I do not believe that making money on this movement should discredit the information one shares or discredit the person outright. It is the content of their information that should discredit someone.

After all, I have been following Q since the beginning. I often spend hours a day looking into these boards. I have grown a fond respect and dare I say love for this movement. I think the underlying reason is for what it represents, the potential for TRUE FREEDOM.

I have grown to believe that if you find something that you love to do and you find a way to make money from it, you never have to work a day in your life. So I do not shame anyone for trying to make money from something they love, especially if they are providing a service.

What I do not like is if someone is making money where the underlying purpose is to mislead or there is a hidden agenda. It can often be hard to tell who is legit and who is misinformation and who has a hidden agenda. But you can more easily find those that love the underlying purpose behind their work and generally speaking they are good until proven otherwise.

Many of these YouTubers/writers/etc are making money doing a service. A service that helps people follow Q. Not everyone has hours upon hours a day to follow along. These sources provide summaries, they try to break things down for others to understand, they help spread the underlying message.

So while Q says to be careful on who you follow. I believe it is not necessarily meaning that if someone is profiting, they are bad. Instead, try to figure out why/how they are profiting or what their underlying purpose is. Look for red flags, but just having an ad on a video isn't and should not be a del breaker.

(full disclosure - I have not made money off Q and do not intend to)

As an ending metaphor- Just because someone is given money by the NRA doesn't mean that their message on guns should be discredited. Maybe their message was already what they are putting out and the NRA is supporting them. It is NOT necessarily that a person changed their message for the NRA money (though that may be the case for some).

Why does a friendly neighbor help change a tire for free while there are paid services that will change the tire?

The underlying work of changing the tire is the same.

Do not bash a paid service because you do it for free.

Instead, bash them if they knowingly put on a leaking tire because they own the tire shop down the road and know you will need to replace the tire aka- a hidden agenda.

> Don't try to rationalize making money off of someone else's torture.

If someone is trying to profit off someone else's torture, then yes it is not a good thing. But that is not what I am doing and it certainly is not what many of these people are doing.

Some of these people are doing this to spread the word. They have to spend hours upon hours to do research (on these boards and elsewhere). In order to do so, they need to do it full time. Thus, they need to pay the bills somehow.

What is wrong with making some money to pay the bills to help spread this information to wake up even more people?

Whether you like it or not, many people came across Q because of these people. They have been more of a service than a disservice - for the movement.

It's like the person who goes in to a hurricane disaster area and sells water for $10 a bottle. Do they need it? Yes Do they need you to take advantage of their plight? No.

Many people are intimidated by the chans. It is hard to follow Q posts without some additional research. People do not have time to sift through the TONS of information on these boards. They are providing a service. The cost? Watch 5 seconds from an ad.

In your hurricane situation above, what are the underlying cost to get the bottle of water to you? What if that money is going to be spent on rebuilding? What if it is to hire more people to deliver the water? Just because someone is charging $10, doesn't necessarily make it not right. If the underlying purpose is to keep the situation the same and to keep the market there so that they can sell more bottles of water at $10/bottle, then you can complain.

If I walked 10 miles to get a bottle of water and want to save it for myself for the next day, are you going to be mad at me for requesting $10 for said bottle of water when you ask for it?

America was founded on Capitalism. What you seem to be arguing for is a style of socialism.
