It doesn't take long for people to get tricked into watching a flat earth YouTube video. And this is where the danger begins. Spend enough time on YT and you're bound to run into at least one CT video and from there you go down the rabbit hole. While I suspect that the majority of the Flat Earth society leaders or more famous YT presenters are just trolls looking to dupe people. The growth of this CT has been pretty alarming to me. Usually some celebrity like YouTuber Logan Paul and NBA star Kyrie Irving tries to join the group but realizes that it's just nuts. I'm left wondering how long before one of them sticks with it and it gains true notoriety...
Inside the Flat Earth Conference, Where the World’s Oldest Conspiracy Theory Is Hot Again
This is the real currency in the Flat Earth community. Between speeches, everyone is showing each other YouTube videos on their phones. People reference each other by their YouTube names, and twice when I leave my seat I return to find advertisements for YouTube channels on the chair. A panel on Women in Flat Earth is more of a how-to on running a Flat Earth YouTube channel while female.
