Also, it was a lot less insidious - the crazy stuff was a lot easier to detect.

Granted, stuff like Time Cube Theory usually ended up incorporating antisemitic and anti-islamic tropes, but you'd have to wade through literally pages of red flags before you got there.

Now this kind of stuff is more sneaky - it presents as more reasonable, which makes it much more dangerous.
