Is there any data on who made QAnon?

I remember hearing about Q back in 2017 and thought it was one of the silliest trolls ever. I am confused how lots of people still believe in it in 2022.

Do you think there is government involvement in QAnon?

Didn't the owners of 8chan(Jim and Ron Watkins) accidentally admit that they are Q? I thought they were just having fun, and their message was spread on the internet thanks to idiots. Wow.

Some MSM media outlet did a news article on it and analyzed the writing styles and said it was the 8chan guys. Here's my take on it from the other day below the link.

My theory has always been that it was started by a random guy having some fun, was then co-opted by Ron Watkins to get traffic to his site, then the media and government caught on and started pushing it since it keeps the right docile and useless. The media backed off it when pizzagate happened, but the government kept pushing it behind the scenes.

pizzagate was years before Q tho

Most likely the Clinton campaign.

Could be plausible as it has corrupted discussion on heavy topics. Plus, lots of other people have taken note of the fact Q started two months after Unite the Right, which failed to appeal to conservatives after all that drama.
