I'm a bit torn on this; for the sake of not turning off the newly red-pilled and because it's a topic that can so easily be used as a smear, I would reluctantly agree that the Q forum is not the appropriate place for the topic.
OTOH; there is much more legitimacy to the topic when you come to terms with how much of what is known is dependent on NASA (and a bit less on Chinese or Russian space agencies); that the science is constantly being adjusted to make the observations fit the theory (for example; general relativity has been long debunked by the observable universe, but rather than saying Einstein got it wrong, they add dark matter to the equation but even that doesn't cut it so then they need dark energy).
If you had asked me even 2 months ago, I would have argued that it's self-evident and the proponents are clearly shills... I don't believe the answer to be so simple anymore.
