There's a ton of overlap between SM harms and believing conspiracy theories. However, the predilection to believe conspiracy theories has been recently linked with narcissism (which seems obvious to me in hindsight). All that said, I do not believe social media creates narcissism where none was before. Regarding those sorts of toxic and delusional thinking that are comfortable on SM, I suspect we keep focusing on just one side of a problem with a dozen facets.
