Hello,
I've been on ATS for about 8 years, ill never forget when my friend showed me this website it was awesome, this website was literally my go to NEWS website, but something has happened over the past 2 years, LITERALLY everything thats being discussed on this website, or other conspiracy websites, is nothing but Politics. I remember when i could go on here and weekly read something ive never heard before,now its nothing but TRUMP this TRUMP that.
I don't know whats going on, but this site and numerous others have changed drastically, at least for me they did.
Does anyone else feel this way?
Almost 2,000 years after falling out of use, a Cambridge University linguistics specialist, Dr. Martin Worthington has learned how to speak ancient Babylonian and is not only campaigning to revive it as a spoken communication form, but has made a film in the ancient language. The main funders of the film directed by Dr. Worthington, a fellow of St John’s College, were the Philological Society and the Thriplow Charitable Trust, Cambridge University, and several Cambridge Colleges, enabling students to produce the world’s first film in ancient Babylonian. According to an article in The Telegraph, the student actors “dramatized a folk tale from a clay tablet from 701 BC entitled ‘The Poor Man of Nippur.’”
A Daily Mail article details how scientists “created a unique archive of recordings from different readers of stories and scripts from Babylon and set up an annual conference for sixth-former s interested in studying ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt.” Dr. Worthington’s recorded readings of Babylonian poems and myths in the original tongue are available online at: www.soas.ac.uk... And where many academics and filmmakers are often driven by ego, seeking acknowledgement and accreditation, Dr. Worthington’s goals are exemplary in that he pioneered spoken Babylonian because he believes “it enables students to enjoy the magic of authenticity and connect through words to a world that is lost and far away.” And you cannot but respect that attitude, for it is in finding innovative teaching methods and bringing otherwise gray curriculum alive that defines greatness in the field of education.

No i don't avoid them, i still check them out.
My point is MAJORITY of the new topics being posted on a Conspiracy website is about Politics now. At least that's my opinion.
For crying outloud just go on the front page its nothing about Politics, 3-4 years ago, there was never this much Politics on this website.
Or look at the NEW topics being made, its majority Politics, in the past it was never this Politics heavy
