I think Q's post was aimed squarely at the people receiving most to all of their income from their followers. So far, the best research and political analysis I've seen has come from those who receive no compensation or on rare occasions mention they accept donations.
All the others are no better than the most average among us. The worst are the ones who spin up and scare their followers into feeling constant fear. The second worst are the ones constantly begging for money by pushing books, patreon, ads, or whatever. Those who don't fall in either of these two groups IMO are fine. The folks, who felt guilty when reading Q's post, most likely are not the intended recipients.
It's incredibly easy to prey on others. I think Q was trying to get vulnerable people to open their eyes. When a person turns into a fan of someone else, (s)he becomes an easy mark. The other individual's motives may be quite different (and possibly evil) than one would expect.
