DIGG Q 2626/2627 on Travis View: conspiracy skeptic who just bragged that he "triggered" Q
Travis View is extensively quoted in the article just cited by Q (Posts 2626/2627), because he is a "conspiracy theory researcher." But who is he, really?
According to WaPo, Travis View is a marketer, writer, and conspiracy theory researcher. He has written anti-Q articles: one each for WaPo, ArcDigital and Medium. He has an active Twitter account and spars regularly with Qanon followers, who challenge his anti-Q views (see Caps).
Travis claims he is not paid to shill Q but does it "for fun." Says he has a marketing job that has nothing to do with his work as a Q critic, but I found no trace of anything indicating where he works or what he does (Twitter).
TWITTER & PODCAST:
@Travis_View, Father. Husband. Tap water goblin. Co host of @QAnonAnonymous: "I tweet about QAnon, conspiracy theories, disinformation, and other signs of the dystopia."
@QAnonAnonymous: The QAnon Anonymous Podcast chops & screws the best conspiracy theories of the post-truth era. Joined August 2018. @Travis_View is one of three hosts.
'''Travis View and Ben Collins just exchanged tweets about the effect of the NBC article on Q and anons:
Travis View: "This is the article that triggered Q."
Ben Collins: "Today was special. The dreamy justice fantasies worked the other way around."
So these guys enjoy trying to trigger people just for the hell of it. At least, that is what they say.

So Travis and Ben are buddies, leading Ben to cite him heavily as a conspiracy theory researcher, although Ben doesn't have cred for that, other than his own claims to expertise.
