I have a friend who became a flat earther and cites The Why Files flat earth video as containing “a ton of good evidence”. The debunkings are never so salacious as the “evidence” laid out in the first half, and get written off. :(
Did your friend actually got to the debunking part or did he skip that?
I mean there’s this famous experiment that flat earthers did and proved that the earth is a globe. They discarded the results and continued being flat earthers.
He says the debunking parts are “what YouTube forces them to add” to the video, where the first half is the Truth and the second half can be reliably skipped. That’s for all the videos from that channel, which is why he’s now reading the Bible in order to learn more about “the Anunaki”

Wait… There are tons of flat earthers and conspiracy theorist on YouTube but aren’t forced to do a debunking segment. What the fuck is he smoking?
