You know, even if you compile lists of influencers known on social media platforms like tiktok or Instagram with millions of followers, do you think the followers who support those influencers are because of gambling? If you look at the content of each influencer, it's not about gambling, they just insert it, because the influencers are taking a chance that they have something to gamble with what they promote.
This means that their million followers are also irrelevant if none of them will play gambling on what they advertise, which is also useless, because most of the followers are not gamblers.
I agree with you on this one.
The reason on why most social media promoters have lots of followers are due to their original content. Some online gambling websites approach these said influencers to insert an advertisement on a given gambling platform.
I remember, I was watching this YouTuber who frequently shares fails and jokes. After 1-2 years of being famous, he then inserted a promotion and advertisement about a said gambling website at the end of his videos. Though I do understand that they have to make a living, it somehow turned me off a bit.
