Relevant as it discusses major companies making $ off an app -- and bashes Pizzagate.
An app promoting a conspiracy theory featuring Hillary Clinton and a child sex ring lingered at the top of Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store for months, with both tech giants receiving a cut of the revenue in the process.
The app, called “QDrops,” sends alerts about a conspiracy theory called Qanon, an offshoot of the “pizzagate” fiction that claimed Clinton was running a child sex trafficking ring out of the basement of a Washington pizza shop that didn’t even have a basement. Like many conspiracy theories, Qanon got its start on 4chan, an anonymous posting site that is a seedbed for extreme thought and a large number of online subcultures.

When I see mainstream news trash Q like this, it only lends more credibility to it. I'm still on the fence about whether it's a larp or if it's real.

I've got my fingers crossed that Q is the real deal, but I'm fully prepared to be let down.
