That argument is flawed. In the last bull market, influencers weren't really doing any "promotion"; frankly, most of them were just hyping their own holdings. Buying something and then explaining why it's interesting is different from paid promotion. The key issue is that the crypto YouTube crowd is completely out of touch with reality, which is why you didn't make any money in the last cycle. That's the core problem.

That's right, those YouTube folks are really living in their own fabricated stories. The truth is, no one is making money here.

To be honest, these people are just self-indulgent, disguising the act of harvesting profits as "sharing opinions."

Really, the collateralization data of those KOLs in the last cycle clearly shows the issue... They haven't even properly calculated their own lending positions and are still fooling others?

That's right, those people are just hyping themselves up, treating their holdings like preaching. Those who followed the last bull market indeed suffered heavy losses.

To be honest, these YouTubers are just self-entertaining and haven't considered the life or death of retail investors at all.

nah, the math checks out though - if you actually backtest those youtube shills' call timings against gas price charts, you're looking at what, -40% slippage minimum? they weren't disconnected, they were just optimizing for viewer engagement over execution efficiency. no cap, that's the real arbitrage they were running.

Damn, that hits close to home. Last round was really just these guys hyping themselves up, and they're still bragging about it now.

Well said, that's the spirit. A bunch of people get hyped up and then treat retail investors as ATMs, and they still have the nerve to call it promotion.
