that if you care about the truth, you are part of the best we have.
