Huge Q reach via TikTok, especially zoomers
TikTok's viewer base is strongly tilted toward zoomers. The Q message apparently is resonating strongly - look at these viewer numbers for certain Q-related accounts. That's a LOT of eyes even though there's no way to determine the number of unique individuals. Even though the US Government is shutting down TikTok, it still reaches many other countries.
TikTok reaches people who never would know how to or even think of finding 8kun. Love the Q-meme that Media Matters presented which discusses the Big Shutdown (10 days of darnkess/darkness, 100% of people indoors worldwide all watching the tribunals over the Emergency Alert System (or whatever platform the government decides to use), and ESPECIALLY Q's quote of "LOOK TO TWITTER: Exactly this: 'My fellow Americans, the Storm is upon us…….'" (re: Q drops #34, #35, #55, #97, #282).
Note how the use of camouflage wrt a hashtag name enables survival of the message.
