whatever it is it's fake as fuck. it's been going steadily up for several hours now with no in real life for doing so.
i've always watched that number closely over the past several months and it goes up and down organically, like when q posts or some news article mentions qanon.pub, but this is completely artificial as far as I can tell.
It's either Q trying to piss of the DS or the DS trying to slowly overwhelm the site.
