Another problem with them is that are constructed with the benefit of hindsight, incorporating cause and effect relationships that couldn't have been known until after the fact.
So I do get why people are skeptical and I think they are right to be, but they should be skeptical across the board.

Well that's the thing isn't it..
When you take a look at what the alternative would be to let's say 9/11, it's mind blowing what it would take logistically. Yet, that is more believable than what actually happened.
Personally I think it just comes down to people watching videos on the internet and buying into them without actually doing their homework.
Also, there's a sense of rebellion that is seen as intelligent by these conspiracy theorists. If you don't believe in these conspiracy theories, then you are some kind of sheep being manipulated by the govt.
