@Pondering have you considered that QAnon may just be a money-making scheme for the people promoting it at this point?
There is no money. Some risk their lives to give information. All are anon even Q, R, but lately the Q+ might have some new confirmations. There is no venue for donating and no one to give to so no, that is not a distraction.
We were warned to watch who we follow outside of Q..some are sincere and some were hoping to misdirect the intelligence or compete. AJ for example claimed to have a source better than Q..we were told that there never were, are, or will be "outside coms" so it was a personal warning to me to not be pulled into his rhetoric and passion. That proved in time to be accurate information. Same w some of AJ associates.
Thank you for asking. Q didn't post from October 9th til the first of November so I got busy with other things, apologize for the delayed response.
