I might be wrong, but the phrase “conspiracy theory” seems to be a lot more meaningful to you than it is to me. I recommend maybe reading Cached Thoughts.
A “conspiracy” is something people do when they want something big, because multiple people are necessary to do big things, and stealth is necessary to prevent randos from interfering.
A “theory” is a hypothesis, an abstraction that cannot be avoided by anyone other than people rigidly committed to only thinking about things that they are nearly 100% certain is true. If you want to do thinking when it’s hard instead of just when it’s easy and anyone can do it, then you need theories.
A “conspiracy theory” is a label for a theory that makes most people believe there is a social consensus against that theory, and makes incompetent internet users take it up as a cause (as a search for truth which is hopeless for them in particular as they are not competitive in the truthfindng market) and make it further associated with internet degeneracy.
