We’ve got a bunch of new people now so let’s bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I’ll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being “creepy” through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

    Yeah, you got it. The conspiracy about him is that Andrew WK is more like a character he’s playing rather than a real person. Around 2008 or so people started claiming there have been multiple people who’ve played the character. But from all evidence I can find, it really is just one real person. I think he’s feeding into it or that he’s the one who first proposed it. I think he’s done stuff like pretended to be his own manager or purposefully be strange in interviews, and he’s done this for over a decade.
