You mean like this sus-as-fuck 4 year old account which appears to be a guy with no comment history until 200 days ago at which point he became an apparent expert on PCR technology and then he said nothing ever again? https://www.reddit.com/user/Jakesister/
bots, paid shills, and stupid teenagers. Can't count how many times some idiot came on NNN just to call us the usual bullshit without any debate and saw they mainly posted in r/teenagers
I would go with that. There are way too many pushing vaccines, masks, fear, whatever that will say something like I saw yesterday "my grandma died from Covid last year, now I know several people who's kids have it and their families are worried about them dying. One of them is calling me with their kid in the ICU." How statistically improbable is that? So your grandma was one of the 1/500 of the US population that has died and you are close enough that they call you when their kid is in the ICU. Kids in ICU is definitely a lower stat than total death. Combine the chances and you get a person who's existence is lower chance than a lottery win. Yet you see these people all over the place.
It goes back decades. The schools and media have inculcated people from the time they can walk that leftist shit is cool and they are the underdog in some battle against “The Man.” They will accept any information from certain sources and have concluded that if anyone to their right has contradictory information it has to be false. Not only that the conclusion is wrong, but the information that forms the basis of the conclusion is wrong.
Now I see it as the greatest mistake ever, allowing the general population access to the internet.
So much this, it isn't even funny. I first got access to the Internet back in '95 when I transferred to a state university from community college. Between discovering Usenet and IRC, it was like a whole new world opened up in front of me. The amount of information that could be shared between people all across the world left me awestruck.
Then, as access became easier and easier, the discourse got worse and worse. The creators tried to make it more friendly for the masses, and in the process the masses just shit all over everything. The Eternal September that started two years prior to when I arrived continues, and at this rate it will never end until access is curtailed or a new Internet with more stringent entry requirements is created.
Why do you think some people can see this and others can't?
I truly believe the majority of "redditors" now a days are bots and paid shills.

If that helps you sleep at night. Personally, I have not lost faith in the boundless stupidity that is the human race.
Or they are just part of the cult. For anybody in the cult, the hivemind we observe is just "normalcy".
Some of us have studied history.
The rest are leftist morons.

A combination of IQ, upbringing, and ever changing environment.
In other words, most people are too stupid, too docile, too slow to see changes in a historical perspective, and various combinations of those.
My family was one of the first 100,000 on the internet in the US.
I thought it was going to save the world and educate everybody. We would all walk into the future together.

It was a great idea in theory. I learned too late just like many others that our "information age" was really a "misinformation age".
Fucking hell I remember SOPA. when the whole of the Internet was against authoritarian takeover and collectively gave our betters the finger.
Little did we know that it was all a ploy by google and social media giants to oust the ISPs and take power for themselves.
I remember users organizing on Usenet to protest the formation of ICANN...
I think at some point we'll need to get an app based on Usenet and nntp...
