I actually think the much more recent generations (today's teenagers and kids) are showing signs of being far less likely to fall for media manipulation; they've grown up immersed in it and their IMMEDIATE response, on hearing anything at all online, is to assume that it's BS. They've spent their whole lives seeing things online that turned out to be BS. So this was an inevitable mechanism and it'll be interesting to see how that pans out for "tomorrow's adults".

So why are so many young people so easily convinced by conspiracy theories. ??

Doesn’t add up
