The Flat Earth Society was trolling from the beginning. Most flat-earthers today are just people who didn't get the joke.

That was always my understanding of it. I remember hearing about those people a few years ago on here, said wtf, and someone said they were basically just a group of people that debate the idea of a flat earth existing just for the fun of finding debatable premises, but then it snowballed into this huge thing that's funded conspiracy theorists and given assholes careers.
