How Conspiracies Work

Yes. We are on the bed.

You could call it an homage
to old YouTube.

I call it...

comfortable for my butt.

Conspiracy theories.

So as somebody who's
lost many a night

tumbling down Wikipedia
rabbit holes,

I love a good conspiracy
theory.

It's like, "Ooh, aliens!"

"Ooh, how do people make
such big triangles?"

I think that that
it's just fun

imagining the world
to be more interesting

than what I was taught.

But then something weird
happened?

A couple weeks ago,
I found myself

in the middle of
a conspiracy theory.

And then, all of the fun
was replaced with just...

pure confusion.

The conspiracy itself

is, like, weird and fun
and innocuous.

However, what I really
cared about is, like,

how do you get to that point?"

how do you start seeing signs
that were never there

to begin with.

That's what I want to know.

And I also want to, like,
disprove this conspiracy theory

'cause it's whack.

However, as the person
in the middle of all of this,

I can imagine why I'd be
seen as unreliable.

So...

...I'm calling on a friend!

Uhh, I don't know
how to put this.

How do you put this?
People think that I

am part of the Illuminati.

Uh-

Well, are you?

[laughing]

This is just one
of the comments,

but I think it really
summarizes the issue.

"I find this channel to
be highly disingenuous-"

"-Corporate product masked
to have the appearance of

an independently run YouTube channel."
"There's no way a single person

is that skilled at animation,
editing, presenting, research-"

"Everything is too professional for that-"
"There's no way this girl is the one-"

"-production company put
this video together

with you just as a host."

So now- Now...
Now what?

Why am I calling you?
Right?

Yeah. I'm, like, "How do
you want me to prove this?

I am wondering if you could explain
