This is F1 related but I didn't really think it should go in the F1 part of the forum.
People such as the flat earthers and other conspiracy nuts seem to have got it into their heads that fossil fuels, in particular jet fuel in aircraft, is some big conspiracy and that passenger aircraft run on compressed air and now it seems that F1 is also in on the conspiracy.
And no, this is not an April fools.

Not going to lie, watched the video and during some parts I was actually going "hmm".
But someone needs to tell this guy there is no free lunch, and if this is the case all the petroleum companies are getting free airtime and huge praises from these teams for doing and supplying nothing.
He's got a huge following though, makes me envious. Makes me feel like talking senseless shit to appeal to these people as well.

But as hammer alludes to, some of those making videos are doing it for the popularity and/or profit, some seem to legitimately believe in their crap though and some manage to attract fairly large audiences. |

I was actually going "hmm" At what part? The bit at the end when you go "hmmmm, there's 14 mins I'll never get back!" I don't have issue with dumbass theory videos, as long as the back it up with actual facts. He uses specs from 3 different eras of F1. |

Hahaha! Actually the part where he's like where does the fuel fit?? Look at the air vents, and you need to fit an engine and gearbox in there.
I never believed the shit, but I was trying to follow his logic. I have a lot conspiracy theories in the financial realm so when these things pop up I can't help try and follow the other side of it as well.
In F1 terms just to share, I recall opening a thread right after Singapore 2008 in another forum 'What if this shit was planned by Renault just to help get the victory' and promptly got a warning from a moderator saying I was being provocative (because everyone knew I'm anti-Alonso) and a handful of posters called me an idiot.

What sort of Draconian F1 site would censor thoughts, ideas, speculation like that!  You sure you’re not kidding us here?   |

And I told you about this one before....a lady there was one of the moderators and a huge JPM fan, gave me warnings like handing out cookies at tea parties. So when I joined your place (at the time) and saw another lady moderator, big JPM fan....I was like SH*T don't tell me she's here too! But she turned out to be pretty cool.  |

When you're running a site that's number 1 for all things f1 news and discussion, you have to maintain high standards.  |
