    The Final Experiment in Antarctica about a year ago fractured the community. The way this sort of thing generally works is that a lot of them break off, but the remaining ones are even crazier than before. As examples, see the Great Disappointment among Adventists, or 1975 among Jehovah’s Witnesses.

    That said, they still lost some major voices. If you don’t follow this sort of thing on YouTube a lot, you’re probably going to miss them completely.

      Oh man, it sounds like I missed a whole thing. Do you perchance have a link?

      EDIT: Ok, found it. A bunch of flat-earther influencers apparently travelled to Antarctica to prove that there is no midnight sun there (since its existence would contradict their belief), found that there is in fact a midnight sun in Antarctica, were then accused by other flat-earthers of having fakes the whole thing. Brilliant.
