I think it’s a good thing if people trust the government less and less, all this conspiracy stuff just means that people have access to other information.

while i have no qualms whatsoever with people distrusting the government--governments are in my mind pretty much all amoral institutions--i would strongly push back against the idea that the "other information" most people would be accessing here is of a better or more reliable quality or something we should feel good about. actually i think a lot of it is quite dangerous, and a source of radicalization in a bad way for people. most conspiracy-heavy websites don't seem to make people more critical of their governments, it just makes them more crankish and willing to accept authoritarianism.
