I never heard of QAnon before 2021
I first read Q Anon posts back in 2016 or so on 4chan. Most of the posts were written like nebulous horoscope entries-subject to interpretation by the reader.
Q Anon is beneficial for one thing: weeding out the believers of Q Anon as they lack grey matter and are impressionable.
I was reading it back in 2016. He said Hillary would be in prison in October. 2016. It used to be FBI anon.
It was here in 2017:
GNAnon: Are any FReepers on 4Chan and following GNAnon?
It's kinda funny, but OwenKellogg might have nailed it:
Who is Q?
He’s acting a whole lot like our old Freeper “quidam.”
