Yes, Cass Sunstein, Obama's information czar, wrote a paper about "cognitive infiltration" of the conspiracy community to discredit it around 10 years ago. That flat earth shit was hugely, artificially amplified in 2014 on YouTube.

Promotion of disinformation stirs up the stupid fucks, and muddies the waters of discussion with idiocy. It's a tool they use to supress rationality.
