In the article you linked, you can find mentions of QAnon near the end:
> One such show is "Edge of Wonder," a verified YouTube channel that releases new NTD-produced videos twice every week and now has more than 33 million views. In addition to claims that alien abductions are real and the drug epidemic was engineered by the “deep state,” the channel pushes the QAnon conspiracy theory, which falsely posits that the same “Spygate” cabal is a front for a global pedophile ring being taken down by Trump.
> One QAnon video, titled “#QANON - 7 facts the MEDIA (MSM) Won’t Admit” has almost 1 million views on YouTube. Other videos in the channel’s QAnon playlist, which include videos about 9/11 conspiracy theories and one titled “13 BLOODLINES & their Diabolical End Game,” gained hundreds of thousands of views each.
> Travis View, a researcher and podcaster who studies the QAnon movement, said The Epoch Times has sanitized the conspiracy theory by pushing Spygate, which drops the wildest and more prurient details of QAnon while retaining its conspiratorial elements.
Note that links between this Youtube channel and The Epoch Times is not obvious, but the article you linked already covered that.
I've tried to verify the video [1], it seems to be taken down, but searching the link on Google resulted in various cross references on the Internet.

- aww_dang 6y agoThis is a technique I often see from the fact-checking sources. A claim such as Spygate will be conflated with something more ridiculous like Q. The ridiculous is used to ridicule the first claim. In fairness, Spygate is currently being investigated by the DOJ. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/14/us/politics/kevin-clinesmith-durham-investigation.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/14/us/politics/kevin-clinesm... Attributing Spygate to Q is a convenient way to discredit it. Regardless, coverage of Spygate is not equivalent to propagating Q theories. The entire discussion digresses from the topic at hand.
