Your example actually tells something. Nobody would believe your JFK baby eating story. It is easy to write a fake story, but it is not easy to have lots of people believe your fake story. "Misinformation" can spread because they seem plausible to enough people, not because they are "bullshit" like your example.

The problem with your calling this example out, is that people will believe this stuff if down the rabbit hole enough. Jan 20th Biden and Harris were supposed to be arrested and their pedo evidence was suppose to be shown to all, along with evidence of election fraud. The next one is what March 7th? A lot of people think an ancient all powerful being will re-appear and lift up adherents on high, and punish "bad" non believers.

Perhaps a better example: Jewish people are telling you the earth is round so that way they can distract you from the fact they're kidnapping children and drinking their blood. A fantastic video on the topic of difficult to debunk, but easy to produce content https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44.

I wish you were right, but you are not. It is very easy to have lots of people believe a fake story. QAnon conspiracy theories are incoherent and absurd yet are embraced by thousands and cause needless harm to many.

> "Misinformation" can spread because they seem plausible to enough people Conspiracy theories are only believed by those who already mistrust the target. If there's a lot of conspiracies revolving around something/someone, you have a trust problem.
