I didn't realize this to be the case until I started to hear why people don't accept scientific consensus. Every single one of them believe that scientists are payed to come up with a particular conclusion or the whole institution brainwashes them

I always realized that there were a lot of conspiracy theories behind a lot of science denial, but during
#COVID19@MarkHoofnagle convinced me that science denial is always rooted in conspiracy theories. Before, I thought there might be exceptions. No more.

I remember at least two episodes of "Kitchen Nightmares" where the owners said they got bad Yelp reviews because of a conspiracy against them. In reality, they were just bad cooks.

Usually evidence of “bad science” is used to argue “see the scientists are hiding stuff”. Seems to always come back to the conspiracy

That's the key difference between denial and skepticism. Skeptics are open to new information. Denialists (who may call themselves skeptics) will build elaborate houses of conspiracy cards to bolster their beliefs.

Exactly. The key question to ask any “skeptic” is, “What would it take to change your mind?”
