Comment on Why were so many people believers in the conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job

I’m going to give one that might be controversial. It was the first high attention news event after the internet made us more connected. It allowed for oddball ideas to get passed around faster than ever before, shaping a “coherent” narrative faster than old media could handle.

Yeah back in the day we were bored most of the time, news was in a paper or in 1 hour of TV in rhe evening.
Off course everyone was hyped up on any kind of weird news or other, 7-11 was just bigger than the classical ones like ghosts or murders etc.
