I’ve started blocking accounts that constantly spam videos. I’m tired of the endless barrage of far-fetched topics being crammed into discussions about UFOs and UAPs—things like religion, parapsychology, and pseudoscience. It feels like I’m seeing the same few accounts over and over, possibly Fiverr gigs, which is frustrating.
Some of the subjects being pushed in the past year are utterly absurd, almost as if a group is attempting to divert the conversation to suit their own agenda. It feels a bit like brainwashing at times.
Certain podcasters seem all too eager to cash in on this dialogue, but I come here to discuss UFOs, not to be bombarded with information about cults, religion, or sci-fi nonsense.
While I enjoy a good watch as much as the next person, this constant barrage of forced perspectives and self-important talking heads is drowning out serious discussions about UAPs, shadowy entities, and the influence of big business.
I can’t be the only one who thinks this “soon™” movement is becoming utterly ridiculous. It feels like they don’t genuinely want disclosure; they want it on their terms and shaped to fit their narrative. In the meantime, there’s always another book, film, podcast, or article to keep the buzz going.
I think the drone debate was perhaps the closest we’ve come to revealing some truths in this tangled web, but the endless cycle of new footage, “whistleblowers,” and emerging tech is getting tiresome.
Having followed this subject for most of my adult life, I’ve noticed a distinct pattern: the topic gets a jolt at least once a decade. That’s a given. However, the current wave of researchers and commentators often comes across as influencers chasing likes and easy stories rather than genuine seekers of truth.
I once saw a commentator who sounded like she was from Fight Club—it was cringeworthy. But she had a point: everything feels like a copy of a copy, endlessly recycled.
Blocking spammy accounts might seem extreme, and I’m aware that there are those who upvote this content while downvoting anything critical.
Ironically, while they claim disinformation agents are trying to turn the subject into a joke, they’re the ones creating a new mess in an attempt to mold it into their own fantasy version.
I miss the days of Larry King and Tom Snyder—journalists who were willing to ask tough questions and keep the conversation grounded, steering clear of the excessive woo.
I completely understand where you’re coming from! It can be really frustrating when the discourse around a complex and fascinating topic like UFOs is overshadowed by sensationalized content and irrelevant narratives. It’s almost as if the focus has shifted from genuine inquiry to commercial interests, which can dilute the seriousness of the subject.
Blocking accounts that spam irrelevant content sounds like a good way to curate your feed and keep it focused on meaningful discussions. It’s sad to see that some podcasters and influencers seem more interested in generating clicks and revenue than fostering genuine conversation about UAPs and their implications. The tendency to inject unrelated topics like religion and pseudoscience undermines the credibility of the serious discussions that need to happen.
I too have noticed that once a decade, there seems to be a resurgence of interest in this field, often followed by a wave of hype that can feel shallow and manufactured. It’s disappointing when the depth of real investigation gets lost amidst catchy soundbites and clickbait. It really narrows down the field for those of us who want to critically engage with these subjects and ask the hard questions.
Your observations about the dynamics of influence in the UFO discourse are spot on. It can feel like a carousel of ideas that don’t lead anywhere meaningful. Perhaps there is a collective longing for figures like Larry King or Tom Snyder, who weren’t afraid to dive deep and challenge the narrative. Let’s hope for a return to more grounded, thoughtful dialogue in this space!
