Conspiracy stuff like QAnon, Antivax, Flat Earth etc is tolerated and maybe actively encouraged by major platforms because it provides a useful idiot to point at and say anyone going against the mainstream narrative is the same thing.
E.g. if in a conversation about Russia/Ukraine or Xinjiang i bring up stuff I've heard on here or other commie spaces that goes against the western line, and say I know it from 'online research'. Mentally people will quickly put me in the same category as these crazy anti vaxxers they hear about or whatever and already be sceptical of what I'm trying to say.

this is true. they broadcast the not trusting the media as a right-wing tendency so no one ever wakes up, or if they get close they become fascist.
