Conspiracy theory videos often analyse things superficially, report data and numbers taken from unofficial sources, or even talk about true facts but decontextualizing them in a way that distorts or affects reality.
In these videos people show what they consider as evidence and proofs. Most of the time, even if they show real facts and numbers, they give those elements a personal interpretation giving them a meaning that they actually don’t have.
By leveraging on sensitive topics, conspiracy theory videos often focus on common anxieties to instill or feed our fears.
