I don't believe many genuine flat earthers exist, I think 'conspiracies' like the flat earth and the moon landing being a hoax are a massive psyop to make conspiracy theories seem completely insane to the average Joe so that people are less inclined to believe in other conspiracy theories that are a bit more grounded. After all, you don't wanna be lumped in with those crazies that think the Earth is flat, right?

I have to admit I subscribe to this line of thinking, but I also have to admit it is just conspiracy theory advanced classes. However I do believe it is useful to talk about conspiracy theories in a more fine grained way, after all even the most rationale people who flat out renounce them have at least some opinion which do not 100% align with the official narratives.
