The earth has to be flat or levels wouldn’t work...

I believe toe jam has antioxidants and should be eaten.

Perhaps it should blame the poor eduction that is available to many people - particularly when many Govts have a vested interest in under - educating, restricting or denying one so that people through no fault of their own can’t make good critical decisions.

What The earth is not flat And I was just getting convinced of that because I ignored my lessons at school, general weather forecasts on tv showing the earth as a globe, all movies and tv shows in which the earth features... and only watched YouTube.

I also think that the idea of a flat Earth is ridiculous. But for all that is holy, don't censor them. Don't feed their paranoia. It's too easy to prove them wrong.

One can’t be polite about this. Don’t blame YouTube for the increasing belief in a flat Earth, blame stupidity, ignorance, and willful delusion in the face of evidence-based knowledge. And to think that it was Galileo’s birthday a few days ago.

Same populous as the antivaxxers eh. Figures. Battin’ a thousand.

YouTube? No, it’s the increase in the population of stupid that’s to blame.

Wastebin of society

Where are the Illuminati when we need them?

THIS IS NOT NEWS WORTHY!!!!

Not just YouTube. US TV has many “documentaries” eg on the History Channel promoting stories on ghosts and aliens to the gullible. Softening up their minds for this. Has Russia promoted these for decades to undermine the west. Oh darn: perhaps I’m a conspiracy theorist...or am I?

UFOChronicles Its a Fact Earth is Flat! Water always finds its level! Sea Level not sea Curve! Salt FLAT in Bolivia is 4086 miles long with no curve what’s so ever! Rockets 🚀 hit the Unbreakable Glass dome. Waters above! Levels sundials lighthouses all don’t work on a ball earth! Do Research

I blame crack

UFOChronicles It's a concerted effort to reestablish the cosmology of the Bible as literal truth. They need Christian crusaders to invade and occupy Iran & Syria.

UFOChronicles Of coarse earth is flat, that's why helium balloons go up instead of sideways. Duh!

Cannot really blame YouTube for a lack of education and blind stupidity 🤷‍♂️

Studies show idiots believe everything they see without weighing facts and making a discriminating decision. DarkAges RiseofFools

Flat-earthers have nothing to fear, except sphere itself.

Litterally climb a tree or go into a high building you can see the curvature of the earth. Its not that hard. Hell look at the golden gate bridge. One tower is shorter than the other becuase of the curvature of the earth

Dad’s a flat earther. Very convinced too. Says when rockets are fired they hit earth ceiling🤦‍♀️

Research the Antarctica Treaty.

I would blame dumbies

A disturbing number of flat earthers are also supporters of a hard right agenda and the hardest of Brexits.

Social media encourages the belief that there are a lot of people who believe the Earth is flat

Gulliable and with absolutely zero general knowledge is the main common denominator.

dn_charles This makes sense... So are the 9/11 Truthers, And the rest of the conspiracy theories that y'all dismiss as false without an adequate debate... Ppl still think Climaye change is a hoax... ps. Water doesn't curve and always finds its level...

Flat-earthers are just an Illuminati false flag to make the hollow-earthers look like a bunch of kooks

The vast bulk of humans are intrinsically irrational.

This would be because it is the main video sharing website Flat earth theory is a psy op to discredit hollow earth.

I blame fluoride 🤣

YouthTheWild

Blame the chan

I saw a dog roller skate recently on Youtube and now I know they all do that but only when I'm not looking. Thank you Youtube!🐕🛹

A study of 30 people at Flat Earthers meeting! 🙄

Figures... it's always tech, Movies, music or in this case, YouTube, thats responsible for bad or mad things... Never just people who need help... but there we go..

One wonders what is really driving the professional like production of many of these videos & the true motives of the producers behind such content...

Complete red herring of a study. These are people who would not have had an opinion before. Blaming YouTube is ridiculous. There is more access to good science than there has ever been thanks to this platform.

dhlovelife Mandela effect ones are the worse. Seriously affected my mental health and now I refuse to even go on YouTube

I think its also a case of people want to feel special and want to be part of something

I use YouTube constantly, but I've never believed any of that pish on there about the earth being flat, nor any of the religious doomsday videos that abound on there. Lmao 😂

I blame the mainstream media for lying to the public so much that people without discernment don’t know what to believe.

It's ok. We now also have a Flat Mars Society with a t-shirt.

It's very sad to see in young people this alarming movement against enlightenment values these days.

I blame stupidity

Wait until you see what else they created, it’s going to be mental.

I blame it on the Disc world novels by Terry Pratchett these people belief those to be fact rather than they be fiction.

ChichoMarroquin

NM_Che56 Flat Earthers know Earth isn't flat, they just have fun screwing with people.

‘Study blames YouTube for rise in number of Flat Earthers’ Yet Guardian still platforms those who claim Drill music has no impact on gang violence.

YouTube is flat so it’s powerless to help

Do. not. Blame. The. Tools. Stupidity & religion are to be blamed. Not Youtube.

arielsfork

People can be stupid if they want to lol

Youtube needs to be putting disclaimers on Material that is scientifically proven false. Flat earthers, antivaxers, etc. Let them speak, but put a banner saying science doesn't agree.

abdutoit 😣

We’re going through an alarming age where people are placing social engineering ahead of scientific fact.
