Just keep in mind that the Shakespeare authorship conspiracy theory is the is the "the moon landing was fake" of the 1800s. The theory first gained popularly thanks to Delia Bacon in the 1850s, over 200 years after Shakespeare lived. There's no evidence Shakespeare didn't write his plays and a lot of evidence he did (including multiple books and writings published during this life listing him as author or referring to him as an author).
