I want you to see my replies.
I want you to make your case—even if I disagree with it.

It isn’t about your understanding, you want to prevent others
from understanding and that makes you an even bigger fool, TROLL.

There are a lot of “conspiracy theories” that are just true. Flat earth isn’t one of them. It’s not representative of the “conspiracy theories” that people would have reason to click.
Westerners “have more geology” than Easterners — mountains, deserts, volcanos, earthquakes — so they are more likely to click on something geology-related than New Jerseyans. More open spaces, more UFOs, so why not more queries about Flat Earth theories? They don’t necessarily believe the theories.

Why?
Because we can see too far with zoom equipment.
Consider basic geometry. It shows your assumption is incorrect. I have observed, with my naked eyes. mountains 50 to 60 miles away. The higher you are, the further you can see on a spherical earth. There are limits on the transmission of light through the atmosphere, for various reasons, particulates in the atmosphere, for example. The air tends to be more clear the higher you go, which helps.
Why not?
Parallax.
Why wouldn't you have parallax on a flat surface? For slight curvatures, the difference in parallax between flat and curved is not easily detectable.

It's all part of the conspiracy ...

The Antikythera Mechanism 2000 years onThe world’s first
computer was discovered on 17 May 1902 in a shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera, to the great puzzlement of archaeologists at the time.
There are at least 30 known gears in the mechanism which combined to create a geocentric model. A geocentric model of the Solar System is one that puts Earth at the centre, with the other planets, stars, the Moon, and the Sun all orbiting the Earth. geocentric = flat earth
Who builds a computer that doesn't work in its environment?

Consider basic geometry. When you're on a mountain do you look down to the horizon
or does the horizon come up to eye level?
YOU consider basic geometry
