I agree with you, if access method becomes more complex, the site dies.
Your history of Q migration is mixed up, but even a huge mixup in the history is inconsequential.
I do find the various means of manipulating the beliefs of segments of the population to be fascinating. The official narrative is losing its persuasive power (not many people trust the government or the press to tell the truth), but in the end that doesn't matter as long as the elections can be controled, and the elits have the law and legal force of violence behind them. IOW, being morally just isn't necessary to rule. Brute force and propaganda gets the job done.

Here's an interesting factoid. The highest rated Fox News show (which is Tucker or Sean Hannity depending on the week) gets about 3 million unique viewers a week. (CNN is lucky to break a million.)
The old broadcast networks ABC, NBC, CBS get about 8 million each for their prime time news shows. . Maybe there is some overlap, of people who watch two or more network news casts, but I suspect it's small.
So, I think we internet-obsessed, Freepin' , comment forum savvy folks sometimes forget that there is a HUGE swath of people still surviving on mid 20th century information access.
There are also tons of millenials who get news in ways that are odd. It's like when X'ers got news from Comedy Central, only know it's even more obscure sites and technologies.
Which gets to your next point:

I think they are working hard to maintain propaganda superiority. MS-NBC going hard left was part of that, and they dragged all of NBC (with its much larger viewship) with them. Meet The Press, the oldest show on TV, a show that a lot of people like my Mom rely on, is now a horrible leftist dumpster fire. (Tim Russert is rolling in his grave.)
As for this point:

That's the norm in human affairs. The USA had a great run where he tried to do better, but it seems like thats coming to an end and we are entering back into the "Might Makes Right" style that is the norm through most of human history.
and the elites have the law and legal force of violence behind them.
Yes, and they sure don't like having armed citizens out there, either.
Gee, I wonder why? What do they plan on doing next?
