The flat earth conspiracy is just made to make money of dumb people. There is nothing more to it and what ever they believe doesn't matter.

Where's the money to be made? Or are they just easily identifiable targets for sale of essential oils, healing crystals and chiropractor gift cards?

Yeah they pay for these conventions, flat earth merch, flat earth messuring tools, maps and a bunch of other crap.

Damn we need a new conspiracy so I can get in on the ground floor and make some cash!

Uhhh, quick everyone, buy these little talismans, they'll protect you from... uhh... Jews? And liberals, yeah. Yeah $200 for the low strength, two for $400 special deal this month only, or you can get the super secret one that also wards off cops for $500. Cash in advance no refunds.
