So what’s causing a renewed interest in something that’s been scientifically disproven for the past two thousand years or more? What does it say about social media? And how did we actually establish that the world is round in the first place? And it has some high-profile supporters.įrom basketball players to musicians, rappers to TV hosts, a number of celebrities are jumping on the flat Earth bandwagon. Interest in most of these other far-fetched theories remains stable but the flat-Earth movement is growing, particularly in America.

A third of Americans polled by YouGov believe the Earth is flat. In fact, a recent YouGov poll found that only around two-thirds of Americans aged between 18 and 24 believe that the Earth is round.Īlthough the idea the Earth is flat has been scientifically discredited, there seems to be a growing belief in the conspiracy theory. 🙂 🙂 Something I’m noticing that’s interesting is that certain niches are easier than others to rank in on YouTube (I’m in a few niches–some, I have next to no views or subscribers and some, I just kill it in… at least comparatively, hahahaha.)īut per bonus tip #1, I am wondering if you have a small or non-existant list or social media following, what would you recommend to boost views on day one? Would you ever consider buying links or views to inflate this or would you recommend just slowly building that list and social media presence? It seems like if either a social media platform or an email list has less than a few hundred to a thousand subscribers, there’s not really that much push that can happen from it.If you type ‘flat Earth’ into Google, you’d be joining a group of people that have helped to triple the search term over the last couple of years. Great content as always! I’ve followed you for awhile, so I do many of these things already.
