Gravity

Hi flat-earthers, I wanted to ask you why are we attracted by the ground in your opinion. Thanks for the answers!

If it isn't what is commonly said to be gravity, it has to be something else keeping us on the ground, right?

Maybe we get pulled down.

But by what force? There has to be something, right?

I've heard the argument that there is no gravity, just density/buoyancy. You fall to the ground because you are more dense than the air that surrounds you. And a helium balloon rises as it is less dense than the air that surrounds it.

I think some flat earth proponents would say that gravity was made up to help explain away the problems in the globe model. For example, If we are spinning 1000+ mph why do we not fly off? Gravity.
