i also think 10% Q awareness is an overly generous estimate.
i went on a cruise ship trip recently and wore a red wwg1wga hat. only one person noticed enough to comment on it to me— out of possibly 3000 passengers on the ship (mostly 50 yo or over).
so, i think the Q awareness penetration might be closer to 5% or even 1%.
alternatively, q aware people might be so shy that they cannot even bring themselves to acknowledge each other in a neutral setting. however, that seems somewhat unlikely to me.
cruise ship people may not be a good judge. They attract people that like Las Vegas type of attractions.
Thanks for your anecdotal data. Matches mine pretty closely. :-(
You make an excellent point about “shyness”. Similarly, a lot of us lie about our voting preferences on polls or refuse to answer at all. And many of us do not have bumper stickers or yard signs for fear of vandalism.
On the plus side, I think that Q has access to a lot of non-public data and has a pretty good assessment of the facts on the ground. 8kun traffic, FR traffic and similar probably figure into that data.
Maybe the lack of obvious awareness is the reason for the Jesse Watters mention. Maybe there are enough of us (10%, 5%, or even 1%) that Q trusts us to help educate the rest when the info starts going mainstream. :-)
