“Anonymous, so fame is irrelevant.’”

The people who are doing it are not anonymous, they just don’t publicly admit that they are the ones making the Q posts. They very much have public personas capitalizing on the Q phenomenon though.

If your identity is secret, you are not famous. You are not recognized.

This seems simple.

Not sure if you are being deliberately obtuse or just can’t understand the concept.

UPDATE: Yesterday, when Posobiec was also shown that one of his “chat” videos was a fraud - the system time shown never changed - Posobiec changed his video + report; the original can still be found but his generally available one is now “fixed” (forged). Posobiec is a fool & DS tool.

Yes, take Neon Revolt. His entire web site is devoted to Q, and he's got lots of merchandise on there.

No one ever heard of him before he started channeling Q stuff onto his site.

He's ranked 7,582 by Alexa now for the USA.

Here's where his visitors come from:

Upstream Sites
Which sites did people visit immediately before this site?

Site Percent of Unique Visits
1. youtube.com 8.7%
2. google.com 8.2%
3. reddit.com 6.6%
4. qanon.pub 4.1%
5. t.co 4.1%

He's selling hats:

I have a shop now, featuring clothing for men, women, and children, as well as home goods and accessories!

And he's directly selling access to his stuff on gab.

Sponsor Neon Revolt

Hey, if you liked the site and appreciate what I do here, why not sponser Neon Revolt with a Gab Subscription?

It’s easy, and works just like Patreon. Just 1.99 a month helps keep the site running smooth.

Just click the big pink Subscribe button over on Gab, and pictured below!

So, yeah, it would be a BIG DEAL to his business if Microchip's claims turn out to be true, and the Qanon cult dies, or shrinks down to nothing.

Except that this thread isn't a duplicate because:

1. The link in that video is to a shaky hand-held youtube video of someone watching part of the original OAN video on their computer monitor, and my post is to the actual complete professionally hosted OAN video.

and 2. I provided extensive links in my commentary including the original screen shots of the logs, discussion of the debunking and debunking-of-the debunking.

and 3. I followed Free Republic guidelines in posting the Original Title of the Source (the OAN Video) which the previous link did not, make it impossible to find if you wanted to based on the original article.

... but yes, the same general topic.

I’m not sure why you think someone posting anonymously is famous.

There are only really two possibilities, the logs are fake, or Microchip was the originator of Q, along with Dreamcatcher.

Do you believe that "Dreamcatcher" is James Brower? (Asking for a friend!)

Gee Jack. You seem to be working very hard with your skeptic hat on. So may you were a Never Qer as many thought.

Yep, it seems you can’t grasp the explanation. Well, I’m not going to bother to try to explain it again in smaller words or anything, sorry.

I note you haven’t answered my question, nor attempted an explanation. You must have some idea?

How can you benefit from anonymously telling people to think for themselves?

How can fame benefit you, if you are anonymous?

I await your thoughts...

“I note you haven’t answered my question, nor attempted an explanation.”

I already explained it but you either can’t grasp it or you’re playing dumb.

How about this: Batman may be anonymous, but Bruce Wayne is famous. Can you understand that?

So while “Q” is anonymous, the person or persons actually making the posts can still have a public persona and thereby profit by the posts that they are creating, by running a website, or a youtube channel, etc, based on those posts. I can’t explain it in any simpler terms than that, so if you still don’t get it, I’m not going to bother trying to help you figure it out anymore.

PS - Bruce isn’t famous for what Batman does...

I’m with you. It was fun for awhile. But anything that gives me too much “tick tock” and no results shows itself to be fraudulent. But let people have their fun.

To me, the Q people aren’t nearly the obnoxious bores that the Bushbots of old were on their damnable “day in the life” threads. The Democrats were ravaging the countryside and those idiots were publishing grinning photos of W, the ghoul who was betraying us to them, like he was a damned superhero. And they whined like two year olds if anyone criticized El Jefe on one of their threads.

No, that just serves as an answer to your question:

“I’m not sure why you think someone posting anonymously is famous.”

You seem to be pretending that someone can’t have an anonymous persona and also have a more public persona. So I had to stoop to the most childishly simple example I could think of to try to explain it to you.

Now as to how one persona can profit off another, just look at the sockpuppet accounts here on FR that post links to their blogs in order to drive traffic to their website and get ad revenue. They are using one persona to profit off another one. This is quite a common phenomenon on the internet.

The most obvious one is PamphletAnon, since he recorded himself on a livestream logged in and posting on the QAnon 8chan account. He also admitted on another livestream that he has access to modify QAnon posts. So he has outed himself as one of the people behind the scam, and he certainly profits off it, since he has a monetized youtube account based on “Q” and seems to have quit his day job to do this full time.
