Conspiracists might not invoke Loose Change much anymore, but it’s still considered standard viewing. “I still get DMs a couple times a week telling me, ‘ Loose Change changed my life,’” Bermas says.

As the 9/11 Truth movement grew and evolved, Korey became more aware of the people with outlandish ideas who were gravitating toward their specific project, including some with hard-to-follow conspiracy theories about moon beams and lizard people. He began to feel a deep loathing for those particularly fringe types, he said, in part because he thought they were undermining what he and Dylan believed was a legitimate enterprise. There were so many of them, and in unexpected places — rich, poor, young, old, indulging their fantasies out of public view even while living otherwise mainstream lives. The statement that New York's Empire State Building was hit by a B-52 bomber "sometime during the 1950s or 1960s" was corrected; the Empire State Building was hit by a much smaller plane, the twin-propeller B-25 Mitchell, in 1945.

Amid an ongoing global pandemic that many people had come to deny, and a baseless national dispute over the results of the 2020 election, they were trying to understand how reality had become a partisan prize to be won. In his book American Conspiracies, specifically in Chapter 12 ("What Really Happened on September 11?"), former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura wrote that he urged "everyone to see" the documentary Loose Change. [76] The version Ventura saw was the 2007 (Final Cut) and he wrote that from the film, he was "amazed at the many firefighters and other eyewitnesses who talked about a whole series of explosions before and during the collapse of the buildings." [76] One of the many aspects these critiques focus on is Loose Change's analysis of the collapse of the World Trade Center. The comparison to other notable high-rise fires that did not lead to collapse ignores differences in building design, significant WTC structural damage, and compromised fireproofing, [47] [58] as most steel loses over half its strength at 600°C (1,100°F). [59] [60] The comparison with Madrid's Windsor Tower fails to note its steel-supported perimeter floors that collapsed during the fire. [61] Kevin Ryan, described by Loose Change as working for Underwriters Laboratories (UL), was actually employed in a water-testing subsidiary. [47] Furthermore, UL does not certify structural steel, [47] and ASTM E119 certification is not meant to predict performance in real uncontrolled fires. [62] The NIST found no evidence of any firm having conducted tests on WTC materials in the past. [63] Another expert quoted, Van Romero, has clarified that he was misquoted by the Albuquerque Journal; he had actually said that it "looked like" explosives took down the WTC. When the misquote was printed, he felt his "scientific reputation was on the line." [60]

The contemporary conspiracy-theory boom reached an astonishing new height (or nadir, depending on your perspective) this August when Marjorie Taylor Greene, an avowed believer of the QAnon conspiracy theory, won the Republican primary for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, all but ensuring her election to Congress. (A Democrat hasn’t won the seat since the district was apportioned following the 2010 census.)

This was leaps and bounds more sophisticated than “Loose Change” had ever been, and yet there were echoes of its style there, clear lessons carried over across formats, from conspiracy theories to commercials. I was f---ing angry. I was angry at the government. I was angry at the media. I just wanted to say something,” Korey recalled. “And so this became my vessel. We never, ever, ever expected it to go anywhere.”
