I’ve been following a pseudoscience mega influencer for the last few years on social media. He’s amassed a following of over 12 million people on Facebook and 373k on Instagram.

Not sure what happened, but it looks like he’s no longer on Twitter...

He used to post a lot of conspiratorial memes on Facebook a few years ago, but his posting strategy shifted away from that. I assumed it was because he was losing followers or he had hired professional social media managers.

His theories were out there. It was tough for me to believe that he stopped believing in them given the well documented social media history of crazy posts.

His crackpot theories are alive and well on Telegram messenger and it scares me. These types are moving the conversations off of mainstream social media platforms. They do this to avoid being reported.pic.twitter.com/KQ5tXTIdmn

Last night when I started following him on Telegram, he had 2,410 subscribers. Right now he has 2,887. I’m new to this platform, but it seems like it’s one way messaging. That’s how he’s using it anyways.

It’s absolutely bonkers what he’s saying. Without a filter we really see the depth of his conspiratorial thinking. I had no idea it was this bad.pic.twitter.com/EQ9YCNHFt6

Posting this because I’d like to hear the thoughts, issues, solutions from everyone. The pseudoscience landscape is shifting significantly. If the theories and influencers go underground, they will likely have a good shot at converting small but loyal followers.

Is it Mike Adams? I’ve been dealing with his nonsense for at least 13 years, and that sure looks like the sort of stuff he posts.

If it isn’t Mike Adams you should really check out his main website Natural News if you really want to see down the rabbit hole.

Mike Adams used to be truthful. Not anymore in my opinion
