Largely depends on the conspiracy theory. Bear in mind that most media outlets are more than willing to lend a patina of credibility to just outright nonsensical conspiracy theories, especially with the "Report first, fact check maybe later" approach towards sources making unfounded claims about the Trump administration. And the fact that some things are so mainstream certainly helps, like how people still believe 9/11 was an inside job and the moon landing was faked.

Otherwise I suppose there's the general fact that many scandals, etc, first appear as conspiracy theories before evidence emerges to support the claims. The fact that sometimes there's truth to the claims probably helps keep some of the zanier ones in circulation, while others are plausible.

Do you think it's because people don't exercise the creative part of their brain enough but a conspiracy theory allows them the freedom to do so?

What?
