Topic: Honest question, what to think about “crypto” affiliates or influencers? (Read 741 times)

There is nothing wrong about being a Youtuber and/or affiliate in the world of cryptocurrency trading.

It’s just that most of them that I see are just hyping their viewers with their fake TAs, shilling tokens that it could go x10, x100, etc.

These kinds of influencers on Youtube, TikTok or any other platform who are doing these schemes just don’t care about what others think but rather focusing on earning money by giving them ridiculously expensive “crypto trading” courses.

I would rather be following ethical crypto Youtubers who are for real and not hyping their subscribers and/or followers. In fact I am a crypto Youtuber myself, but I would rather be called as a content creator or educator than being an influencer.

always considers their opinion as just an advertisement, i would always doubt their opinion and the things they mentioned in general after all there's always ulterior motives.
i would argue that sometime these influencers and affiliates are good at giving information about the project that they're related with.
but at the end of the day they are doing this for the sake of money advertising the project sometime they don't care how shit the project are, or how shit their trading journey was.
therefore take it with grain of salt.
its always better if you can do analysis based on your own, so that you won't get easily deceived.

So true, they're all for the show and brag of their wins because that's more essential and likable for their audience unlike with their losses, it's no longer amusing as everyone is losing.

I agree, go get the helpful ideas and tips that they get but never get into following all that they are saying. You can take those words but pick what will be helpful for you instead of what everything has been fed to all of you. That's how the social media and influencing business goes, they will make themselves smart as if you're just going to extract what they say but in fact, many of those aren't based on actuality and experiences.

Yes true, information sharing is a big deal and sometimes there could be fake news and sometimes that could turn out to be true. If anyone can find one that is sharing true news and not a fake one then I feel like it is going to be fine and not really end up being anything dangerous. I hope that we could get to a point where we could end up with a good return.

It is hard to find those people but if we could keep doing it then we are going to be fine about it as well. I know that it is going to be something that we could deal with in the end but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a good result that quickly. So, we could find a good place, and do the good thing but the result may come later than we like to, that's just the market.

It could be that getting more money will be more fun because basically humans will always feel the need to continue earning lots of money, as long as what they do doesn't harm other people then it's not a problem, what is a problem is if the influencer is promoting a scam project, only thinking about money what he gets without caring how many people lose because he promotes the project, but what sometimes cannot be denied is that the influencer realizes how difficult it is to make money from trading so he also does affiliates.

There might be viewers or followers which they would really be making themselves get fooled with those influencers which arent really that bothering whether the thing that they are really that promoting are shit or not as long they would really be able to make money or earn and this what matter  the most but worry not because people wont really be that so dumb on not to see something on which it would really be resulting into those kind of avoidance later on on which it might really be leading up into that regret of a certain influencer. Most likely they would really be that so in case with their reputation and if they do see that their recent streams did get some tons or negativity then they would really be making out adjustments because if they dont then this would really be something that ends up with their career and this is something that they dont really like to happen. Influencers who had been able to make themselves getting big in terms of followers and popularity then for sure they've been wary about on their contents. If it turns out that it do brings out that harm into their reputation then they would really be simply making some adjustments with that and cant really just afford on risking it out specially if they do see something odd or something
that not really good to show into the public eye because it would really be rather creating that kind of judgement which would be ending up on negativity.

Those liars ones are the one that makes the rest of them looks terrible. I have seen plenty of them as well and it was a bad period for the crypto world during the bull run because there were plenty of them. I know that it may feel like it is doing fine but at the end of the day it wasn't really doing fine and the results weren't all that great.

I think it should be something important to remember that we are going to make a profit from it as much as we possibly could from it. This isn't that easy obviously but we could make it work one way or another if we push through it. I believe that we are going to end up with something that should be possible to make a profit from but only if we give it enough time to do that.

Everything would really be an act and they would really be making themselves looking good as much as possible and they would really be building up their reputation until into its peak since they do know on what are the benefits and advantages that it could give on the time but we cant really be able to generalize that majority of them are shit and dishonest. There are still a number who are really that honest and really minding about their viewers condition or situation on which only giving out some suggestions or whatever it would be on which it isnt really something that do deceive their followers on which it is something that we do easily notice it out if ever we do see a certain video or streams. Also, making use of your own common sense would really be just enough for you to be able to
determine whether you are following a right person or not. You wont really be that so dumb on not to notice if there's something odd is happening.

Unfortunately most influencers are dishonest as they are trying to sell an image of themselves that is not true, and they do this because they know that if they do not do it then they cannot compete with those that choose to lie, then anyone that is looking to get honest advice from influencers needs to be on their guard as this is unlikely due to the nature of their jobs, and if they want to learn more about the markets they might as well just grab a book and be done with it.

Being an influencer is not a bad thing; it can even be considered an opportunity if the community viewers like your niche, but if not, that means thinking of another theme that viewers will like on the YouTube platform.

It's just that sometimes there are other influencers who are really liars; the way they share the affiliate link is just too deceiving, where in the thumbnail it will be clickbait to the viewers once you play the video, far away on the subject. Then others will say that you will earn this amount by just signing up and sharing your referral link; that's the strategy of others, which I think is not a good method.

A well-known influencer with a good reputation probably won't accept a ridiculous offer that damages their reputation. He may reap huge rewards - but if he does it for his own personal gain without caring about the risk of harm to others, then that is the last day he will ever gain the trust of his followers.

In fact, influencers who care about other people will do good research about something they are going to promote. I think one of the most well known is; Andreas Antonopoulos, he is an advocate for bitcoin.

If the information they shared is true and not just for hype or clout then they are good to follow since there are influencers that are totally toxic and doesn't care on who's gonna see their video, they don't care about promoting scams since their main concern is theirselves or how they can earn money. We need to do research about this so that we can make sure that we will not regret our decision to follow them and their activity.

If we see those guys sharing their referral links then tell about unrealistic claims like what is commonly happening like its easy to earn money here we immediately start to doubt about that since no easy program to anyone that can give them a lot of money. Scammers are the one who usually used that funny words.

Trading is not that easy as you may see it because there are people who ventured into it and lost entirely is either they didn't exercised patient to have a thorough knowledge towards the field before they start funding their account to trade, whereas there are some project owners who hires influencers to talk about their project and after all every it turns to pump and dump, yes this is a pure intension to lure investors into their fucking scam scheme called project in the name of coin to scam people of their good dollars. Sometimes most people finds it very much better running an affiliate program than the trading since they can't afford to lose their funds so alternatively prefers affiliate marketing.

I totally agree with you. Because basically everyone wants to earn money and they have their own type of work. And the same goes for an influencer who actually does their job as an influencer. Apart from all the things they share in their content, whether in the form of invitations or something like that. So actually they don't force anyone. So if we then follow information from an influencer and we immediately believe it without doing in-depth research first.if then everything ends not well. So clearly it is our own fault. Because we have determined and chosen to believe in what the influencer shares. In essence, we must have protection for ourselves in receiving all types of information that reaches us. When we get information, we have to re-research the information we received. Before arriving at the decision or conclusion stage.

influencers are not much different from politicians, their mouths are very sweet, they always show things that we don't know the authenticity of, so I never believe a bit of what they say, as if everything they do is easy (crypto trading, selling products )

I see on YouTube and even on Twitter there are many influencers who masquerade as trading experts even though they have never traded well. Their goal is of course to spread affiliate links that can be generated on the platform they will market on (exchange or gambling site), when you join via their affiliate link and make a deposit then you have given a little of your money to them, but if you really intend to help them and yourself then there's no harm in trying to register via their affiliate link because there are also influencers who give small bonuses to new members who register via the affiliate link they have.

Suffice it to recall a recent event when scammers gained access to Vitalik Buterin Twitter account and trusted him by following a phishing link that the attackers published. And as a result, they all lost the contents of their wallet. If followers didn't blindly trust everything published by Buterin, they would definitely keep their money.

YouTubers you follow for trading or celebrities you follow will always bring you videos in which they have made profits, but never videos in which they experience losses in trading. You should never follow YouTubers directly, just take some ideas from them. How a youtuber trades and how he trades and earns huge profits If you want to trade like that you will definitely lose your money. Make yourself more efficient in trading. You can get ideas from other successful or experienced traders about the things that you find difficult and then you can try to become efficient yourself by using that idea. If you can try this way, you will surely become a successful trader.

Yes, there are way too many of them who only do it for the money and the fame, which results with them not caring about anything else, including their followers. If it means that they would get more followers and more money, they would let you lose money, which would be weird and difficult because if they make you lose money then it would be hard for them to grow, so they do have an incentive to make you profit.

However, just because they have incentive for it doesn't mean that they will only do that, they do not care about that, they will make the loss look like a good thing and they will end up promoting themselves even harder with the money they got in order to make more and more profit that way.

There are ones who do mind their reputation and do show care into their followers/subscribers but there are ones who dont really care as long they could really be able to make money and get those jobs and getting paid
but it would really be that impossible that those who do reach out the state on having tons or good numbers of followers or huge network wont really be considering on protecting their integrity knowing that building up such numbers is never been that easy along the way which is why that majority of them would really be minding first whether the site or company that they are promoting is really that indeed that legit or something not that scam because on the time that problems do exist then this is the time that they would really be attached and would really be the ones would be facing up consequences on the time that legal issues or actions would kick in.
In overall these influencers are really just doing their job and getting paid and as viewers then it would really be always falls down into our own decisions that would be made out according into our own will
because if you do let yourself get easily fooled just because your favorite influencer had said such thing then it is really that your own fault.

Well said. Those were the new trends of making money online and as long as they do it rightly, then there’s no reason that we should run from it. Except for those who are there just to deceive the people and know nothing about crypto affiliating and YouTubing but only to satisfy their own pockets. With that, we should get rid of them.
