Ashton Forbes, a healthcare IT consultant turned UFO/UAP proponent, gained attention for promoting videos claiming Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared due to alien interference, despite evidence debunking the footage. Later, Forbes fell victim to a $3,000 scam involving fake evidence supporting his beliefs, but continued to assert a conspiracy against him.
It’s frustrating that the UAP scene is infested with grifters.
Take away the grifters and the idiots, and there is no UAP scene
It’s because the UAP scene is otherwise full of people who are willing to believe in almost anything with minimal, flimsy evidence.
Existence is scary and we grab on to things that make us feel better.
It makes sense though, doesn’t it? A community of people that refute reality in favor of what they want to believe, gets taken by people willing to use that against them?
Play stupid games…
God I wish Rebecca Watson (and all the other good YouTubers for that matter) would just dual release her content as audio podcasts.
You can download the audio portion of YouTube videos. The website TubeRipper is one such option.
That’s always NewPipe on android too. ReVanced integration makes it a breeze.
If you’re at all comfortable with your PC’s command line, it’s trivial to download just the audio from YouTube video using the yt-dlp program.
Well deserved.

I think it is funny, cospiracy nuts allways claim to have and open mind, but they tend to be increadibly close minded when talking about facts.

Back on r/conspiracy it was always interesting how many of them were also okay with Nazis and sources like The Daily Stormer, it was no surprise when that sub basically became the second r/the_donald.

Conspiracy nuts are verifiably one of the easiest groups to manipulate. You convince them you are one of them and you can make them do/believe anything you want.
