Part of me thinks that government agencies are behind distributing some of these 'theories' to intellectually deficient individuals in order to discredit the theories. Like, QAnon folk are obviously idiots, but it's more than plausible that QAnon was created by some government agency in order to discredit theories of events that could be damaging to the government. In the US there's been a ton of 'movements' that have risen and then fizzled out very quickly as they initially capture the public's imagination, then are co-opted by (useful) idiots.
