people like Bannon, Robert Barnes, Rich Baris , or Glenn Greenwald.

Those are credible sources of information and good geopolitical speculators. Something the paytriots lack entirely.

I see X22 as something else. The outlet predates Q and has always claimed to be a news aggregator and speculator. Dave makes it very clear he is just reporting current events and when relating to Q he specifically uses phraseology that is definitive opinion. The group of names I mentioned claim to have insider knowledge, access, and even grander fictitious claims most here are familiar with.

X22 doesn't do that. He claims to be infotainment and owns it as such. The other group is running a grift, and while obvious to most anons, some will always fall for it. Sophist tradecraft for sale under the guise of whatever the target audience is seeking.
