You only get money if you do what the lobbyists (not the voters) want.

Ponder and his fellow students watched Hex carefully. ‘It can’t just, you know, stop,’ said Adrian ‘Mad Drongo’ Tumipseed. ‘The ants are just standing still,’ said Ponder. He sighed. ‘All right, put the wretched thing back.’ Adrian carefully replaced the small fluffy teddy bear above Hex’s keyboard. Things immediately began to whirr. The ants started to trot again. The mouse squeaked. They’d tried this three times.
Ponder looked again at the single sentence Hex had written. +++ Mine! Waaaah +++ ‘I don’t actually think,’ he said, gloomily, ‘that I want to tell the Archchancellor that this machine stops working if we take its fluffy teddy bear away. I just don’t think I want to live in that kind of world.’ ‘Er,’ said Mad Drongo, 'you could always, you know, sort of say it needs to work with the FTB enabled… ‘You think that’s better?’ said Ponder, reluctantly. It wasn’t as if it was even a very realistic interpretation of a bear. ‘You mean, better than “fluffy teddy bear”?’ Ponder nodded. ‘It’s better,’ he said.

One positive is that he doesn’t seem to be influenced by corporate lobbying.

Your typical internet conspiracy theorists
I don’t think this exists as a group.
They make up things to fill in the gaps of their theories
Yes. The big difference between conspiracy theories and (good) journalism. Sometimes these gaps are highlighted as speculation, but often they are not. The more evidence a conspiracy theory has backing it, the closer it gets to journalism.
refuse to change the made up bits even when they find evidence to the contrary.
People like this are super easy to argue against because you can provide the supporting evidence and they shut up.
The general contrarianism of the internet pushes people to think the opposite of establish facts.
I don’t think it is contrarianism. In previous decades traditional media had a monopoly on one to many communication. Now anyone can broadcast any information, true and false, to a worldwide audience.
In the end it’s just a mess of made up shit that conforms to the emotions of the person that made it up.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
These conspiracy theories are promoted among those with similar feelings. They push way more lies than anyone else.
Easy to do. For example, you are now expressing a feeling, not stating a fact.

I’ve never met one, but I have seen them on TV (documentary). They seem very keen to follow random posts on 4chan, but they question absolutely nothing.
People that I’ve discussed conspiracy theories with usually don’t believe anything, even other conspiracies.

I don’t think the group of people who are the subject of the post (e.g. Qanon supporters) would call themselves conspiracy theorists.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Conspiracy theorists disagree with official narratives. They are lie finders, not truth seekers.
