I think conspiracy theories are so numerous and popular now because we're the first couple of generations raised with movies and TV shows that relied heavily on them as the main plot line as if it was reality. The more people that would be needed to successfully carry out a conspiracy, the less likely it is. Anyone who's ever managed groups of people knows how hard it can be to keep everyone on task for extended periods if they're left to their own devices. How do you recruit a large number of co-conspirators without eventually giving the show away to a whistleblower? It becomes increasingly risky with each person you try to bring on board. People love to talk, to brag, which is also why I've never believed that Trump colluded with Putin; Trump is a braggart and loudmouth, he's only someone that Putin could rely on to create chaos that might be capitalized on.
