Written by Abbie Richards

Published 03/07/24 1:12 PM EST

AI-generated conspiracy theory videos on TikTok can be highly profitable, according to content creators, with TikTok’s Creativity Program Beta creating a financial incentive for low-quality, engagement-driven content. Unsurprisingly, these conditions make the perfect environment for conspiracy theories to thrive.
