I thank Q (of anonymous 4 & 8 Chan fame) for indirectly leading me to Steemit. As Q became more and more of an internet sensation, there arose a plethora of QTubers on YouTube, QTubing about this mysterious letter, Q.
One October day in 2017, as I browsed YouTube in my usual manner, not really looking for anything in particular, the more I began to notice these QTubers popping up all over the place in my 'Recommended'. Curiosity got the best of me, and I had to find out what this strange Q-emergence was.
I've been scratching about the surface of the proverbial rabbit hole for decades, discovering new twists and turns and dimly lit crevices all along the way but, this particular turn into the Q-cavern was one that I now consider to have truly blown all of the circuits and synapses of my brain; it led me down the strangest of all paths I'd ever been led down before; and on that fateful day in October, I met the mother of all Mad Hatters as I clicked and clicked and clicked through to watch my first QTube videos.
While I don't remember exactly what the details of the videos I watched are, I do remember feeling a feeling of weirdness gradually building up inside of me - a creepy sensation - and washing over me; washing me over what I felt was like the edge of a precipice into an abyss of madness. I heard an audible 'POP!' sound as I hit the ground; I looked around at my surroundings, thinking, "After all these years! After all this time! I think I'm finally in Wonderland! Truly, for real this time!"
One of the videos I stumbled on while researching Q was created by a guy by the name of Titus Frost. I found him to be a particulary engaging personality; informative, funny, creative and covering a variety of topics - not just Q. He was also consistent enough with uploading his videos that I was instantly hooked on his channel. I watched for hours and hours; his content is responsible for not only pulling me further down into the rabbit hole, with stuff like pizzagate, the jesuit and freemason conspiracies, etcetera, etcetera, but he's also responsible for introducing me to Steemit.
Thank you Titus!
And, thank you Q.
Er...did I even get around to introducing myself?
Maybe I'll have to try that again in another post....
