A group of popular flat earth YouTubers have admitted defeat against the ‘globers’ after taking a trip to Antarctica to witness the 24-hour sun.

...

"What does that mean? You guys are going to have to figure that out yourself. Don't listen to my beliefs or my opinion, it shouldn't matter to you. But at least you should be able to accept that the sun does exactly what these guys said as far as [it] circles the southern continent. I realise that I'll be called a shill for just saying that, and you know what, if you're a shill for being honest, so be it. I honestly believed there was no 24-hour sun, I honestly now believe there is."

Austin Whitsitt from Witsit Gets It conceded to viewers "we were wrong" about the 24-hour sun, but said he was still open to the earth being flat.

"Defeat" didn't last long. I guess the grift must continue somehow. to-the-moon

    What does the CIA get out of convincing a bunch of weirdos that the Earth is flat?

      Wacky conspiracy theories make people who believe in more likely conspiracies look stupid.

      Its a dry run. They can practice propaganda techniques "harmlessly" by cultivating stupid shit like flat earth, so they can then apply that experience later when they wanna incite some pogroms or foul an election.

      Someone got bored and wanted to have a laugh, someone probably lost an office bet.
