The people with those labor of love/madness youtube channels you stumble on now and then?  2020s zany weirdness tends to be darker in tone and less fun because its become clear that many conspiracy theorists are actually very dangerous people when their delusion become accepted as facts and signal-boosted by the media and political apparatus alike, but there's still some harmless fun to be found.</blockquote>
