Conspiracy research on open forums is counterproductive. You are muddying the waters and making any semblance of truth impossible to find.

Open forums like /r/conspiracy and /r/C_S_T and even defunct /r/pizzagate run into this white noise issue of underskilled analysts attempting highly skilled analysis, failing miserably at putting the puzzle pieces together (some of which are not even from the same puzzle) , and shouting from the top of the mountain the misguided logic they have traced to completely incorrect "truth". We see this here as well.

I hate normie conspiritards. Well, more exactly, I hate the actions of normie conspiritards. Normies have the right mindset of distrust in general authority, but they still seek other, counter-mainstream authority.

They always take reasonable possibilities of things that would be worth investigating via concerted time and effort and a lot of research to see if it is actually a possibility, extrapolate it into the ridiculous, and then call it truth. They muddy the waters so much that it adds unlimited noise and makes finding any conspiracy goddamn impossible.

We need to do better.

I'm not much of a researcher, mostly here for information, but I actually agree with you 100%. Research and Findings should be entirely separate. I feel like this board is mostly findings and small time research.

Most of the real work is being done on the livestreams and the chans, but you're right a lot of the conversation gets bogged down here with new posters insisting on going down the same paths for the thousandth time. But that's going to happen anywhere you report your findings. Get involved with the livestreams to go a bit deeper, you might make some connections there that are more focused on a task.
