Has everyone seen HBO's "Q: Into the Storm"? What did you think?

[Hamlette]

I think he/they definitively proved who Q is. And its sort of nice to have been spoon fed the history of the "movement".

Does it die out now?

it is Ron Watkins who, with his father Jim, own and run 8chan now known as 8kun.

Jim and Ron bought 8chan from Fred Brennen who started it when he was 19. Apparently it has never been profitable but is more a vanity project for the Watkins.

Someone posted as Q starting in October of 2017 on 4chan. Q allegedly moved to 8chan in January 2018. It seems pretty obvious that the person who started posting in January 2018 is Ron and his posting style changed from the earlier posts on 4chan. I have a couple of questions that were not answered like who was the person known as Q who posted on 4chan. Was it Ron who just changed his style when he moved to 8chan? I also don't get the financing of 8chan. They say it has never made money but when Jim and Ron Watkins acquired 8chan they supported the former owner, Fred Brennen, for at least a couple of years paying a ton of in kind money. They paid for his apartment and paid for his assistant (he is disabled and cannot live by himself).

2. I'm glad that I saw it.

It could have been shorter, lots of extraneous stuff but it was fascinating to see the key players behind QAnon.
Can't say that I "enjoyed" it but I learned from it. The Trump cult is weird.

4. I had the same reaction

There were a couple of places I got "lost" in unnecessary details.

It would be nice of Qanon folk would watch it and believe it but they are too far gone.

But I too am glad I watched it. That scene when he figures out it is Ron is priceless.
