The Q twitter account itself seems pretty uninteresting. I'm just about certain its some sort of automatic string generator connected to a few major news feeds.

The interesting thing is the people who comb through the text "cloud-spotting" for little bits of text that fit their narrative and reposting those bits announcing that "Q is right!"

If all you read is that second order feed from those people, you can see how someone who's not very informed might start to believe. Its like a twisted horoscope.

The really interesting thing is that as the random text from the Q account moves down through social media accounts, it somehow becomes "news"!
