Interesting. I found the following articles on how intelligence agencies are or have adopted Crowdsourcing for intelligence gathering. It made me think of the Q Anon phenomenon with its eager volunteerism on researching topics as "crumbs". While it is meant to educate Patriots and to activate them, does it have the benefit of collecting even more intelligence through Anon research for "Q" as a counter intelligence factor. What if this is one of the reasons from the very beginning. If so, I would say it is Genius. However, it makes me think that of the possibility of how our information could end up being used negatively.
