I generally like the idea of cryptocurrency, and maybe I'm just cynical, brash, uncaring, or a little too independent minded, or maybe just an asshole, but titscoin? MILF coin? Save The Kids? I've got a few points I'd like to make on this topic.
I guess I'm old but I have no idea who any of these "influencers" are. It must be a strange world disconnected from everything that makes up my world.
If you're watching some guy videotape himself sitting at his computer, I can judge you for that and maybe I'm judgmental, but if you're stupid enough to spend your money on something because some guy who takes pictures of himself tells you to, I'm sorry but suckers exist to get took. If there was ever a truth more timeless than that one I'd like to hear it.
Conversely, if you're some guy who is getting offered some money to shill a scam and you're stupid enough to do it, you deserve what's coming for you, and it is coming for you. You've just videotaped your full face committing fraud. No amount of "come on guys they offered me a bunch of money what am I supposed to do lmao" is going to save you.
On the topic of scams and cryptocurrency scams, watch YouTube videos for a couple of hours and see how long you can go without getting an ad that is a scam, cryptocurrency or otherwise. Getting told by some bald black guy about a free government check (racist much?) or about some secret loophole to get free gold bars or whatever in between songs really makes me glad I blo k ads everywhere. I wonder if these are the advertisers YouTube has to please when banning political accounts, I wonder if YouTube will get hit the way these influencers are going to. Scams exist everywhere, nobody is safe from them, nobody is too reputable to shill them for a buck, no amount of laws will prevent them from happening, and the only way to be more safe from them is to educate yourself and to take a skeptical approach to anything anyone ever tells you.
On a deeper note, just the state of some aspects of the world where people follow professional selfie takers on the internet as some sort of meaningful part of their lives, and the delusion that such a person is likely to be anything other than an opportunist or grifter, that whole world grosses me out, I assume everyone in it (the followers and the influencers) is devoid of redeeming qualities until proven otherwise, I'm sure there's someone out there in that world that isn't a total loser or piece of shit, just like I'm sure there's a Chinese woman with green eyes out there somewhere. All in all I'd say these people deserve each other.
