For instance, many Crypto YouTubers, and the like, often appear successful. However, this is more often than not a rather deceptive scenario. Many of these individuals earn ridiculous amounts of Crypto and fiat via ad revenue, promotions, and other methods of monetization.
I think some pump tokens and dump on their followers.
Others are paid shills.
Other have more Ethical Strategies like clearly marked paid Advertising .
It’s a diverse ecosystem, and it is important to know what your watching or reading.
