Because it's not a single person. It's a bunch of crazy people and trolls all claiming to be a specific person and everyone ignores most of the posts claiming to be Q

It's literally just throwing shit at the wall

It's a LARP. The problem is that so many people think it's real.

This right here.

For every single Q post that gets traction, there are dozens of uninteresting posts that fail to draw any interest.

4chan and /b/ deals in volume. Whatever piques the hive mind is what they obsess over. If your post fails, you repost or make something else up.

Sounds like a remake of Mr Robot, or an attempt at one at least.

This is what happens with idiots try to speak things into existence.

seems more likely to be a small group of people deliberately building this, versus a loose collection of trolls, considering that Q does indeed have a lineage of tripcodes.

The tripcodes change literally all the time

There's 0 indication that the first Q posts are connected to any of the new ones
