As far as I can tell, conspiracy theories. Every time one of the theories about collusion or conflicts of interest in the industry is shot down, another one rises up… and then there’s the hordes of people who haven’t realized yet that the old ones were shot down.
And since all of these theories center around individuals in the industry rather than problematic industry-wide practices, there’s no way any of it can actually do any long-term good.
It’s worse than the 9/11 conspiracy theories that multiplied like rabbits.
