For some reason, they just don't get a lot of traction.
Every time I've tried, they fell flat - for whatever reason.
Is it because people just don't want to dedicate hours listening/watching?
Is it because they view it as "just another podcast" and glaze over it?
I don't know... but your efforts are just as good as anyone could do.
I'm kinda amazed that more here on GA aren't listening to Josh on the regular. Few know that almost all out there that do decodes - Q decodes specifically - get their stuff from Josh Reid. Even JT "AndWeKnow" admitted it last night.
With this being the "premier Q research board" one would think that more would be viewing and sharing the decodes and pointings that Josh shows on Redpill Project Daily Dose and Defcon Zerq...
I listened to about 90% of it. Stopped when they started reading chat comments.
Some of it is good, some not so much. Liked the "And we know" guy. Josh lost some credibility by talking a lot about how Chinese and others were going through the Darien Gap directly from Venezuela. It wouldn't have been so bad if he acknowledged Colombia is in between, but he repeated it a lot and it made him sound sloppy to me. I also disagree with the "now Flynn is Q" concept. Sure, he sends comms and makes Q-winks, but Q was a public facing op, and whatever Flynn is, he's not doing that role. It's easy to get in the groove and not worry too much about what's theory and what's relevant, and just absorb what they have, especially if I had been listening to these guys for a while, but in the meantime I found other voices that I like more. So ... they're not for me.
Chinese and others were going through the Darien Gap directly from Venezuela
Except, that actually happened. Tons of Venezuelans (~60%+) and Chinese (~25k in 2023) are crossing the Darién Gap, often starting in Venezuela or Ecuador. Chinese numbers spiked 10x since 2022, using smugglers and social media guides. Other groups like Afghans and Indians too. It’s a brutal route—swamps, bandits, deaths—but crossings dropped 98% in 2025 due to crackdowns. Sources: UN, Panama gov, news reports.
It's the length + the abundance of disinfo agents that have suckered us into long-form vids.
This. I've been getting real tired of long-ass videos in general, anything over an hour is starting to ask a lot of me especially if there is a lot of jabbering and getting off topic (a big reason why I stopped watching "Altered State" and "Baseless Conspiracy".) Especially on Rumble which still needs to improve on remembering where you left off on a video, if I come back and it restarts me from the beginning I'm not very unlikely to bother to try to figure out where I had paused.
I listen via the BadLands podcast hosted on the the iHeart Radio App. I listen at 1.5X the speed because the hosts tend to talk sloooow so it actually sounds normal (to me anyway). The BadLands channel has various other podcasts, I can burn through a few in a couple hours.
The only thing I miss out on is video the hosts might highlight, but if it’s something really intriguing I’ll seek out the Rumble video… hate the Rumble platform, it’s buggy as all get out - for this Mac user anyway. If I try to scrub to a point past anything beyond 20min it will reset to the beginning. Super aggravating.
I guess people are worn out and that includes the anons. We just want it to be over, but it isn't over and we have work to do.
We need to understand the plan really well including the information that is, only now being decoded. It wasn't meant to be decoded earlier it is for NOW.
Get to it anons, update your understanding, cement your knowledge.
As Josh says:
The Q team are transmitting RIGHT NOW in their new comms format and we have to learn it because it's what we were brought here for. It's our job.
It could be cut down if tjeyed just get ro the point and not go down memory lane amd waste time. Just get the pertinent info to us. Shorts are the key. I dont need deoderwnt commercials and b.s. about an hour of useless stuff.
That's an interesting point as they mentioned this very thing themselves, saying that comms moved to short form and meme and left the cabal out of date.
Sometimes I still need this long form to properly soak in the connections in time with the conversations.
After many years of being an anon, it's actually quite hard to pack new relevant information into my head without forgetting it all immediately.
I feel like a worn-out SSD where all the memory cells have been overwritten lots of times.
X22 Report and GA.win is all anyone really needs to stay current. The question shouldn't be "why won't people watch?" The question should be "why would anyone watch this?" Most likely, its because there's not likely to be any info that isn't already well understood.
Let me be clear; I'm extremely grateful that this board is as active as it is, and I appreciate pretty much every post.
Let me also be clear that I'm in no way being mean, sarcastic, nothing of the sort.
You asked for feedback from people here, I'm giving it to you.
With love & respect. 😇🐸🫡🙏🙏
HOWEVER........
However.....
There's a massive number of posts that are 99% identical to this:
"Hey guys, here's a 1h 30 min (90 min) video, OMFG bombshell! You HAVE to watch!!!"
....With ZERO other info.
No context; zero clues as to the topic, no summary / key points; what should we even be looking for? What prompted you to even post it?
Just because you take away XYZ from a video absolutely does NOT mean everyone else will take that exact same point from the video. Most might not even SEE the single point(s) that drew you to even post it to begin with!
In fact, I'd wager that 3 different people could each watch the same video & take away 5 totally different things from it. Our mental diversity here is our strength. 😁
I'm not exaggerating when I say that if you did nothing but watch 100% of every video posted here every day, you wouldn't be able to get through more than 6 posts, because again; there are so many posts that contain multi-hour long videos. So, just randomly pick 5-6 video posts from here and you'd have at LEAST 6-18+ hours of videos.
Minimum.
Even worse; I've definitely seen many people here (whether it's the original poster or not) get butthurt / snarky when people (like me) start asking questions; asking for a short & basic summary; SOME shred of info so I can ascertain if I want to even think about spending 1-2 hours of my life listening to it (even at 1.25 or 1.5x speed)
Like; I get it & agree 100%; we should not have to, nor do we want to spoon-feed, be spoon-fed.
However, I think on the whole, we've absolutely gone way too far the other direciton which is as I've outlined; people posting videos that are 1, 2, even 3-4 HOURS long, basically refusing to provide any summary / bullet points / context, AND getting bitchy when people have the nerve to ask for even the most basic info about the video.
My humble opinion since you asked, and again submitted with respect, love & gratitude......and a little frustration.....LOL..... 😁😇🐸🫡🙏
There's one I came across & bookmarked at random.
I haven't tried any of them yet; it's on my miles-long "someday" list....LOL....
But if people could even paste their video links into a tool like that, then include the bullet points / summary along with the 1.5 hours long video; I think that alone would be HUGELY helpful in drawing more people to actually engage with the videos posted here.
Thanks - that's good AND totally fair feedback, fren. I appreciate you taking the time to get it all out.
Regarding these "AI summarizers" - I'm not a fan of them for a few reasons:
Most, if not all of the free ones stop summarizing at 60 minutes. After that is where things tend to get juicy.
The summary is VERY long winded and presented in not easy to read, not welcoming "machine" language. I've found AI to be simultaneously wishy-washy while trying to be factual and "sanitary". Not a good combo IMO.
AI's summary and conclusions often completely miss the mark, and much is "lost in translation" because AI doesn't truly understand the context.
AFAIK, they only work on YouTube videos by reading the transcript... I don't think most read rumble, but I could be wrong about that.
Most, if not all of the free ones stop summarizing at 60 minutes. After that is where things tend to get juicy.
If it takes an hour for things to start getting juicy then the streamers need to learn to get to the damn point and not waste the first 1/3 of the stream time talking about their personal lives and crap (some Badlands hosts have gotten really bad about that.)
Even worse; I've definitely seen many people here (whether it's the original poster or not) get butthurt / snarky when people (like me) start asking questions; asking for a short & basic summary; SOME shred of info so I can ascertain if I want to even think about spending 1-2 hours of my life listening to it (even at 1.25 or 1.5x speed)
Yep, it's like a friend of mine who would just send me a link to some 3+ hour interview on Joe Rogan or Patrick David Bet or Tim Fool even and get chuffed when I demand a time stamp to whatever it is he wants me to see. No bro I'm not going to spend my time listening to the entire thing especially when they're probably going to end up talking about something that's news to you but you've forgotten that I told you about 2-3 years ago.
I listen to Josh. He said he is called Joshapedia. Mayve that's why people don't listen to him, He is great at comms and his navy background provides so much to his stories. True Q guy.
I like their stuff. Some things that I think might help people get into it easier:
Josh can talk really really fast at times, which helps get through things that you may already know a little quicker. But I imagine it might be hard for some people to catch.
Along with the talking speed, when he’s moving around a lot or changing distance from the whatever he’s using for a mic, the audio can get really low and be basically impossible to hear. I imagine he’s just super excited, as we all are, so hopefully these are easy fixes.
The length, when it’s unnecessary and off topic. Everyone here knows how much time good research can take, and I like when people are willing to go deep to really break something down. But when there’s too much off-topic I think it gives people the appearance of “grifting”, since that’s what those type of shows do.
They need to be more detailed on what and where they’re breaking down. For example, when Josh was breaking down the Q map on their other show, he kept mentioning things “ the Q boards”. What Q boards? We know it changed a bunch of times. I think little things like this could help.
I don’t really care for any of the other Badlands shows, specifically in the podcast format. Way too much off topic. Too long intros and outros with terrible audio that’s coming from videos being played. Audio levels are never even so it’s hard to make out some hosts while others are way too loud. And if you’re talking about doing little in-person events and get togethers, it’s automatically a grift.
Devolution power hour intro annoys me... it's like 11 minutes long or something.
I don't care for any woman on Badlands. Either their voice or personality grates my nerves. Mrs TaQo agrees.
I've taken a different view about some of the offerings on Badlands that I'll never again watch - many of them are not for "us" - because we're somewhat battle hardened being here and discussing major topics without them ending in rage quitting or name calling like everywhere else. Those shows are meant for those normies we hear about that need to wake the F up. I don't know if it's working...
To be clear, my MO with these shows is just to share them with people here, with the understanding that they're "pretty good & mostly free from all the grifter bs we all hate around here" and, the focus is on Q - and the decodes, as far as I can tell, are on point. That's really it. In an endless sea of dilrods trying to make a living off a show - it's sometimes hard to tell who's in it for the right reasons and who's in it just to make coin. I believe Josh at least, is doing this in true digital soldier form - engaging not only on video but substack, X and doing all the work himself as a full-time job. The others copy him or someone else and try pawning it off as their own.
For some reason, they just don't get a lot of traction.
Every time I've tried, they fell flat - for whatever reason.

Can anyone reading this provide any insights?

I stop listening when they dance around the point in the first few minutes

Or at least do more focused documentary-type vids rather than making everything a live talk-show format where they keep going off topic.

Oh, one last thing; Apparently "ai-powered video summarizers" are now a thing; https://decopy.ai/youtube-video-summarizer/
