it would no longer allow QAnon-related merchandise on its retail platform after it became popular for conspiracy theorists looking to buy stickers, apparel, mugs, and other QAnon goods. But Amazon, which is currently home to more than 1,000 QAnon-related items offered by third-party sellers, has not yet followed suit. An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment when asked by Insider whether the company would ban merchandise related to the conspiracy theory movement.
Many items include just the letter "Q" with American flag designs, as well as the movement's slogan, "Where we go one, we go all," or "WWG1WGA." By Insider's count on Tuesday, there are at least 17 books about QAnon for sale from third-party sellers on Amazon. These books appear to embrace the theory and explain its intricacies rather than debunk or critically anazlyze it as a conspiracy theory.
Most of the books have fewer than 100 reviews, but two of them have racked up thousands. "QAnon: An Invitation to the Great Awakening," published by a company called Relentlessly Creative Books that publishes other QAnon and pro-Trump books, has a 4.5 star average of 2,220 ratings. Amazon flagged the book for its "Great on Kindle" program, offering a $1 credit on a subsequent Kindle purchase for an account that buys the Kindle version of the book. Some reviewers of the book appear to openly promote the QAnon conspiracy theory. One March 2019 reviewer wrote, "Every person that is awakened by this book and this movement, strengthens our fight against the evil ones that wanted to take over our world." Some 325 people flagged that review as "helpful.
Most of the recent reviews, however, are from people disavowing and debunking the movement. An October 8 review said that falling for the theory is "bad for you," and an October 1 review called the book "gross."
does amazon force people to purchase qanon items?
So what - deal with it
