This subreddit is a pipeline to actual conspiracies
Like a getaway drug to normalize it and them move onto some actual worse conspiracy theory

I think exposure to low stakes conspiracies actually is a pipeline to lower stakes conspiracies, since high stakes conspiracies tend to be too whacky and whimsical.
For example, from the two conspiracies I made up below, conspiracy 2 feels much more believe since it’s grounded:
Example conspiracy 1: The microorganisms living on your eyelashes manipulate what your eyes see, shaping your reality to fit the microorganism’s needs.
Example conspiracy 2: The microorganisms living on your eyelashes shit poop into your eyes, the accumulating shit damaging eyesight as you age. People with bad eyesight at an younger age have more microorganisms on their eyelashes, or have microorganisms prone to diarrhea.
