Depends on what you consider a conspiracy theory - it doesn't have to be QAnon level to qualify - and that's not the only problem anyway. If you've ever studied information warfare, you'd know that it's not necessarily about making people believe one specific thing. More often it's about making people uncertain, creating/heightening conflict, or just getting people to disengage out of sheer fatigue. It's paralysis, not a kill. Even when IW is not involved, it's reflected in "both sides" and "voting doesn't matter" and "choose your own science" (not in so many words but absolutely rampant right here) and calling people "sheep" and so on ad infinitum et ad nauseam. Do you really need me to cite examples? Do you really believe the quality of public discourse has not degraded over the time social media have become ascendant, or that people weren't easily fooled even before? Are you asking because you're actually curious, or because you already believe the contrary and it's easier to make demands of others than of yourself? "I'm pretty sure" the answer is clear.
