What happens when you come of age in the era of misinformation? You love a good conspiracy theory, apparently. According to a new study of 2,000 Gen Zs by EduBirdie, 79 per cent of Gen Zs admit to believing in at least one conspiracy theory, and as many as 41 per cent are even spreading them themselves.
They’re not alone, either. General interest in conspiracy theories is increasing, with Google searches for "common conspiracy theories" spiking 245 per cent in the last quarter.
