It does seem like this is the case because almost all of the predictions and conspiracy framing borrow from memes depicted from prior entertaining stories. In each case, what seems to be ignored is the truer and more interesting creation as is. Thus the failed predictions and false framing which ultimately lead to dissatisfaction. And so, in response, more plausible and therefore more compelling stories are created. And the cycle continues.
