there is just no beating them today for they are like the army of memes trying to get many views for the sponsors who paid them.
An army of memes. I'm not even sure what "meme" means anymore, because that word has gotten used so much to describe so many things, kind of like "narrative" and "racist". But you're dead-on about the majority of Youtubers being view whores--and the worst are the ones who get paid from Youtube ad revenue in addition to having product advertisements sneaked into their videos. Watching most videos on that platform is just like watching a bunch of TV commercials.
i remember an episode of max keiser and stacy laughing at these influencers on youtube who opens thier mouth widely.
Uh, yeah. And no offense to anyone in their 20s, because I've been there, but I constantly see and hear guys in that age range giving all sorts of financial advice as if they know what they're talking about--and believe me, 99% of them don't. They might have made money with crypto, but making a profit in a bull market doesn't make you an expert on anything. A monkey with a brain injury could do it as long as its fingers work, and when I hear someone barely past puberty giving trading/investing advice whilst the video playing is of some FPS game, I just shake my head. The only human being who could possibly benefit from content like that is the person who made it.
they learn blockchain in school too. that's why the new traders today concentrate more on crypto through these shills on youtube. never in their lives tried gold or silver before.
No doubt Youtube influences the younger generation heavily, but when it's influencing them to trade crypto, that could create a bubble. When lots of money pours into a market from people who don't really know what they're doing--but
think they do--then it usually doesn't end well.
But I can't say I blame any of them for not investing in metals. Young people probably should take a bit more risk than gold and/or silver, especially if they're investing for the future and want capital appreciation.
