It's more that those answers don't make sense to conspiracy theorists

.

What is easier than just trusting the official information?

It's easier to say "This doesn't make sense, so it must be wrong" than it is to say "This doesn't make sense, so I must learn more to figure out how it could make sense."

It's easier to say "I know more than everyone else because I ~~am critical thinker~~ watch YouTube videos that express views that go against mainstream knowledge" than it is to actually have the skills to engage in critical thinking, and to have the knowledge to be able to determine a good source of information from a bad one.
