I can only attest to my experience back when Q posts were stickied on our subreddit, but it got people hyped. Many users I saw following Q were also the ones posting things they found on Wikileak drops. Since the Subreddit is KIA I have nothing but my word, but I am neither a Q-supporter or a Q-denier. So this is the perspective of a five year long 'pede with no skin in the Q game.
