The conspiracy brigade always remind me of a Ponzi scheme.

At the top of the pyramid there are some smart people, releasing opinion and innuendo for financial, political or national gain. This is usually picked up by the next level of distributors quite a few of which are believers but not beyond making a buck out of joining the dots as well as the bots for the more manipulative stuff.

This then filters through the next level of twitter/4chan/Youtube distributors chucking in the odd meme to add value.

At the bottom of the ponzi are guys that post stuff on football message-boards showing how itk they are. The funny thing is they think they are the smartest people in the pyramid!
