    why

    Because it’s a business, there are people out there profiting from it and so it keeps growing

      That’s the usual explanation that’s given, but how do they even profit? What do you sell to those idiots? (I suppose that since they’re idiots you can just sell them pretty much anything)

        There was some guy who got his homemade rocket hobby funded by flat earther types to prove NASA is lying or something. Also that guy could be crazy and one of them.

        But fools will throw cash at the dumbest of things.
