What's a low stakes conspiracy theory you believe? (hexbear.net)

We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

I think there's a huge corruption thing going on with road maintenance in most big cities.
I'll use my friends situation as an example.

There's a station that hasn't had road work for a total of three months over the last 5 years.
They took up the road to put down new fiber cables for innanet. Put road back.
Took up road to put down new heating. Put road back.
Took up road to put down new sewage. Put road back.
Took up road to fix electrical wires. Put road back.
Took up road to fix road layout. Put road back.
Took up and so on and so forth.

It's all same city agency, so why aren't the departments communicating, to just do it all at the same time? They do so elsewhere. Someone must have a connection that gets a lot of money from selling asphalt or something
