Agreed, here's how I choose to view it: Q - a series of open source intelligence drops. Qanon (truthers) - A growing movement consisting of a population of lay individuals that attempt to interpret and spread awareness of the information passed. This movement also includes countless individuals that attempt to profit from the information and/or attempt to discredit the information or divide the movement by inserting disinformation.  Q conspiracy - Speculation that stems from the noise created by the qanon (truther) movement. Read Mooch's comments again with this in mind.
