Didn’t bother to read the article but doesn’t research like this require a control group? I got a feeling being into conspiracies is a transient thing for quite a few of the people involved and they lose interest in it like any other hobby.

Come on dude, peruse the figures.  Takes 2 seconds to see that the comparison is against a control group.

Best way to read a paper is digest the figures first; if it's interesting, read the abstract then the conclusion... still interested, go for it all.

That's what the illuminati want you to believe.

Also, you should ask chatGPT!!

Yes, people can lose interest in conspiracies they once believed in. Several factors contribute to such shifts in belief and interest:

1. **New Information:** As new evidence or information becomes available, it can challenge the validity of a conspiracy theory, leading individuals to question their beliefs and potentially lose interest.

2. **Lack of Validation:** If the predictions or claims of a conspiracy theory consistently fail to materialize, believers might begin to doubt its accuracy and lose interest over time.

3. **Social Influence:** Changes in social circles or exposure to different viewpoints can influence one's beliefs. If an individual's peers no longer support or discuss a conspiracy theory, the individual may also lose interest.

4. **Psychological Factors:** The initial appeal of conspiracy theories often lies in their ability to explain complex events in simple, understandable terms. Over time, the psychological need for these explanations might diminish, reducing engagement with the conspiracy.

5. **Media Attention:** The level of media attention a conspiracy theory receives can affect interest levels. As media coverage wanes or shifts focus, public interest can also decline.

Overall, the dynamic nature of information, social influence, and personal psychology means that interest in conspiracy theories can wax and wane over time.
