A slightly different topic:
Q made me really cynical about people. Almost depressingly so.
It also awakened in me an interest in public relations and mass manipulation.
I suspect that Q hooked them similar to advertisement. Advertisement rarely sells you the product itself, but a subconscious desire. Deodorants sell you sex, candies for children sell you a happy family and beer sells you a good time with friends.
Q sold them the idea of knowing things ahead of time. Not just that, a false sense of security, justice and more. But I suspect that knowing things others don't and being proven right over time was the main pull.
And it completely surpassed any rationale thinking. In a way I never believed possible, if I hadn't I talked with them in the last few years.
And it's just some faggot on an image-board writing text. Whereas TV ads have emotional music and imagery.
