I notice conspiracy groups are very popular atm. Couldn’t this be used to spread conspiracises that are not conspiracies and to educate people in more layman terms? I think a lot of people don’t understand science and are intimidated by it and turn to conapiracies because they are easily digestable and worded on their understanding.

That's what makes it so difficult to 'package' truth as a conspiracy.

Your comment is difficult to parse.

Please embrace the difference between "conspiracy" and "conspiracy theory".

I see how my comment may be comfusing to you so let me explain what I had in mind: those conspiracy channels are flooded with crap that is fabricated in russian propaganda and misinformation labs or by white extremists or ehat not. I think it could be relatively easy to flood those channels with non-misinformation, very easily digestible news and information that is written simple for the lowest common denominator. It could make a positive difference imo
