Unless a person is merely stating their opinions on the conspiracy topics I agree with you that these things dont have much place here. It is mostly repeated info disinformation and is not exactly an original thought because it is already all over youtube. Im in it for the long haul too. When I first started I had hoped steemit could pay my bills but im just not there yet! Good thing i have a day job now...but I mainly do this for fun/entertainment and dont expect much return for at least 3-5 years.
