You get downvoted, but IMO you make a good point. There&#x27;s a lot of things on ZH that are far-fetched, many articles by guest writers that are clearly in the &#x27;conspiracy theory&#x27; corner, but if you use your brain to filter out the noise, there&#x27;s a lot of truth to be found on ZH that most other media outlets don&#x27;t want to report on (for whatever reason).<p>It&#x27;s not just HN commenters who are typically poorly educated about finance, almost nobody thinks any more about these things than what they get from the mainstream media.<p>Years later, after things have crashed and burned and many of the &#x27;conspiracy theories&#x27; that had been on ZH years before they turned out to be (at least partially) true, those same people flock to movies like &#x27;The Big Short&#x27; in large numbers, and the talk of town is &#x27;how nobody could have seen this coming&#x27;... :-&#x2F;
